Group Communication: Team Analysis

Introduction
The learning team charter is the Bible that every team must have to complete any certain task. It introduces the team to one another and gives vital information to each team member who needed to go through the school journey together as a team. Information included in the team charter is personal information such as contact information so that the team can keep in contact with one another anytime that it is needed (Locker & Kienzler, 2008). Other information available through the team charter is learning the weaknesses and strengths of the other members on the team.

When resolving criticism one should first identify the needs of each team member, so everyone can understand the concerns of the critic. Understanding the real concern of the critic is to paraphrase, which will allow the members to let the critic know what their statement means to the group. Furthermore, checking interferences will identify the implied meaning of nonverbal and verbal content of the criticism.
