Having to be part of the Little Buoy productions with Dear and, now no longer in the time towards the end of the semester, Dean, I have learnt a lot of things. Being with NZMAC ITO (New Zealand Marine and Composites Industry Training Organisation) with Alex Gatland, who was the Communication Officer,it had major ups and low in problematic situations. Rather than problematic situations occur internally in the team. In this reflection I will be talking about 3 major key learnings that I would take away from - when a team member drops out of the team, team dynamics and personal development.
When we have allocated in our group I have known that we are all hard working people which I felt confidently enough we would all get along really well together. Now

This adds on to how I work in a team environment, I work well when that there is someone being able to be accountable for myself and the work that I said I will accomplish. Dear and Dean have done extremely well in holding accountable with the work and also I feel the need to be recognised after I am done with my work and when someone sees it. For example, it had helped a lot when we had to present our work in front of the class and when I had to show Alex for feedback. It made myself sure that I needed to complete the tasks that I have set out for.
Looking back with having double the work to do with losing a team member, my time management have gone very well as there was some kind of urgency to do work. I had to put this project first from other classes that also needs attention. Which is why my time management needed to be good as there were other priorities in front of
I found working within a team enabled us to spread responsibility and we determined ...
The purpose of this report is to reflect on my team working experience and to critically review the events of this experience. Throughout the process I kept a diary of events which I will be analysing in conjunction with Tuckman and Jensen’s (1977) model on stages of group development, these are: forming, storming, norming, preforming and adjourning.
English has never been my best subject. Reading books can be exciting, but the writing aspect of English can be dreadful. Somehow, however, I passed all my advanced English classes with at least a B, and my teachers always considered me to be “above average.” My impartiality toward English shifted to an indifference near the end of my high school career; my indifference then shifted to appreciation. This appreciation is attributed to American Studies and Honors Writing, the most difficult English classes at Belleville East Township High School. American Studies and Honors Writing have strengthened my writing skills beyond what I believed possible. I still do not believe that I am the best writer, and English may never be my best or favorite
Throughout the semester i only learned few new things but i did improve and solidify my skill of writing. Before my first year of college my skills have always undermined by other high school english teachers and with that came disappointing grades. I am writing this paper as a reflection of the semester and the progress i have made as a writer. I now understand many things that my high school teachers have done a poor job demonstrating and i am grateful that i decided to take my own route in my education instead of their syllabus. I entered the semester with anxiety that i would perform as i did before but i clearly outdid my own expectations by receiving top grades on my essays.
I spoke earlier about creating a method in order to improve the workplace for employees in order to increase the success of an organization; this is a project that requires a lot of attention to detail and plenty of consistency. Being an individual with great recognition of detail and efficiency is something that this program needs because that is what the field of Human Resource Management and Development is all about. We need individuals in this field who pay attention to the details that others may miss out on, and individuals who are not afraid to keep going after a couple of failed attempts. If you are wondering why, it is simple because these are the people who at the end of the day to make a greater difference. Simply put, I know this because I have experienced it throughout my undergraduate career at Binghamton University, through my leadership role on campus by organizing forum, banquets and on campus events and it is something I hope to bring to the Human Resource Management and Development program here at
When engaging in others in a team, communication is a double sided coin. On one side of the coin working with others in a group can be engaging, fun, exciting, and a little easier when it comes to the work load individually. Then when you turn the coin over it can be the complete opposite. Dealing with others in a group/ could be a nightmare, nightmarish in the way of, team members not doing the individually assessments, not communicating having negative attitudes, competitiveness, just being a slacker overall. Unfortunately these are the risks we take when joining a team for group projects. This essay will be discussing my personal group journey, behaviors, problems, influences, leadership, problem solving, effectiveness as group, and the overall team communications to accomplish the goal at hand.
There should be A effective communication:-there should be always a positive feed back about us .when we work in a team and we should be capable of all thing what we are able to do.
Communication. Did the individual interact effectively with other team members? Did he or she show sensitivity to other’s feelings and learning needs?
From the beginning, where we were unfamiliar with each other and became a team, my team and I had started to learn each other name and getting to know each other. Throughout each meeting, we slowly start to feel more comfortable and open minded with each other. Not only are we getting familiar with each other, each meeting that was held we progress of becoming an effective team member, we learn our strengths and weaknesses of everyone. During the meetings, we learn many concepts from the textbook, “Communicating in Small Groups: Principles and Practices” by Steven A. Beebe and John T. Masterson. We were able to learn different types of concept in the textbook and utilized it as a team to complete certain tasks. The three concepts that impacted my team and I are human
After completing a class, trainees could answer behavior checklists that would help the manager gauge Heather’s progress in each behavior. This could be instituted for all trainers and their results could be posted, ranking their performance against their peers. The manager could complete critical incident reports during monitoring to review with Heather and provide specific feedback. In addition, the manager could implement a comparative peer evaluation system among all the trainers. Brownlee and Motowidlo (2011) found that increasing accountability among group members motivated interpersonal contextual behavior and improved friendliness, cooperation, and supportive behaviors. The authors also suggested that any recognition or reward system be based on group performance, which was shown to encourage the same behaviors. In addition, it is likely that Heather’s motivation would increase if her peers were evaluating her efforts and her performance impacted the entire team. As an added benefit, Heather would gain the opportunity to shadow the best trainers and model their
This is done through the two commitments of fostering collaboration by building trust and facilitating relationships and strengthening others by increasing self-determination and developing competence. This is another practice that Sally could use being a senior manager because she is in charge of getting her team members to work together. As she works with them and they work with each other, relationships are being formed and trust is being built. There are many ways Sally could increase the self-determination of her employees. She could provide them with choices in their projects and hold them accountable for their projects. Sally also used this practice with David when she made it known to him that he was held accountable for not completing his projects by the required due dates. This is beneficial to use because it allows the teammates to get to know each other better and collaborate to come up with new and different ideas. It also encourages workers to try their best when they are held accountable for their
At First, we are working well on roles. For example, in our five people group that three boys are the “Maintenance roles” which defined as “a group’s social atmosphere” (98). To be more specific, they will contact group members before group meetings to make sure that everyone finish their own parts. They are more socialize and always contact. On the other hand, two girls were more like “task roles” and “they help accomplish a group’s task.” (98). We always check our group work deadline. We divided works for our group members when we have group work. We are the roles for keeping the group on track. Then be on time in group meeting is getting in the way. When we just met each other first time, we did not know each other very well. We seems unconcern so
After a review of my performance in the assigned group, I have learned a great deal about myself and behavior in the team-setting situation. This is not the first experience in a team-setting. Previous team setting experiences were conducted in sporting and recreational environments rather than academics. While the setting and the environments were indeed different, there were many commonalities and correlations between the team settings I previously experiences and the current academic team-setting experience for this academic course project.

Another important aspect in towards positive group dynamics is to make all members feel accepted in spite of any diversity. Trust is an important trait for the survival of a group. More importantly, the likelihood of accomplishing goals increases with maximum trust and confidence. However, numerous personalities with different backgrounds may cause friction while attempting to resolve conflicts or reaching a consensus. These challenging situations can lead to stress and tension amongst the group members, but when successfully resolved they lead to further strengthening of the bonds and the emergence of a more cohesive group. Also certain measures can be taken to avoid certain petty discrepancies right from the beginning. Specific ground rules; code of ethics and conduct should be established that would encourage smooth functioning and efficient target
