  As mentioned by Kok, (2021) in the article, “Go-Ahead Singapore carries out 6-months trial of public buses with solar panels”, the first public buses fitted with ultra-thin solar panels started plying the roads, in a six-month proof-of-concept trial by bus operators by Go-Ahead Singapore to charge their batteries instead of depending on an alternator. The panels, which weigh less than 20 kg, are slender and produce 1,000 watts of power. These are predicted to save 1,400 liters of fuel yearly, cutting 3.7 tonnes of carbon emissions.  Kok mentioned that these figures are based on data from a similar trial that Go-Ahead has been conducting since 2019 in Southampton in the United Kingdom, where there are currently 18 buses fitted with these solar panels. The six-month trial here aims to evaluate how the buses perform in Singapore, how effective the panels are in harnessing solar energy and reducing fuel consumption and to ensure that the panels are robust enough to withstand the higher

  Due to the complexity of the project, it is very important that the team members are able to gather the necessary information and execute the tasks according to the deadline. Being a leader requires people management, strategic thinking, planning, and delivery. The leader of a project team needs to have the necessary skills to effectively communicate with his or her classmates. This will help motivate the team and deliver clear instructions so they can carry out the tasks effectively with confidence.  In contrast, students are expected to make mistakes in school, but they are also given the opportunity to learn from them. They can be properly guided by their teachers and peers. But in the VUCA World, people are judged on their first interactions and how quickly they can overcome their mistakes.

  According to the article Kok, (2021), ‘Go-Ahead Singapore rolls out 6-month trial of public buses with solar panels, lightweight and slim solar panels are being installed on buses by Go-Ahead Singapore to charge their batteries instead of depending on an alternator. The panels, which weigh less than 20 kg, are slender and produce 1,000 watts of power. These are predicted to save 1,400 liters of fuel yearly, cutting 3.7 tonnes of carbon emissions. 5 As part of a trial lasting half a year, the panels are evaluated based on their capacity to increase fuel economy, absorb sunlight, and work at higher temperatures and after regular cleaning. Due to Singapore’s sunny, hot and humid climate, the panels are predicted to do better here than in the United Kingdom where the data was based. By future statistics, they would like to increase the production of these buses.  Solar panel buses will overcome future environmental side effects that we are doing harm now to the earth. It reduces carbon e
