Amelia's Work Group Analysis

I believe our group work is going well. We haven’t had many meetings concerning bringing all the work together, but people have been working had individually as noted in the annotated bibliography. One complaint is that in the agreement we said that the annotated bibliography would be completed by the Sunday before the due date, when in actuality two members did not add their work to the group until the day the assignment was due. However, this is minor in the larger scheme since it was completed and submitted on time. We have made plans to come together next week to work on the project together and how and where everyone’s contribution will be placed. Overall I don’t have much to complain about as communication and work ethic are good. I

After completing the group task of preparing a presentation on, transferring individual facilitation skills into a group work setting I will critically reflect upon my own participation. I will evaluate my self-awareness while working in the group, as well as those around me. The way that I personally dealt with any issues that arose within the group and how that affected the group dynamics. I will also briefly discuss the roles in which each member of the group took and how role allocation affected, the group dynamics and the working relationships. Finally I will evaluate my work having discussed it with my fellow group members.

In this paper I will describe and analyze my experience working in a group situation, writing a paper on the movie 12 Angry Men. I will address therapeutic communication techniques used in our group situation. I will address any conflicts that arose in our group. Utilizing Tuckman’s group process theory, I will also address the effectiveness of our group process.

What rating would you give the team out of 10 (10 being the highest level of success)? What factors do you think contributed to the level of success your team achieved when success is defined as the creation of a resource that has authority and is user-friendly and the degree to which you worked effectively as a team. Provide specific examples from your experience to illustrate these factors.

The four work groups identified in the key points from week 3 are the Veterans, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y or Millennials all work in my agency the US Army. Individuals with different values, different ideas, different ways of getting things done and different ways of communicating in the workplace have always existed. Each group has its strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences, but having this kind of age diversity in the workplace can be challenging for leaders, but also very rewarding. Veterans, tend to respect hierarchy characterized by valuing traditional relationships over time, structure, and loyalty. Baby Boomers tend to value relationships over time, challenge and accept authority, while primarily idealistic

In healthcare, one of the elements is collaboration. According to Clements, Dault and Priest, (2017), it is important to identify collaboration as being both a process that affects work group and as an outcome. Collaboration can still take place whether or not health professionals consider themselves to be part of a team. When there is no collaboration, then having an effective work group would be impossible. Another element that is needed is cooperation. An effective work group would require the members to co-operate in order to meet the shared goal. Group members would sacrifice their independence and allow their activity to be managed by either the group leader or through shared decision making. This is where commitment and trust would

This stage includes discussing, sharing information, asking questions, offering suggestions and opinions, and working out differences.” (research paper p.

There are lots of people around the U.S who who do not understand the hard struggle of people from other countries. Lots of people make stereotypes about Asian people, Latinos, and people from Arabic countries. People would normally assume that if you are asian, you speak Chinese or Japanese, or that you paint nails, or own a “Chinese food” restaurant.

Wheelan and her associates came up with a classification system referred to as Group Development Observation System (GDOS) to categorize the verbal interactions among group members. The eight Group Development Observation System categories include;

The details of organization structure are part of this experience, our struggles in firing a member, working together on details, and communicating clearly were all evident last week. I felt like we needed to fire one team member before last week. There had been no response, and I knew it was going to hurt the team effort; but I also felt like the person needed an opportunity to contribute, as well as not wanting to be the team member who expressed the idea of firing someone else. If I can go back to chapter nine, I believe groupthink caused each of us to hesitate, even when we all knew what needed to be done. The third question on the assessment dealt with the genuine belief that others can do as well as I can, and I answered mostly true. I do believe that all people are capable, and need opportunities to succeed and prove it to themselves, but question seven was also answered mostly true, which stated that I get upset when someone doesn’t do the task correctly. That is the contrast between the perfectionist in me and the delegator. I enjoy the text messages and conversations on discussion boards in the collaborative work of classes, but when it comes to a team project, I worry about someone else not being as motivated or not getting the work in on time. I don’t mean that about my team members right now, I am reflecting more on past team projects in school. It has always been a couple of us doing most of the work, so we could bail

Group work has been a cornerstone of the social work profession and requires a variety of facilitator skills and awareness of group processes. The SSLDTM Group Program for People with Difficulties in Social Situations (Socialwork1914, 2017) provides an excellent example of a psycho-educational group co-facilitated by two female social workers, Jane and Karen. After viewing the 6th session of this 8-week program, I began to understand how the concepts of group formation/development, interpersonal dynamics, and leadership styles contribute to successful group work outcomes.

I’m Christine Nguyen, and I’m writing in regards to give you a brief statement of myself, so you could get an understanding of whether I would make a considerable teammate for our project.

Teamwork can be complex and challenging given task and interpersonal issues, level of group motivation and expected performance standards. The concrete experience spoken about in this reflection piece is in reference to the effectiveness of myself as a group member and the group, working to write a report outlining the organisation and structure of Volkswagen. Dennison (2009) applies Kolb’s learning cycle (1981, 1984) which suggests that learning moves through a continuous cycle, between having an experience, and then reflecting on that action. This cycle has been developed from Lewin’s (1951) model for experiential learning. Reflection termed by Boud, Keogh and Walker (1985) ‘is a forum of response to the learner to experience’(p. 18). On reflection, the early set group dynamics was a defining factor in the experience, and how the team conducted themselves throughout the task. Meyerson, Wick and Kramer (1996) note that ‘such rapidly converging groups require methods for developing “swift trust”’ (p. 8), which can explain why initial group dynamics are so important. I took on multiple team roles, including group leader, which could be translated into the team not performing collectively on a high level, however, I could view this as a personal ineffectiveness of my leadership style.
