When people first get placed into groups they often have very anxious feelings & discomfort during the first meeting. Many times people may not know the other people in the group, and may not have a good understanding of their goals. Often when placed in a group we are not sure what everyone’s role is or what to say to whom. Many people do not work well in groups or do not want to work in groups with other people. Some group members may feel that they have a heavier work load than other members. This is why many people resist group projects. Many group projects fail when the group members are not on the same page. Some group members join a particular group for the members in the group and do not grasp the group’s goal. Some groups do not have much diversity, and the group members all have the same outlook without seeing flaws in their project. When the group members are not certain of the group’s goal the group often fails. The group will not accomplish their goal if some group members do not complete their tasks. When member join a group for social reasons and do not work toward the group’s goal they are not helping the group succeed. I feel if I remain focused, and keep the group’s goal in mind I will help the group succeed. Remove all anxiety from the first meeting and help break the ice by saying some a few things about myself. I have very strong problem solving skills that would help the group in many ways. I will keep my goals & strengths in mind when achieving the group’s overall goal. I often find myself picking up the loose ends in a group project which I feel will help if a member drops out or does not complete their tasks on time. I will work hard to complete any and all tasks I am assigned, so the group can achieve its goal. I will bring diversity to the group and be open about my skills, goals, and eagerness to complete all tasks. I won’t assume all members have the same level of commitment as me & strive to

    We are third (or fourth) year students, so you can say that everybody knows how to work in a project group. However, this doesn’t mean that everybody will act like that.

    For example, I did not mean to be the leader of the group but my strength of Command is just used to taking charge and listing demands. I have learned that when working in a group you must be very flexible and be willing to compromise your time and stuff for others. I learned that I must trust my grade in others and trust in my group that they will deal with their task with great quality. This group was probably the best group I have ever worked with. I enjoyed working with them and enjoyed doing this project. I was very satisfied with the outcome of this group and the…

    I believe this group project has provided me with valuable experience and skills. Within the group, I have always worked hard and finished my assigned work before the deadline so that I did not drag the group behind. Our group decided to alternate the leader role so that everyone had a chance to take the responsibility to manage and oversee all activities. Initially, all four members found it hard to organize meeting times as everyone had different timetables. Frustration arose when we could not meet up to divide the work because a member was absent on multiple occasions. We then came up with a solution to hold some of our meetings on Skype, a Facebook group discussion was also created to share useful information. The flexible approach allowed everyone to effectively contribute to the cases. In the future, I will continue to work hard and listen more to what everyone has to say. Furthermore, I have found that when there is conflict it helps to try and put yourself in the other person's…

    There are many things to consider when talking about working within a group. One of the major things is conflicts between the group's members. People will always have conflicts among themselves and with others; it is just a way of life. One of the conflicts that occur within a group is Lack of Leadership, someone needs to be in charge and keep everyone else pointed in the right direction. Another conflict among groups is Group Roles; everyone needs to know where they fit into the puzzle and what is expected of them. Also everyone needs to have coinciding Schedules, that way you know the work is getting done. All of theses problems add up to one of the biggest issues in a group, which is Disagreements and or Arguments.…

    It is important to make, even at a surface level, some determination about yourself and how you are likely to affect the group dynamic. Ask yourself : Do I talk a lot, or very little? Am I confident about myself and my ideas? Do I listen to others well, or am I impatient having to listen to others? Am I empathetic to others or do I care mostly about getting the task done? When others speak, am I listening to what they say, or thinking about what I am going to say? Am I quick to anger? Am I defensive or accepting when someone talks about my behavior? Do I ramble or am I a bulleted list sort of person? What makes me annoyed? What makes me feel good?…

    I have mixed feelings about group work. If I were in a familiar environment with people I know and understand their culture and language, I’ll be more relaxed and will enjoy the group activity. But in a new environment, I feel a little tense as I’m not sure if I fully understand the group members or vice versa (if they can easily understand me).…

    During the life of a project, from concept to close out, there are countless steps on numerous levels that must take place. They have both individual importance and importance as a part of the whole, every piece. One of the main processes is the management of the project team. People may be viewed as social entities, but the reality of the matter is that people are individuals first. This can complicate things when people are chosen to be part of a group as is usually the case in project management. There are certain benefits and detriments to grouping people based solely on their skills. They may or may not work well together because of personality differences or similarities. The same goes for styles, preferences, optimal methods of learning, optimal environments for working, habits, tolerances, and many other idiosyncrasies.…
