Recommended: Leadership in a group context

Nathan – You did an excellent job as a group leader this week. It is always a little more difficult at the beginning when the group was just formed and its dynamics is still unknown. From my perspective our group is great because everybody is willing to participate in the discussion and absolutely everybody does this in a meaningful way. Thus, on Monday while analyzing the cases, impressively you identified all points that needed to be discussed and all material was very well covered on Wednesday and Friday. You led the discussion according to your schedule but you were opened for little tweaks responding to the group needs. You were constantly encouraging other group members to participate in the discussion by asking probing questions but

  • Assessment of Members of a Group Project

    1.     Christine’s leadership abilities could benefit by having knowledge of the stages of group development. Specific to her situation, it seems that aside from the very first group meeting, Mike was not present for the forming stage of the group. As a result, questions such as “What can the group offer me?”, “Can my needs be met and still contribute to the group”, and other discovery inquiries did not get answered for Mike so he has not felt part of the team so he has withdrawn from the group. As a leader, Christine could have encouraged to Mike the importance of being present for group meetings so he can be part of the team. For example, at the lunch room incident when Mike walked away, she could have talked with him individually and explained to him that she perceives that he does not feel welcome and has been avoiding team meetings. Christine could address the how important it is to attend the team meetings, explain to him the “WWIFM” (what’s in it for me) aspects and the fact that team needs him as he has so much that could contribute and add value to the team. She could also indicate that the team’s success will only be possible when every member contributes. By doing so, she can help ensure that Mike is able to join the group during the forming stage and hopefully move quickly to the norming and then performing stages.

    Throughout the course of a Master’s counseling program, moments of doubt, and a lack of working knowledge are bound to play a major role in the confidence a future counselor will posses in effectively implementing interventions early on in the instructional phase of his or her career. Corey (2010) states that an effective group leader, is able to become aware of their own vulnerabilities, and take responsibility in their responses. To become aware of a possible vulnerable area, a counselor must first take a concise look into their personal strengths and weakness, and then decide to actively seek out assistance with working on vulnerabilities. In exploring the roles of an effective group leader, I have realized that within the group process, I most fear the roles of a group leader that pertain to direct confrontation of a client, I also fear that the improper implementation of a intervention could lead to potential harm of the client. Attending to these fears I hold regarding group member confrontation, and intervention implementation is the key to gaining further understanding into how I can become comfortable with these essential functions of a group leader. The current paper will take a closer look into my vulnerabilities, using current research to gain insight into how I can overcome fears, when facilitating a task, psycho-educational, counseling, and psychotherapy group.

  • Reflective Essay On Presentation

    We done the support team over skype. In my idea it wasn’t that bad it helped me to be more confidante talking front of others about my problem. I didn’t expect much from others because they were nervous about their own presentation and we were thinking how to present from others. I got good feed backs from others and my presentation wasn’t complete by the time we were talking about it. I tried my best to help others in areas that they were struggling in like time or the way that they talking but it was hard to comment on each o0ther work because we tried our best. In my idea the tree parts that I had strength in more than others were nonverbal compunction, eye contact and my delivery of content was good as well (that’s what I think). The first part that I missed I think was the quoting part. As said before my papers got mixed a little and I lost the track of quoting. Im not sure but I think I could be more prepare than this. I done personation before and I think that was one of the top five but it wasn’t the number one that I wanted to be. And last part which is not in the grading book is I didn’t talk that much about what I’m going to do in the

    This was the third week of the team debate, and I was impressed with our progress. I was exhilarated by the thought of engaging in constructive argument amongst my team. We had been in constant interaction and communication throughout since the beginning of the task, which was pleasing. I had the utmost faith in my team, to fulfil their individually assigned roles. This week was extremely chaotic for most of our team members, especially with a few members writing exams, and our team leader being away on a field trip. It was, however pleasing that they were still able to communicate, and ensure that the team remained informed. Our leader expressed eagerness and managed to engage with us throughout the week, although she was experiencing network

  • Reflection Of Group Reflection

    715 Words  | 2 Pages

    I’m tired, a little stressed and disappointed with some of the group members this week. This has been the most challenging time in group so far. Everything is usually fine, but something is off this week. Although, we have group chats, our group cohesion is off. After, deciding to do the outline one way, we ended up doing it another way. That was cool until individuals brought the confusion. One person thought this way, the other thought that way. It was a mess. Our group dynamics were all over the place. The impact this had on me was very negative. With your help Mrs. Evans, we eventually decided to keep the outline simple. The other group members picked their duties, while mine were assigned to me. It did not bother me that I was assigned duties. Actually, my absence from the meeting helped to decide what I was to do. When it comes to the norming and forming of this group, I find myself at a loss for words. The norming process is off. There is less cohesion than usual; we have not been as effect this week. Also, relationships do not seem to be strengthening. This makes me angry because it affects us all. Unlike the norming stage, the forming stage is pretty solid. All of us are comfortable (in my opinion) giving our opinions, and we understand what is required of us. There is no need to form rules they are already in place. In my opinion, some of the members did not follow the rules. I for one broke a rule.

    his was our third group session, it was a different experience as I was the group leader this time around. In following previous protocol, I led the group by “checking in” and asking how everyone’s week has been going. As each member shared their feelings/thoughts and small comments, I had disclosed how nervous I was feeling about running a group for the first time among professionals in training. By disclosing such limited information, I noticed the group was surprised by my confession. One member flashed a smile at me in disbelief, while another member giggled to herself and said, “Wow, I would never have known you get nervous in front of people.” While it seemed to catch everyone’s attention, I used this opportunity to encourage participation by asking if anyone else had felt nervous/anxious this evening as well. As discussions and comments were bouncing
