Through this group assignment, I really learned much. First, I realize that I should learn more about finance and accounting .when talking about the last part in presentation during discussion, I cannot participate in the debate, and even do not know what they said when comes some proper nouns. Although my major is logistics, it is good for me to learn more about other subject knowledge such as finance and management. Second is although we had discussion many times, we were inefficient and wasted much time. We supposed to have a target or task for each discussion, and leader need to coordinate the meeting. In addition, democracy does not work every time in small group, everyone has a different idea and wants to persuade others, which is the reason that a good leader is very important for a team, so that I should start to train leadership skills. Third is that unity and cooperation are essential to a good team. Team members need to work for…
There will be differences of opinion, no one group member is the soul voice of the group, group members will do their best to reach a best case solution. Any conflicts that cannot be resolved among the group members will be forwarded to the course instructor for resolution.

Effective team are important, and their functions crucial to their success. I have found that clear goals, relaxed environment, open communication, and freedom to express ideas and feelings are great ways to ensure success. In the video “Helping Annie”, the dynamics of the team were lost due to lack of information, who was right and who could be trustworthy. When team members meet, they should feel as though they blend in with the group. They should feel a commitment to the goals and achievements to the group. What I know about groups are, that having valued diversity, defined roles, balanced participation, and cooperative relationships help with moving the group to a positive outcome. As a participative leader, as it is said in our eBook Working In Groups, “there is a balance of primary roles and when team members know their roles, work to their strengths, and actively manage weaknesses.” (Engleberg, 2013, p. 55).…

On September 8, my Career Leadership Academy Class was asked to attend a team workshop where we would not only work on our own leadership skills, but we would put them to use in group work. This workshop focused on the understanding of group roles and behaviors needed for effective teamwork. The workshop involved a series of group activities where we learned to demonstrate all of our personal strengths as well as performing with along with others.…

Death is usually a word most people never want to think or talk about. But death is something that's always going to be there no matter what, it’s inevitable and part of our human life cycle. The worst way a person can die is alone. When people imagine a funeral they usually picture people, wearing black, crying for the person being buried. People never imagine a person being alone when they pass away with no one there to claim their body. Nobody wants to die alone, they want to be remembered. Imagine what it was like for George Bell to have no one there for him in, “The Lonely Death of George Bell” by N. R. Kleinfield.…
In my opinion, group work is a type of cooperative learning that helps people to accomplish a certain task in a faster and more effective manner. Team working also helps to achieve the tasks that are impossible to finish by one individual. However, if people in a group have a lot of conflicts, group work will not be able to achieve as much as we expected. There are many reasons which lead to dissatisfaction in group work such as individualism as well as conflicts in opinion and time.…
Knowing our personal work experience background our group structured has solidified. The expectations and behaviors of current members were well established and respected. I can agree that the procedures and function of group structure was indeed similar as described in our book. Our positions were well established along with our multiple leaderships. We have tried to limit and avoid the norm conformity. Norm Conformity is when we have a certain individual with a set skill and capability performing “significantly below his or her capacity so the group norms are not violated”. Luckily everyone contributes equally and made the tea environment very manageable and we got the work accomplished in ample…
Effective work groups are essential to the survival of any business. As I thought about the groups I belong to I tried to find reason one that was effective that I did not oversee. Unfortunately, the only effective group that this applied to was a group I once belonged to at my previous company. This was the internet marketing group at a Timeshare company. Before I am able to talk about my group specifically I feel it is important to define what it is that makes a group a group. A group is “Two or more individuals in face-to-face interaction, each aware of the others who belong to the group, and each aware of positive interdependence as they strive to achieve mutual goals” (Johnson & Johnson, 2006). A group needs to integrate the multiple realities that individuals bring to it. Many believe that people who think alike or have similar personalities make up an effective group, when in reality they do not. This group was made up of three individuals, my subordinate Karen, my Director Jodi and myself. Together the three of us were responsible for developing a marketing plan and executing it to bring in six million dollars a year. This was a very important task to generate six million dollars a year in a department that was just started. Our work group was extremely effective for a variety of reasons. We knew how to communicate with each other, we had clearly defined individual roles, and we had great leadership.…
Let’s first start off with the positive things that group work can bring to table. From a young age, children are put into group situations to learn how to socialize and work with other people. These groups help them develop and learn how to appropriately interact in the world when they have grown and matured. Later in life, group is still assigned in many areas of a person’s life; at home, at school, and at work. Some of the positive aspects of group work is that is teaches teamwork and communication. People must be verbal and opinionated to get work done properly and on time. Almost always, a leader will emerge. This person tends to be someone who has an authoritative personality. It can teach someone leadership ship skills and organization. Many times, opinions will differ and debates will arise. In this sense, it can teach people good negotiating skills and how to defend a position. The most important pro to group work is that it teach critical thinking and problem solving. There will never be a time when everyone agrees. Many times, people must compromise to get a good and productive outcome.…
As a group we think that we have all learned to listen and manage our time effectively without having any problems with meetings and arranging them. Also it was very easy to come up with a business idea because everyone was giving at least one or two ideas on what it should be. We have also learned that as a group everyone should complete a task that they have experience in or have an idea of it is about so that we can all give one strong report at the end rather than choosing tasks based on quantity. However, we did find it difficult to have discussions because when one person gave their point of view other group members did not agree and when asked to give their point of view they responded with nothing which was very irritating to everyone. But at the end everyone managed to pull it together and complete the work in their own time.…
