Work Group Analysis

A useful theory to explain our processes and development as a group is Tuckman’s theory of group working which explains the stages that a group will progress through in order to achieve an objective, including the Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning stages (Mindtools, 2016). The forming stage was pre-established for our group because we had been allocated together prior to the task and we had already managed to build relationships with one another. It was at the storming stage we began to establish our roles within the group and allocate tasks for

The forming stage is characterized by dependency, and need for acceptance and guidance. In this stage the "meet and greet" is done. During the meet and greet each member gathers information that will determine the strength of potential relationships amongst group members, as well as establish group hierarchy. Generally, in this stage the leader of group is selected. The group leader has a tendency to be someone that is viewed as stable and

Collaboration Is to help people in each other's needs. The individual cannot bear all the burdens of this life alone. Many of us hate cooperation and helping others. Especially in school when we have a project and the teacher asks us to help and get into group, some of us would say I will do it alone or I would prefer to withdraw and do the whole project alone.

What rating would you give the team out of 10 (10 being the highest level of success)? What factors do you think contributed to the level of success your team achieved when success is defined as the creation of a resource that has authority and is user-friendly and the degree to which you worked effectively as a team. Provide specific examples from your experience to illustrate these factors.

The group the facilitator will be observing is an anger management group that is held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Assurance of Hope Institute, Inc. The group consist of twelve men between the ages of twenty-five to forty-five. The group contains ten African American men and two Caucasian men. The group has been meeting three times a week for four months. The group is an open group that is available to all young adult men particularly those suffering from mental health illness. The clients whom attend the group have been either court mandated because of a violent encounter. The group discusses triggers that make one anger, ways to manage your anger, decrease overall intensity and frequency of angry feelings, increase ability to recognize and appropriately express feelings as they occur, identify situations, thoughts, feelings, that trigger anger, angry verbal and/ or behavioral actions and the targets of those actions. The facilitators of the group have explored family background and history to

Using Tuckman’s (1965) model of group development, our first session can be considered as our “forming stage.” This was on the basis that it involved introducing ourselves to one another and to quote Price (2001): “we created and negotiated an

There are lots of people around the U.S who who do not understand the hard struggle of people from other countries. Lots of people make stereotypes about Asian people, Latinos, and people from Arabic countries. People would normally assume that if you are asian, you speak Chinese or Japanese, or that you paint nails, or own a “Chinese food” restaurant.

Throughout life there are many instances in which an individual has to work in a group to complete a task/project. The importance of group work is to have teamwork with each member of the group. Humans are driven to connect with each other and by working as a group ideas become much more enriched and the ideas or thoughts that each person ‘brings to the table’ each individual is able to add onto that idea or it can trigger one to think of something completely different.

Working in a group was a great way to get to know my classmates. Despite our differences, we worked together and completed the assignment. I like working in a group, but sometimes I would rather do the assignment on my own. Group work has its good and bad effects.

Group work and collaboration is an opportunity for every nurse to expand their resources and make impacts on a large scale in their community. This final project of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) has provided the opportunity to collaborate with individuals, groups and public health organizations to address a need in the community. The following will include an assessment of the group process utilizing the four stages of forming, storming, norming and performing as identified by Connery and Vohs (2006). An assessment of the collaboration with the Medical Reserve Corp and the Pierce County Health Department will also be evaluated. My personal roles and contributions will be discussed along with my perception of the group and partnerships

Teamwork and collaboration definitely go hand in hand in the field of nursing. I believe that successful collaboration requires relationships that are respectful and mutual when making joint decisions about patient centered care and other disciplines. This week, me and another student were partnered together to embark on our journey of community health at the Keene Senior Center. Our assigned task was to interview two or more people with a set of questions in order to get a better sense of what this community setting was all about. In order to do this, we had to have a good sense of teamwork in order to smoothly feed off each other during the interview. Before going in and introducing ourselves, we decided to collaborate and decide how to carry

GROUP COLLABORATION THESIS Most everyone knows how to work in a team but, not everyone comes from the same background or holds the same set of moral and ethical standards. Each person in a group has his or her own ideas about everything. When working in a group it seems that it is easy for a person to get lost in his or hers own task and forget about the group aspect of the project at hand. The article "Help Your Team Agree on how they'll Collaborate" gives the reader a solution to the group issue. The tool or advice that she gives is let the group agree on what the rules of conduct should be to help blend the group, thus making a smoother operating group with less conflict. The rules of conduct help the group know

I have been in many group project where the group decides based on the ideas that not always the best because not everyone says their idea. When I am in a group project I try to ask everyone’s opinion because someone could have a brilliant idea or talent to make the project awesome. I see where going though and yeah group projects is also the main area I have seen groupthink happen.

Assessing complex text in this summer’s English 300 has effectively been achieved with our in-class work groups. We were assigned random small groups consisting of 4 to 5 people to discuss our homework readings and critical thinking answers assigned the previous class. Assigned to these small groups, we are subjected to verbal communication with fellow group members. During small group discussions, we are presented with different opinions, interpretation, and understandings of the text from our readings from each individual group member. Once the material was analyzed and discussed, we gathered for an open discussion in a class circle that required participation of each individual. Having the opportunity to speak openly and expresses individual

An ongoing evaluation of meetings and their effectiveness is required for sustaining a healthy team group (Geimera et al., 2015). The mission was to inject a positive meeting change in effort to improve the effectiveness of meetings using techniques and strategies learned in our MGT 345 course. The targeted group for the intervention was a group which meets on a monthly basis, a group of similarly functioning roles however, within different organizations. The group has met several times so there was a decent understanding of the group meetings and an established comfort level with the members. The group is a bit of a users’ group in nature, members have some overlapping challenges and common interests. This group fit many of the factors for a suitable group to apply some potential intervention strategies to our meetings.
