Understanding communication within a business place or group can be difficult with diversity and a multitude of ways to manage a topic or task. There are a wide variety of hindrances within a group or organization that keep a person or group from succeeding. Identifying the best method to pursue and achieve success of a task within a group is best done with an open mind and creativity. Not one person has all of the answers; therefore it is imperative to listen to others and their opinions. Whether working on an individual level or within a group, understanding and accepting diversity and
opening up to creativity allows the doors of success to open. Deadlines can be attained by
using more hands and ideas. More people involved leads to more creativity and more
alternatives to attaining the goal. Working in groups is an effective way to manage time
and achieve success.
On a given day at the office, the average person will embark upon a task in which
they cannot fulfill by the deadline or do without additional resources. Unable to meet the
deadline before the project is even started is one reason for a group to form. The
individual given the task can call upon assistance from peers to assist. This, in part,
makes the individual, whom has created the group, the leader. Being a leader in this
instance, the individual will want people who are motivated to assist them. They also
want to gather individuals who have the resources, such as time, knowledge, and open-
mindedness. This leader delegates work to the members of the newly-formed team to
enable he or she to accomplish the task in the allotted time frame. This situation occurs in
larger corporations where the ability to create small groups such as this is allowable. A
leader, again, in this instance, has formed a group of which all members are working
together
