These observations and analysis of individual group members work and actions allows for reflection, constructive criticism and what it implies for our group as a whole. Starting with Swen, our final group leader for this course. Did an incredible job keeping everyone organized and on task. I have watched Swen, like a turtle peeking out of his shell in the beginning of this course. To be this strong public speaker and coordinator. In this term, Swen really picked up on everything that he was having struggles with. Organization, cooperation and leadership skills all greatly improved. He was able to keep everyone in their Facebook group chat, on topic for group meetings. By being cooperative with each member, even though we were all stressed out because of the essays due. Swen took the higher rout and forced us as a group to put that on the back burner for the time being. In the second part of term 5, Swen was incredible speaking in front of the class. Thinking on his feet and making sure that everyone was able to submit their team reports, well …show more content…

Over the last few classes I noticed that I took the role of leader, overstepping my boundaries and almost becoming bossy towards other members of my group. I do not deny this, but I will not deny putting my foot down to make sure the group was on the right track. I took on the role of leader-as-coach because I came up and showed people how things should be done. I never ordered anyone around. That I made sure of, because Swen was leader, and took on the more of the non-verbal communication between the group that kept everyone happy. With such high expectations there was never a moment where he didn 't need to be playing peace keeper. John on the other hand was the glue of the group, keeping people together without even realising it. Applying the comic relief when it was due, John kept us sane throughout this last portion of the

    Group therapy is considered one of the most resourceful forms of therapy. The benefits to group therapy can be both cost-effective and a great means of support (Corey, Corey & Corey, 2014). The process of experiencing ideas and viewpoints expressed by your peers allows group members to become more susceptible to the counseling procedure. Group counseling also helps individuals to feel a sense of belonging due to similar situations and experiences shared by the group. The sense of support from group members can be an excellent means towards developing long-lasting relationships and developing communication skills needed to move forward during the counseling phase. In this paper, I will discuss my experiences throughout the group-counseling phase.

  • Reflective Group Dynamics Essay

    Each individual is categorized into a group from the day they were conceived. According to Kozier et al (2010) a group is “two are more people who have shared need and goals, who taken each other in account in their and who, thus, are held together and set apart from others by virtue of their interaction” (p. 400). The communicate that takes place between members of the group is group dynamic (Kozier et al, 2010). Motivation for participation and similarity of other group members and the goals of the group will affect the group dynamic (Kozier et al, 2010). The type of group that was created was a task group and Kozier et al (2010) stated that “the focus for such group is completion of a specific task, and the format is defined at the outset by the leader or members” (p.400). The purpose of the group was to choose a community health care organization, and then presents the information to the class. To increase the student understandings of what a community health organization is; to demonstrate understanding of community based health care nursing practice. To provided information on the different aspects of the community health organization and to identify various roles of nurses within the community health organization.

  • I am a Born Leader

    Being a leader for in almost any given situation has been an innate quality that I have possessed for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself nominating myself for leadership positions. My most recent and fulfilling leadership position would be my eleventh and twelfth grade school years when I held the position of Drum Major for Purnell Swett High School’s Marching Rams. Being in this position meant that I had to give up the spotlight of performance, turn my back to the crowd, and lead my fellow band members on and off of the field of competition, high school football games, and community parades. Over the course of these two years, I have learned many defining qualities about myself and have learned how to incorporate these newly learned and innate qualities to my everyday life. Throughout this two year experience the quality that I feel tested more than others, was the quality of patience. Often times before I held this position, I found myself becoming extremely impatient with individuals and situations when they would not go the way as planned or as smoothly as I had planned for them to go. This position taught me that not all situations are going to run smoothly and that we need to make the best of what we are presented with. It also taught me that not all individuals learn at the same pace, the same way, and at times do not handle individuals close to their own age giving instructions on how to complete a task. With this realization, I found myself trying to find methods of teaching that appealed to all individuals as well as found ways of not coming off as trying to force individuals to complete the tasks the way that I see fit.

Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer, Orienter, Piggy-Backer, and Encourager. One of our strengths as a team is that we get input from everyone involved. Every member of our team is a leader in some way. Part of being a good leader is knowing how important it is to receive the best ideas from each member of their team. We attend group meetings where we discuss any challenges, issues, and problems. At these meetings, we often exchange ideas or brainstorm new ones with each other and come up with the best and most creative team solutions as potential answers to those perceived problems.

    Having had various leadership roles throughout my student career, I think that being committed to the task at hand is essential in order for everyone to be on the same page and working toward the same goal. During my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to student teach with my vocal teacher in the middle school and freshman girls’ choirs. After two months into the year, she had to leave for personal reasons, and it was a really hard adjustment for all the students in the choirs. In being the student teacher for 2 of those choirs, this was especially difficult because the kids didn’t like the change. The substitute teacher didn’t quite measure up to the standards that were already set, so it was easy for discouragement and negativity to set in....
