A lack of effort from some team members

This was a huge issue from my perspective, it was apparent that some team members were not putting in the required effort to help other team members out. We resolved an issue at the start of the project which was communication. This enabled each team member to communicate with each other, so communication should be easy. One week, after a team meeting the minutes secretary needed to e-mail everyone the minutes of the meeting because they did not get the chance to distribute them in the lesson. Therefore, this team member was supposed to e-mail everyone the minutes of the meeting so they had a copy. The team member failed to do this and as a result, every other team member did not have a copy and they were unable to put it their folder.

How my contribution affected others

To resolve this problem I spoke to the group member the next day and made sure that they printed out a copy of the minutes of the meeting and they produced it to everyone else. This was a quick an easy solution and all of the group members ended up with the correct documentation.

Was this a long or short term issue?

This issue seemed at first, long term but because I spoke to the team member about it, it resulted that it was a short term issue.
