BEHAVIOUR AWARENESS PAPER
Comparing my very first team meeting with my group to the latest one I had, I believe that my team has improved with each passing meeting. I did not know anyone in the group that I was going to be working with. However, in the first team meeting in the classroom when we had to introduce ourselves and set ground rules, I made several halo effect decisions when I met them. Decisions made during halo effect are those that you make based on the first impression that you have when you first meet a person. I assumed that Christopher would want to be in-charge of the group, which is a good thing. I assumed Moritz would be shy and not make many suggestions during team meetings. I also assumed that Mark would be the student that is unsure of whether his ideas will be of significance or not. My assumptions about Nicole were that she would disagree with most of the member’s opinions.
The forming stage of a team is the first stage of development, when members don’t know each other and members form halo effects perceptions. During this stage in my team, I was uncertain about my team’s performance. However, after we introduced ourselves and by the time we had our second meeting, my knowledge about my team members was completely different from my first impression that I had about them. I was relieved because my team turned out to be better than I thought. Thanks to the ground rules and milestones that we set in the first meeting, our team’s effectiveness has increased substantially. Therefore, I would give my team an effectiveness rating of: 7 out of 10.
The Four C’s of Group Effectiveness
1. Commitment via involvement: All members of a team are equally responsible for achieving the goals of the project. They contribute to their maximum capability by being actively involved in the team, making valuable suggestions, and providing contrary ideas to the ones they disagree with.
