Doing work in group is inevitable task that every MBA or even Bachelor students have to encounter. Sometime, every task is done well, but sometimes, they must face with some problems because of diversity. In conducting the final group project of People, Organizations and Change Management, I can find out the several new issues to concern and cope with. The purpose of this essay is to identify personal characteristics of team members, show the performance of our team to get jobs done, and also come up with the problems and solutions. Absolutely, because our group members come from different background, so we are treated in different ways that make the individual is not alike. Starting from me, I am a youngest one in my family; this makes me quite self-willed. However, my parents do not spoil me, so I do everything by myself since I was young. When I was in university, I studied in business field. I graduated in major of finance. Then, I started work as a broker since then. Thus, I am quite familiar with mathematics because I stay with the number everyday. Next is Petch, he also studied in finance field. Then, after he graduated, he worked as a broker in the same company that I used to work and he resigned to do as a freedom trader. He is quite a logical person, do everything step by step. Our last group member is Lookkaew. Her character looks high self-confident. She studied in marketing field in Bachelor Degree and now she works in sales and marketing department; these might make Lookkaew to have a good communication skill.

The solution is we communicate in different ways to deal with this problem. For example, if Lookkaew wanted to share her ideas but other cannot understand, she would try to tell in other forms of communication, such as, showing the diagram to get more insight of idea. In conclusion, because of the individual diversity, this leads each member has different personality. Before well-balanced, we should find out each personality to be able to know each other, so we have to adapt ourselves in order to be the good ingredients that can fulfill in one group. However, if we found some problems occurred in the group, we should find the appropriate solutions to immediately solve the problems to avoid other big problems.
It is another extremely hectic Monday in the Emergency Department. The waiting room is building up fast with many new walk-in patients. Fire Rescue trucks are calling one after the next with several medical and trauma cases.

This is just one example of a typical Monday and why Teamwork and Collaboration are vital components to run an efficient nursing unit, especially in the Emergency Department.

The big 5 personality traits model measures the five largest dimensions of a person’s personality. The first one is openness, which measures a person’s level of creativity as well as their desire for knowledge and new experiences (O’Neill & Allen, 2011). The second trait is conscientiousness, which determines an individual’s level of care in their life and work.

In different stages of teamwork, conflicts and arguments may occur for as members have different standpoints which need to be harmonized within the team.

Teamwork is one of the important component that is required in any types of business organization .

Realizing that a group can become a high performance team is important. Accomplishing this goal is invaluable, advantageous and profitable.

Group work can be one of the most emotional times a student’s life. Students can face challenges working with people whose personalities they are unacquainted with. Perhaps because their past experiences with group work has led them to fear outcomes of upcoming group projects. It is possible that some students take on more work than others or that some students are often not heard. It is also possible that some students compete for prestige with other students or that some students take advantage of leadership roles. Whatever the problem is, assigned group work can conjure unpleasant musings for students. But what if students who were assigned into groups approached the idea of “two heads are better than one” and applied it to their assignment as they established group expectations. Not only will that inspire a change in perspective, but it will allow students to share different skill sets as they work together to reach a common goal. When group members share their knowledge and look at their different skill sets as an opportunity to thrive, the possibilities of achieving a successful project are endless. As the spark of one idea ignites into a group’s central mission, the opportunity for students to learn about team dynamics opens the doors for their abilities to grow. As our Service Learning Project officially comes to end, I realized that it was teamwork that had brought upon the successful completion of our project. Through my Service Learning experience, I will demonstrate the importance of effective group work.

A group can be define as ‘any number of people who (1) interact with one another; (2) are psychologically aware of one another and (3) perceive themselves to be a group’ (Mullins, L, 2007, p.299).
