ASSIGNMENT TASK 1 Chirag Hirpara (14095200B) 1. Describe two situations where working in groups would be a) An appropriate way of working b) An inappropriate way of working a) Appropriate situations for group work Example Explanation Situation 1 The size of the group (if class assignment) In this situation, work can be divided and done very effectively. They can have different ideas and more points to solve some difficult problems and come up with different kind of solutions. Situation 2 The skills and knowledge of the group (if working as team in an organization) In this situation, if one and all members of group have very good skills and knowledge then work can be made easy and done very different way which make whole group prominent. The plus point is that task can be done very effectively and represented very well. b) Inappropriate situations for group work Example Explanation Situation 1 The size of the group In this situation, as persons are more at the same time different ideas come which is not matched each other or some may not agree and they have dispute between them which affect to whole group and this kind of group can`t success. Situation 2 The skills and knowledge of the group In this situation, it is not necessary for every group that they are having knowledgeable and skilled persons. Because of this, all members rely on each other and start to give excuse that they don`t know how to do it. In this kind of group work can`t be done and they don`t have
Learning how to work effectively in a group situation is key to success in many professions as well as in social situations. Groups vary from each other based on the individuals that make up each group, all of us belong to various groups at one time or another. The roles that we fulfill vary from group to
In my opinion, group work is a type of cooperative learning that helps people to accomplish a certain task in a faster and more effective manner. Team working also helps to achieve the tasks that are impossible to finish by one individual. However, if people in a group have a lot of conflicts, group work will not be able to achieve as much as we expected. There are many reasons which lead to dissatisfaction in group work such as individualism as well as conflicts in opinion and time.
suggests new ideas to solve group problem or new ways for the group to organize the task
Since much of our time is spend in groups, it is helpful to work in groups because it will give an opportunity to improve their human functioning. Group work helps to develop individual skills in communication, relationship building and asserting oneself
First, learning to work, as a team, can be difficult if the person you’re working with always has to have the right answer or nobody wants to agree on something. It takes everyone in the group or on the team to work together to be successful in whatever it is they are trying to accomplish. The term
Group member cohesiveness was absent from the group meeting for several reasons, but the primary reasons were due to the fact that the group members did not have a common description of value or structure to the discussion. Each member viewed their own area of involvement within the organization as being more valuable than any other area, and it was this exclusion of other valuable traits that lead the group to begin to clash in such a
In order to enact this model and to make it effective there are certain factors that need to be considered. Groups need to exert enough joint effort in order to accomplish tasks at acceptable levels of performance. Every member of the group has to offer the adequate skills and knowledge regarding the subject at hand. Also, consideration to cultural and organizational setting have to be taken into consideration (Harrison, 2005).
Realizing that a group can become a high performance team is important. Accomplishing this goal is invaluable, advantageous and profitable. Once able to operate from a group to the high performing team is a great step into preparation into the big business world. Leaders and members must also realize not only how to accomplish this but that some problems will and can arise from different demographic characteristics and cultural diversity. That is if one is in such a group, which the probability would be quite high.
When doing so the other group members were active listener, by using their whole body verbally and nonverbal. Like facing the speaker and giving eye contact and try to avoided interruption. The group also acknowledges the thoughts of the speaker by giving constructive feed back. Due to the effectiveness of the group communication, we were able to build trust, respect and understand the issues and make decision for effective change. We illustrate this by coming together as a group one again to accomplish the goal we initially wanted to accomplish. Since the first organization that we had chosen was incorrect, so we had to make the necessary changes to accomplish our goals. The other effective feature is the purpose of the group. Kozier et al (2010) stated that the effective group purpose is when “goal, task, and outcomes are clarified. Understanding and modified so that members of the group can commit themselves to purposes through cooperation” (p.401). For instance, each individual was assign a task and knew what was to be accomplished. As group we all decided to meet at suitable day and time which was beneficial to all team members, because we could commit to the group and focus on what needed to be achieved.
At one point or another, everyone has been placed in a group of people and assigned a task that needed to be accomplished. Many of these groups are simply that, a group. The task that many fail to see as the number one objective of the group is to foster a teamwork by actually transforming the group to a cohesive team. The idea sounds fairly simple and transparent, "If everyone works together, we have a team!" This could not be farther from the truth. Teamwork is not merely the ability to work together to get from point A to B. The Overhead Reduction Task Force is a case that exhibits this strong need to build a team in order to be the most effective in achieving goals. The group that has been
By making actions and decisions together (regardless of their position). By working in a group chances of mistake is very less. By spending too much hours with each group member on the discussion about an work than we get very effective results which increase the productivity of our work.
This about how to work with groups and other team members, most of the time it is hard to do but with our jobs nowadays we have to do what we have to do. I like working with others for the most part, especially when they are motivated in getting the job done in a timely manner. Then we have some that just don’t want to help but want everybody else to do their work for them.
One of the big advantages of groups is when they are used to concentrate on issues that need more time and effort then can be handle in a large general meeting. For example in business and governments, committees of a few people will be formed that focus on one topic, and then report back to the larger group. This smaller committee has the advantage to function somewhat independently from the larger group as the smaller group can meet extra hours and can focus only on a specific problem.
Working with group is important for any business because partnership, communication and time administration skill can be gained by group work (Davenport & Prusak, 1998). Group work helps to solve the problem and meet the goal easily. In different business situations such as real world problem, mismanagement and work with new employee, I participated simultaneously. As a group member I did the things listed below:
For the team to work effectively in an organization group norms are necessary. Group norms help in setting the team in a proper direction in achieving the common goal of the organization. A team can perform in an efficient manner only when the team members have faith in each other’s work. When employees trust each other and create group norms, than they would be able to work strategically and perform
