I'm jet lagged and tired. My alarm goes off, a screeching "beep, beep, beep!" I get out of bed, turn the alarm off, and begin my routine - coffee, shower, flight suit, bag drag from the lobby to the crew bus. Once all bags are loaded onto the airplane, we head over to base operations for our crew brief. Crew brief is complete and its back to the aircraft, so I can refuel, inspect, and then take off. This is my life as a C-17A Flying Crew Chief (FCC) stationed at Travis AFB CA. You're a jack of all trades when you're an FCC. The C-17A is a large military transport aircraft. It performs strategic airlift missions, and transports troops and cargo throughout the world. When on these types of missions, I'm usually gone from one to two weeks depending on whats going on in the world. There was a mission that took us from California to South Carolina to pick up Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. We crew rested there before we started our…
The group originally chose the project on respect towards older people aimed at 15-19 year olds however, following a group discussion decided to change the project to recognising stress in carers. This was because the group felt that the carers topic was currently highlighted in the media and there was a large volume of literature available from a variety of sources. The group also felt that the respect towards elders project was quite a broad topic which could be interpreted in many different ways which may have been challenging to convey on a poster. The group preferred a poster over a leaflet as they felt it could reach a wider audience when placed anywhere rather than someone having to physically collect a leaflet. The group also thought a poster would be more eye catching, easier to read and concise for stressed busy carers who wouldn’t want to read large volumes of text. 152 words…

Teamwork is characterized by having a sense of purpose to achieve a clear, specific goal that all members believe is important to attain. A team can be assigned to carry out a specific project, such as seeking ways to improve profitability in a small business. A team could also be assembled to find the right candidate for a job opening. All teams should consist of members who are capable of contributing to the achievement of the goal based on their level of knowledge or expertise. If a team is assigned the task of development of an expense budget, but one or more of the members has little or no budgeting experience, the whole team will suffer as a result. A successful team contains a spirit of cooperation. All members need to work together to achieve the specific goal. This can be difficult, especially if some members possess strong personalities or are highly opinionated. Successful teams tend to have strong leaders who can keep everybody on the same page while keeping the petty bickering to a minimum. Teams should also have a set of rules that determines its operating procedures. These rules help to keep the team on track and eliminate ambiguities. For example, a team might have a rule that all team members must agree on a decision before it can be implemented. This would require that the team deliberate, much in the way of a trial jury, until a consensus is reached.…

What exactly is an effective team? The concept of an effective team refers to individuals who have been randomly selected to function as a collective group (professionally). As a group, they are responsible for meeting specific goals by illustrating excellent verbal communication, coordinating their efforts as a team; express the significance of planning procedures and techniques for making consensus decision. The evaluation of team effectiveness is the essential factor for competitive success in business today. These common factors are pre-determined on three critical levels: individual, environmental or group. Individual elements that a respective member must possess consist of special skills or talent; include the skills possessed by the individual members, confidence in being a productive team member and behavioral character.…
Personally, I believe that there can be many characteristics to effective teams but there are a few main characteristics that always need to be present. It takes active/good communication (i.e. speaking & listening), diversity (i.e. skill, gender, personalities, perspectives, cultures), understanding (i.e. different perspectives, different cultures, differences in personalities, etc.), goals (i.e. team performance, personal), and trust. Every team will be different and the goals and purpose for those teams will be different as well. Therefore, there will always be different characteristics needed for each type of team but I believe that these teams are all formed by the same foundation, which are the characteristics listed above. With these characteristics I believe that a team can be built and goals set forth can be accomplished.…
Group work is something that has been hit or miss in the work or school world for a very long time. There is a very negative attitude about group work the second it is assigned.

In this paper, I will explore some of the pros and cons to group work, look at some possible solutions to the problems, and I will reflect on some of the past experiences I have had in group work.…
Whenever I am in a class and I hear the teacher say, “OK, everyone we are going to do some group work” I almost want to scream because I strongly dislike group work. Many schools make their students do at least one group project in order to build life skills, but because of my experiences I believe that students should not make their students participate in group activities. There are many reasons on why I am strongly against the concept of group work, one of these reason is the different personalities of group members, there can be the good ones, like the good leader, or the one who always wants to do the hardest part, but it is the idea of the bad ones, like micromanagers and the one who does not do his or her part and leaves the group…
