The Developments And Learning I Experienced During Buxton Residential

Every member of the group has ownership over work being completed, therefore feeling empowered to then take ownership through their personal and social lives (Ratts, Anthony & Santos 2001).

One particular experience demonstrates my ability to work in a team environment. A major assessment task for my post-graduate unit on intelligence practices was to develop a well-researched, quality intelligence brief, similar to what would be given in a real-world intelligence agency. Assigned into self-managed groups of ten people, we were to operate independently. In this environment, I developed and maintained an effective working relationship between myself and the other group members.

One of the apparent common themes from the many responses I received is that I take responsibility in a leader role. The leadership role defined by the responses would mean taking charge of different situations. When I think of my close group of friends, it is

As an individual who works in a company, I have always been a part of a group and still am. However, there are traits in me which has been outlined in this discussion, both on the negative side and on the positive side. In the past, I have taken on roles which were helpful, but sometimes, they were not helpful. On the positive side, I have taken on the role of an:

This essay will present a brief analysis of how to achieve leadership effectiveness in a team based on Action-Centred Leadership Model (Adair, 1973). The analysis will be illustrated according to his famous three circle diagram. Firstly, this essay will make an analysis based on integration of three elements (Task, Team&Individual) by providing two examples (positive and negative) from Headly Park Training Weekend. Subsequently it will conclude the leadership effectiveness and discuss the possible ways for a team leader to achieve an effective leadership in order to improve the effectiveness on a team based working environment in an organisation.

In this essay, I equip with analytical views of self-development of my experiences as a part of professional and Academic skills support (PASS) module. It helped to apply theoretical knowledge for the outdoor activities in the Buxton Residential Trip starting from the team formations and end up with the poster presentation and other group activities which are essential for building up of self-confidence and behavioral intelligence. My essay aims on Leadership, Teamwork and self-management and effective communication skills and concludes focussing on key areas with appropriate references provided.

On the other hand, after learning about the model and discuss about the flaws of the team, the theory of Action-Centers leadership framework was put into action and it resulted in a satisfied way in the coincident on Saturday morning. The team was assign to do 3 different tasks which is consisting of the tower building, doing puzzle in the local village and betting the height of the tower of competitors in very limited time. In this assignment, there was no explicit that who is a leader, but we manage to share role of leaders in each given task. According to theory of John Adair, the task has to be divided, make plan, allocate work and the team can manage to follow guideline given by model. The brief was reading carefully and there is an attempt to control quality of work and check performance against plan by making sure that we have time management and follow the plan. Each task was assigned to each of the member who seen to have ability in doing so. For example, member A and B think they are good at doing puzzle, they volunteered to do. This can also be relate to individual that the team can identify individual abilities and natural styles and respect others as individual. ‘A good match between the attributes of members and their responsibilities in the team will strongly affect team’s performance. One mark of winning teams was the way in which

There are many tasks, skills, and actions involved in the middle phase of group work. The leader must assist the group in making progress on individual and group goals, attend to group dynamics, assist members with connecting with resources, use the best practical techniques, implement the appropriate group approaches, complete record-keeping, and access and use supervision. The leader will assist the members in making progress by reinforcing connections, offering problematic ideas and activities, assess progress, identifying difficulties and obstacles, attending to special needs of an individual, engaging members in problem solving, summarizing group sessions, planning for the next steps, and re-contracting with members as needed. The

Levin (2005) suggests that the idea of a team is to share the same objectives. This may not always be the case if team members have never met before and are not fully clear of the task set. This can lead to confusion between members and may mean that some team members are unwilling to be told by their peers what to do. This is an example on ineffective team work.

Some ways that I will “show up” in group work differently in the future is by being more engaged with stating my opinions and also being the one that creates or submits the assignments. I have noticed that whenever I state my opinion it is valued and that maybe someone else thought about it too. I have seen that even if I may be wrong about my opinion, it can clarify an issue for others as well. Also, being the one who creates or submits the assignment may not seem like that much extra work, but those people help others start their work and understand it, or catch things while they are submitting the assignment. They might see things outside from the other group members, since they are beginning their work early or quickly glancing at the end result. These initiative tasks are some changes I can make or apply to help me continue to grow in my leadership by adding another opinion to the group, but also seeing all the opinions as a whole.

This chapter includes conclusions, summary of results, and action plan/recommendations. In the final section of this chapter the researcher will provide prescriptive suggestions and recommendations for future research.

Group member roles can be described as an individual group member that exhibits a unique set of skills or behavior patterns that service specific function within that group and that member has assumed that role (p.52). For example, different group member roles can be a generator for enthusiasm then one that promotes good teamwork and another individual plays the role of a harmonizer by reconciling any disagreements and reducing tension intercom that nervous group members. Each different role serves as a valuable function. Group member roles do not only function in a workplace setting. Engleberg and Wynn state that “most people join groups because they satisfy a specific need for example some people join volunteer fire department's or participate in neighborhood watch programs to safeguard their community.” Also stating that college students join clubs and societies to be with friends or make new ones.

* Team Work: Believe in team strength and work as a team to achieve best.

Proper leadership plays a vital role for the development of any kind of organizations. In this essay I will be talking about my strong points of leadership characteristics and they are communication skills, inspirational skills and honesty. To support my argument I have provided academic supports which are relevant to the necessary skills of communication, motivation as well as honesty. To reduce the misunderstanding is crucial of communication skills. Staying beside the followers in tough situations helps to motivate the followers. Again, a leader could be honest by giving true missions and visions of what the job needs to be accomplished. Then, in the essay I will talk about how as a wise leader I will act to maintain proper communication as well as to motivate my followers. At the end, I have identified my weaknesses which are self confidence, emotional intelligence and negotiations. I have made a future development plan to overcome those shortcomings. Therefore, overall I could be a successful leader in the future.
