The members started to brain storm individually when lecturer gave us 5 minutes. We were not allowed to discuss among the members before starting the game activity. As soon as sir set the time, we started to discuss on how to build the tallest tower. The competition was with other 6 groups. The team came up with time division. The group identified the goal to build the tallest tower

The time that we was given in the group was limited with only thirty minutes to build the tallest tower. All the member managed the time carrying out different activities such as rolling the paper, stabling the paper, building and passing the materials in constructing the tower which helped in completing the tower before the given time.
4. What do you feel could have been improved in your group process in order to achieve an even better end result?
To build the tallest paper tower with limited equipments and time is simpler but actually pretty hard because it forces people to collaborate very quickly. To have some improvement in team work process, the entire group member should know how to express their perception openly. The most important in the team work is through existence of group coordinator who should take a task dynamically and responsively. To make team process effective and efficient, following plan should have handled properly to do the things differently in future:
Encourage team members to share their ideas
Every member should encourage co-members to share their views and information openly. The facilitator should highlight on each member’s ideas and let them demonstrate how all of their ideas will help in achieving the
Working as a team brings various advantages to the realization of work objectives. Teamwork ensures a maximum involvement of everyone in the team, thereby ensuring all participants to share their strengths and expertise, especially through the distribution of responsibilities among group members. In handling tasks, information is shared while each person can learn from each other. In the essence of productivity, group work increases the likelihood of high level of job performance and effectiveness. When the team is well managed, comparing to a person working by himself/herself, team would be able to come up with more solutions to problem at
To close the gap between actual and desired performance, decisions need to be made. Decision making involves making a selection from among alternative courses of action. Implementation and evaluation of the implementation provide feedback into the next cycle of group decision making.
Every participant should be clear about expectations and intentions of the group and about what is expected from her/him.
They will create a bullet point list of things that they have to do as a team in order to complete the project.
Having decided this, the next part of the process is, based on what the managers
Group members must build mutual respect for and trust and confidence in one another, so that “feel free to express opinions, test ideas, and ask for, or offer help when it is needed” (Smith, 1983).
The yellow group members come from different states and have different work schedule. However, these challenges do not beat us because the high technological and electronic devices connect us. All the members participate the assignment as optimal team players. Denise assist to interview the community health provider. Other team numbers collected information, set up interview
A. Identify at least two points in the process where your issue seemed to “work.”
This group is strengthening their cohesion and mutual aid, they have overcome critical incidents in the past, F2 got upset in the first meeting, a member broke confidentiality, M1 fell asleep at one point, another member acted as a gate keeper
Give feedback to each other on your response, in your group discussion and then provide individual written responses, in your own words, to each of the following questions.
Group members should be encouraged to share their ideas and comments, and teach each other to do well.
4. Share your thoughts or concerns with the group rather than engaging in private conversations in the sessions which can be distracting.
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.
My feelings about the group process was a little mix at first but, at the end I felt like we actually brought it together. Beginning of the group member were all over the place and had no direction, when we were able to take a breather in just think ideas started to flow. I felt like that took the communicator to make it happen. By reinsuring the other group members that everything will go smoothly if we just don’t overthink everything.
