Self-Analysis
The sole purpose of taking this class, was to get an easy “A”. I have been involved in and around “group” work my entire life. From playing sports for twenty years to becoming a manager of a company. I believed, I could relate to the subject matter and excel in the class. Nothing was further from the truth. With all my so-called experience with working in groups, nothing has helped me grow more as a person than this class. As with anyone, who believes they have arrived in some sort of way, there is always more to be learned. This class, has taught me a lot about myself and how I want to communicate with future team members. Through a self-analysis of my efforts during the semester I have concluded that, my personal communication …show more content…
This was my favorite part about being in this class. As with most groups they can be dysfunctional at times and there can also be a little bit of a power struggle. I personally, hate confrontations and for that reason, I tend to go with the flow. I have always been of the mind set to let other bicker about what is going on and just do my part. It has never been my thing to want to take charge and lead. Which has always been weird because, I usually find myself being one of the leaders. I have been told since I was young that I was a leader, but I never wanted to let anybody to do anything or hold people accountable. Of the many things that I have learned from this class is, I can still be myself and lead. I have also learned that being a leader doesn’t have to mean you are the one telling everyone what to do and how to do it, but that you just must be the most consistent member of the group. I’ll be honest not the hardest thing to do with our group. It wasn’t long before I found myself as the “leader” and it was because I was the most consistent. The part of this process that was the most exciting for me was the fact this group made me lead. Not because they had asked, but because I was consistent and I understood what we needed to do. It was awesome to step back after we were done and see how for the first time, I tried to embrace being the leader. With being the leader of the group I quickly found out the saying “your biggest strengths can be your biggest weakness” to be true. I found myself at the end of the semester not caring about the members that didn’t show up or hadn’t put in their fair share of work. As a leader, I learned to be a leader, you must do your part to pull the group along, but you also must remain a member of the group. I felt, this was my biggest weakness to the group. I found myself not reaching out to those who didn’t show up or do what needed to be done as
