Conflict is actually more beneficial to our lives then we think because it allows us to think critically and be productive in ways we are not used to. It builds a stronger foundation in working in team dynamics and helps improve the process in working in teams. Surprisingly I felt like working together was the easy part for the most part, even though we had some challenging moments, and the difficulty was in fact actually coming up with a scenario that incorporated all of our fields. We brainstormed various scenarios and finally came up with one that involved all of the disciplines. Then each of the disciplines shared how they would handle the situation, and in fact some members of the group were surprised by the different measures they would

While I am results-oriented, open to feedback and new ideas as well as mostly confident in my own contributions and abilities, I need to work on managing conflict and confrontation. I also think that conflict resolution and compromising when opposing ideas are present is one of the most difficult parts of working in groups. The trick is to ensure that discussions are always framed in terms of constructive feedback and to ultimately benefit the good of the group. As already briefly mentioned, my past group work experience presented some communication challenges. While we were eventually able to overcome that and receive a high grade for our final project, it was a lesson learned that dissemination of information in a group setting is fundamental to maintaining a smooth

I have enjoyed this class so much and have learned a lot as well. Many ideas, concepts, techniques have stood out to me. The first thing would be how I can still apply and develop the ability to write in preschool and kindergarten students. Many of the ideas and concepts can be simplified for younger students to begin to build a good foundations for writing. Writing Power and POW-TREE are great ways to get students excited about writing. They are also great ways to teach students about how to write and to write in an effective way.

A leader has a role that can impact others to be more operative in functioning to attain a common goal and maintain effective working relationships amongst group members (Johnson & Johnson 2012). This makes leaders in groups considerably important in shaping individuals (Johnson & Johnson 2012). However, conflict arises in groups and becomes difficult to manage when a leader and the followers lack the skills to manage conflict as a team (Johnson & Johnson 2012). Leadership and conflict resolution skills must exists between leaders and followers in order to manage conflict (Johnson & Johnson 2012). Also, it is possible for followers to teach leaders how to lead and resolve problems since followers can play an active role in building relationships amongst group members (Howell & Shamir cited in Johnson & Johnson 2012). Since followers and leaders both have significant roles in accomplishing the group goals, they both have a role to manage conflict effectively as a group (Johnson & Johnson 2012). This essay will discuss how leaders have an important role in managing conflict and likewise with followers having important roles in managing conflict. Conflicts, the various types of conflicts that happen in groups and the reasons behind the conflicts will be mentioned followed by approaches that can be taken to help manage struggles within groups. The methods can be used by leaders and followers in order to manage

Moreover, this course assisted me in learning how to create a team charter in which it has showed me my strength and weakness. A Team Charter helps “team members recognize their complementary skills, their common purpose, common goals, and mutual accountability” (Byrd & Luthy, 2010, p. 14). It made me understand how to be prepared for any arising conflicts and how to manage it. ”Conflict management works best when the parties involved in a disagreement are equipped to managing it themselves” (Weiss & Hughes, 2005). I also learnt the importance of feedback and feed forward. "Feedforward helps people envision and focus on a positive future, not a failed past" (Goldsmith, 2002). How it puts the employees in a check list in order to spot where they are wrong and perform better. “Effective feedback helps the coachee see the gap between intended performance and actual performance" (Payne, V. 2007). The requirements needed to excel and improve in their workforce. ”Employees can provide useful input on the effective of procedures

Conflict between team members will happen in the workplace because the fact that there will have an environment where decisions are made and personality clashes will occur. This doesn’t mean you have an unproductive workforce, it means you will have to be able to catch the problem early and know what to do with each individual case. People are going to disagree because they have different view points, different backgrounds and a different thought process, maybe even a different agenda for that project. People disagree for a number of reasons (De Bono, 1985). College graduates will be put into positions of uncertainty due to the lack of work history. This will in turn cause conflict, not knowing

After the members in the group know each other, they need to deal with interpersonal relationship. Conflict is a normal, inevitable element of relationships. One of the best ways to improve a relationship is to understand conflict. According to the information above, I think the conflict is the connect between orientation phase with high phases. The conflict will not prevent the group from going forward with their goals. When they understand conflict, they will go to high lever

It is hard and impossible to eliminate conflicts when processing a team project. In the discussion problem 2, it tells us to solve a problem of developing experts from different places to into a real and complete team. People from different backgrounds and diverse places always have different values, perceptions, expectations, needs and resources. Also, different people must have various personalities.
