This course has completely different approaches that any other courses I have taken so far. When I signed up for the course, I did not expect to have this load of work.

I have learned many different skills that I am going to need when working in groups or with different background people. I learned how to identify different types of people. In true colors, there different ways of how to deal with people based on their true colors.

Moreover, I learned what they cause if they exist in a team. More importantly, I learned how to overcome them when they exist. The five dysfunctions are the main issues that a team must be aware of. They can destroy any team success. The first dysfunction is an absence of trust between members of a team. It is very important to have trust established among team members in order to success. Absence of trust leads to the second dysfunction which is fear of conflict. Fear of conflict makes team discussion boring. It is like no one wants to challenge others ideas.

The forth dysfunction (avoidance of accountability) is caused when lack of commitment occurs within a team. Finally, inattention to results is the fifth dysfunction that occurs when team members thinks individually. This course has taught these five
