The clarity and effectiveness of purpose and the use of time was very well used in this meeting. The purpose of this meeting was very clear to both this writer and seemed to be to all group members. Group members respected that the purpose was to have meetings that were effective enough to help themselves stay sober. The group leader was very strict on keeping the group on task and did not allow much time for the group members to get off topic. The group discussions truly allowed group members to understand the purpose in being in attendance at each meeting. The time allotted for the meeting was perfect. The hour long session left just enough time for each portion of the meeting to be completed, but did not leave extra time where the group leader struggled to come up with discussion or activities for the group members to participate in. The use of time was very effective and clear to both the group leaders and group members.
X. Assessment of the stage of the group’s development. (Use Garland, Jones, Kolodny’s Five Stage Model of Group Development). Cite examples to support your assessment.
The group was at the level identified as differentiation by the Garland, Jones, and
Kolondy model. Differentiation is defined as the following by Zastrow (2015): During the fourth stage, differentiation, members are freer to experiment with new and alternative behavior patterns because they recognize individual rights and needs, and they communicate more effectively. Leadership
The forming and orientation stage of the group is the initial step of getting the group started. Gladding (2012) outlines seven steps that make up the forming stage of group development. First, one must develop a basis for the group.
This meeting was broken up into two different sections. First part was story telling. A guy told personal stories of his struggles with alcohol use and abuse from his past in addition to his struggles to remain sober. This part took about 30 minutes. The second part was open dialogue which took about an hour. Nobody was instructing us to do this or that in this section. It was a dialogue which communicating, saying, sitting there, and listening to somebody telling their personal stories. It allowed everyone to talk about their struggles, as well as encourage one another. Before each person started telling his or her stories, that person had to announce his/her name and that his/her were an alcoholic or addict. After the person finished
Furthermore, my visit to the open Alcoholic anonymous group was very informed and it provided me an understanding and knowledge on this specific population. It provided me an opportunity to understand the process of a group meeting. The impression I had when I left was that even though these people were affected by alcoholic, they are hopefully and determined to overcome this challenge in their life.

The Performing stage was the last stage of Bruce Tuckman's four stages of group development until the 70's when Tuckman felt the importance to create an additional fifth stage to his model the "adjourning" which became the last stage. A group (shift) reaches the performing when all it members solves the conflict in the Norming stage therefore had establish the norms of the group and the members are operate as one. Thus, the group identity is finalized, in our experience it was a unique one.

I found the reading “Find Your Purpose” very interesting and something that I really can relate to. This reading also seems to be a direct correlation to the mission statement that GCU has for the university. When I was attending high school and about to graduate, I thought my purpose was to continue my education and attain my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. After struggling for a few years in college, I soon realized that maybe this was not for me and I was, as the reading says, “spinning my wheels”. I then decided to join the U.S. Army and believe that I found my purpose in life. As I begin to transition into the next chapter in my life, retiring after 26 years serving my country, I believe that my purpose is to assist young
Bruce W Tuckman (1965) developed a model to describe the differing stages of team development. He gave us a way of interpreting the various stages groups pass through into making an effective team. As you can see from the illustration below, teams go
Five stage model describe the necessary stages should undertake by a group to become well-organized, which is forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning (tuckman,1977).
As a person who knows very little about this issue, I feel much more knowledgeable about immigrant family detention centers in the U.S. after reading your brief. In the beginning of the paper, I had a harder time determining the main purpose. At first I thought the focus was on improving conditions in the two detention centers in Texas. As I continued to read, the purpose became more confusing. I couldn’t tell if the purpose was to improve the conditions in Texas, improve conditions for all centers in the U.S., or close all of the centers. It became clear towards the “stakeholder matrix section” that the focus of this brief is to cultivate advocacy efforts aimed at closing these detention centers. I placed comments in areas
Part two: “Becoming a Purpose – Warren tells us that every church is driven by something. He describes seven aspects which typically is the driven force behind a church. For instance, churches are driven by tradition, personality, finances, programs, building, events, and seekers. In this section of the book we find the central aim of the author, which centered on the purpose- driven church. Warren uses Scripture to help reinforce his claim which is a clear purpose reduces frustration. A clear purpose not only defines what we do, it defines what we don’t do. Furthermore, a clear purpose allows concentration, a clear purpose attracts cooperation, and a clear purpose assists evolution. (88-93) Warren maps out the five purposes of a New Testament Church. First, worship – “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only” (Matt. 4:10). Second, ministry – The church is to “… equip the saints for the work of ministry” (Eph. 4:12 NRSV). Third, evangelism – “As you are going make disciples” (Matt. 28:19-20).
I believe that words can have more than one meaning. ‘Purpose’ can mean so many different things to different individuals, whether it is your personal way of defining it or the many definitions that you find when you look the word up. Words come from somewhere, its origin, finding out where it is from and the definition that helps you understand it best can give you a deeper understanding and it could expand your learning. ‘Purpose’ is the focus and the definition behind the word so that it better helps you understand it and the way you will want to use the word throughout your life.
The organization has five stages of group development. In the forming stage they have identified that there is a
Successful is defined as accomplishing an aim or purpose; having achieved popularity, profit, or distinction. This is a definition that Amara carried with her since she was eleven years old. That was the year that she learned life lessons that were taught way too early. She can still hear her mom saying to her, “Amara you are the most beautiful girl in the world. You’re very smart too. You can have anything you want in this world if you use both of those things to your advantage. Be successful.”
I still remember the day when my uncle mentioned about a drastic fall in the customer base of his corporate library solution and as a result, they collected feedback from customers and developed a more user-friendly interface for Kwench library solution*. As a result, more people started using the application. Currently, the company has more than 150 corporate clients and has been mentioned in Forbes India magazine as one of the emerging startups. It was at this point I realized how information technology and data analysis could be used to solve real-time business problems. This exposure had created a lasting impact on me. I learned that data analysis plays a pivotal role in making informed business decisions, solve complex
