Recommended: Managing conflict and negotiation

In modules 4 and 5 I learned a lot about the differences between groups and teams, how teams work, and how to manage a team. I also learned about negotiations and conflict. Over the last two weeks I completed five different assessments which were:

1. Team effectiveness

2. How good are your leadership skills?

3. How good are your management skills?

4. How good are your people skills?

5. How good is your anger management?

The first assessment I did was the team effectiveness assessment. I scored a 67 on this assessment. From doing this assessment I learned that I am good at worrking on a team but I need to work on better conflict management. Dealing with conflice is one of my weaknesses, I struggle with the storming stage of Bruce …show more content…

Along with many of the other assesments I 've taken it recommended I work on dealing with conflict. This assesment taught me that even though choosing similar people for a team may be easier, having some diversity on your team is more effective. Forming a diverse team may create some conflict but it will help the team bcome more creative and able to come up with new ideas. This assessment suggested that I work on delegating tasks better. In order for me to deligate tasks better I need to be able to clearly communicate the desired outcome and provide responsibilities and boundries to those I deligate tasks …show more content…

The results for this assessment did not surprise me. I feel I handle my anger very well. By doing this assessment I learned that it is important to have an understanding of what triggers my anger. If I started a dairy and recorded the situations that made me angry I may see a trend. If I find a trend, I could come up with a better solution on how to handle a similar situation and be prepared for it. I also learned how important it is to regularly releive stress by deep breathing or doing something like exercising so my anger doesn 't build up and make things worse. Another important thing I learned is good communication skills help when your comfortable talking about different issues that bother me. One sentance that really stood out to me in my results was "Accept that things don 't always work out." That is a huge struggle for me bacuse I 'm always looking for that happy ending which doesn 't always

    The self-awareness assessment was probably the most useful for me out of them all. One of the questions asked was “I feel in charge of what happens to me, good and bad”. When I first answered the question I gave myself a 6 because I completely felt in the beginning that everything that happens in like to me is completely up to me, I determine if I do well in school, work or in relationships and the route that I personally take in these positions in life are going to determine my success. However, after beginning to understanding what it really means to be self-aware I’ve noticed I can be to narrow minded preventing me from working effectively on teams, my attitude toward not asking for help, other opinions then only doing what I think is right could lead to my dismay. I’ve made it appoint to being more open to bringing others into my decision

    One of the key assignments that I think has allowed me to develop the most during this module is the assessment centre. During this task for Enterprise Rent-A-Car, we were put into groups and given a specific budget of money that we could donate to a panel of charities, based on the company 's values. What I wanted to achieve was to get an insight into what the environment is like and the sort of exercises that take place so that I can become familiar with the process, and I can use it to my advantage. Going to the assessment centre, I was slightly nervous as I had never taken part in one before and for the fact that I was being marked on my performance, so I was unsure of what to expect, which made me feel uncomfortable. However, during the exercise, I became more comfortable as I got into the task and though that I made a valuable contribution to the group. I made a conscious effort to be confident in challenging the

    Skills and knowledge possessed by every member is also important for a team to become high performance. Although it is among the most important factors, however, it must be coupled with a good working relationship with every team member and good collaboration with every team member. The members who possess the good skills and wide knowledge will be a useful resource to the team if that team member can share their strengths with the other team members and vice versa. It is usually misconstrued that having skillful and intelligent team members is already enough to make a team work right. This kind of thinking is the reason why most teams, despite all of those competent members they have, fail to achieve their goals. A team should establish one common goal, not to think that way and develop a good working relationship with each member. (retrieved from: http://www.strictlysuccess.com, August 18, 2005) This can be done by self awareness exercises, like the DISC assessment and other assessments or any other kind of self awareness exercises regarding communication style differences.
