Abstract- This paper examines the challenges faced by the Masterminds Club at Maxton University during the planning and execution of the Tower Crane Challenge, a student-led event aimed at fostering teamwork and engineering skills. Through a detailed case study analysis, the research identifies three primary challenges: coordination and communication breakdowns, interpersonal conflicts between key members, and differing perspectives on problem-solving. The leadership styles of Harott, Zoha, and Professor Sharon are evaluated, revealing how their approaches impacted team performance and event outcomes. Additionally, the study discusses ethical dilemmas encountered during the planning process, such as favouritism and the dismissal of critical details. Drawing from the literature on team dynamics, leadership, and conflict resolution, the paper offers suggestions for improving collaboration, accountability, and ethical standards within voluntary teams. The findings highlight the importance of effective leadership and communication in navigating complex group dynamics, ultimately providing a framework for future research and practical applications in organizing successful events.
