Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Good security questions are safe, stable, memorable, and precise, easy, and persistent. Cyber security ventures shows that the number of humans on the internet will triple from 2015 to 2022 and reach 6 billion. And by 2030 that number will rise to 7.5 billion people. The internet is still very much like the Wild West. The fact of the matter is the world is increasingly reliant on technology and this reliance will continue as we introduce the next generation of smart internet-enabled devices that have access to our networks via Bluetooth and WiFi.
irstly, I will have an online meeting with my teammates. The first problem we will face is that 6 experts in the team are geographically dispersed which means I can not require them to be in a same place at the same time to have a meeting to discuss about our project. It is not good to only use writing or e-mail to discuss about our task because it lacks of feedback. So online meeting is an alternative way that can make them get to know each other face-to-face so that they can get feedback rapidly. Interpersonal communication has three ways: oral communication, writing communication and nonverbal communication. (Stephen P. Robbins, 2005) Oral communication is a good and fast way to communicate with each other and every member can get the feedback rapidly. I will let them introduce themselves and what they are good at in their fields. It is a good way to realize what they are good at and what they are not good at. In the future, they will learn from each other and use others’ advantages to complete the task efficiently.
Secondly, we will discuss and figure out what is our task and the process of completing the project in case we will not deviated our tasks. And then I will train them. According to a paper in 2008, “team training promotes teamwork and enhances team performance.” (Salas, Eduardo, Nancy J. Cooke, and Michael A. Rosen, 2008). An analysis in 2014 concluded that team training is “useful for improving cognitive outcomes, affective outcomes, teamwork processes, and performance outcomes.” (Eduardo Salas, Deborah DiazGranados, Cameron Klein, C. Shawn Burke, Kevin C. Stagl, Gerald F. Goodwin, and Stanley M. Halpin, 50(6), 2008) Since they are experts, I will not train them about knowledge but how to work together. Cohesion is the soul of a team. It is very necessary to train the members of team to make them realize that how important it is. The experts are all the figures of authority, they must be very proud. This will must bring the barriers and bad influence during the team work. Therefore my job is to break the barriers and get them together. I will give them a little task they can not finish it unless they do it together. If they achievement the goal, they will figure out the important of the cohesion, if not, their prides would be broke. They are intelligent people, they will reflect their past mistakes and realize what should they do for the project.
After they know how to work，it is getting on the right track. That time, I will empower the experts to play their roles in the project. (Stephen P. Robbins, 2005) This strategy would make a good use of existing resources and would encourage employees to be more active. Many organizations, managers and managerialists think it is a very important theory of our time. (Potterfield, Thomas, Quorum Books, 1999, p. 6) Because it is a project due by December 15th, we need to set up a timeline to separate the whole project to make sure the task will be finished step by step. (Grafton, Anthony; Rosenberg, Daniel , 2010) When I design the timeline, I need to leave at least 20% of the free time in case some emergencies. If the emergencies happen, it would be a lot of economic losses and it is my errors of management.
Besides, 6 experts are all from different places which means they grown up and were educated in different environment. This may leads to cultural differences and causes some conflicts. As a leader of the team, I play the most important role, like a fusion combines all members into a real team. So that I need to know some culture about every member. Cross-cultural communication is not easy, not only the lang
