    During and after the group project I got a better understanding of NAVAL and a better understanding of my group. For example, Lexi is the leader of the group and Camille is the worker bee meaning that she is the one to go to for the information about the presentation. There were many high points in the group such as when we completed are power point early and when we researched the information. I had a blast working with them. A low point was when the video couldn’t load and we had to start from scratch again. Also in the beginning when we couldn’t decide on a name or a movie.…

    My experience has been interesting, positive, and at the same time rewarding. My very first experience with working in group was couple of years ago during a final year project, in my country of birth. The project was in community medicine, and involved repeated trip to a rural community by my group to access their health status, and needs. We had many challenges, but overcame them all as a group. I learnt the act of collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making by consensus building, and most importantly; comradeship. I’ve also had a couple of group projects since I became a student of USF and the experiences hasn’t been different but enlightening. I had the opportunity of working with people of diverse socio-cultural…

    I had never received education in the united states so it was kind scaring for me to attend the on line class with Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) Group Project. I was worried about I may not attend the group well and involve others into trouble. I am surprised that I did good in the group. It is a good experience to work with others who have different culture and I did learn something new from the CLC group project. The problem was we had schedule and it was hard to contact people right away and everyone had their own opinions and points so communication was a very important element to deal with the project.…

    The Master of Strategic Leadership program has provided me a wealth of invaluable knowledge that can be effectively implemented in any organization to produce positive change. I have already utilized this knowledge to implement successful changes within my own agency that has produced positive outcomes. This program has taught me how to improve upon my own leadership skills by developing the right perspective to perceive situations in a different light. If we view every idea or situation through one lens, we are limiting our capabilities, therefore degrading our ability to realize different options or alternatives. Multi frame expands our perception, therefore providing unlimited possibilities in analyzing a situation, (Smith, 2011). I…

    As humans, it is within our inborn nature to interact and cooperate with others. This is due to the fact that no one individual is perfect and capable in all ways. We are able to complement each other’s inadequacy through working as a group, hence this is why collective efforts often made things easier as compared to individual effort. While working in groups, we will experience changes in group dynamics and processes. The differences in group dynamics and processes is what made each group unique. Through this group project of producing an ad to persuade school leavers that have completed their pre-university studies to enroll for the Bachelor of Psychology at HELP University, I was able to have a better understanding…

    I have discovered the areas that I have been successful in as well as the many areas that I will need to make improvements. For example, prior to this class I had no knowledge of the X and Y theories. Now I realize that I operated with the mindset of a theory X manager and had the same thought process about all employees collectively, which in return made me less effective and resulted in not reaching maximum production. I currently will apply this knowledge to communicate more effectively with my current managers and to better recognize what theory they most resemble and why they interact with me on the level that they do. This class will also assist me greatly in my future goals to own a business in which I possibly will have to manage multiple people in different departments. I now realize how important it is to manage people on an individual basis and not as whole because different individuals need different levels of motivation and supervision. In my opinion, relying more heavily on one theory and not the other has the potential to breed poor management because of this knowledge my new goal is to find the perfect balance between the two…

    Whether you are a part of a social group or on a group project for school or work everyone has the want and need to be included, when group members don’t feel like they have fully been accepted in to the group they can become withdrawn and anti-social which would lead them to not be a contributing part of the team. Having a diverse group of people on a team can help a team more effectively and efficiently reach their common goal. If everyone on the team had the exact same life experiences, was the same age and the same culture they more than likely would have the same general way to approach the group’s common goal. Having diversity on the team can help generate more ideas because everyone’s life experiences and cultural differences have helped form the way they think and the way that they solve problems. Roles, needs and diversity affect a group’s teamwork immensely because if members aren’t performing their specific goal and only focusing on a self-centered role the groups work will either multiply for the other members of the group or the group’s common goal might not be met. We as humans all have basic needs, the need to be included, the need to be liked by others and for…

    It was a very good experience for me. I learned that every member of a group has a very important role to play in the success of the project. Maintaining good focus, and same level of attention is another important factor in small group projects that can affect the outcome of the work. We analyzed problems, learned about the negative and positive impact, set solution criteria and standards, and then only decisions were made. Member’s participations are another key to success in small projects like…
