When people are brought together to solve problems in groups, they bring different information, opinions and perspectives. People who are different from one another in race, gender and other dimensions bring unique information and experiences to bear on the task at hand. An Asian and a black engineer might have perspectives as different from one another as an engineer and a physicist—and that is a good thing…
This is evident when I deal with people as I consider myself to be open to differences in characters, beliefs, and opinions. When I’m working with others, I value when people have different perspectives and approaches to problems that I wouldn’t be able to think of because diversity in thinking facilitates problem solving and goal attaining. While I am more of a practical thinker who focuses on maintaining order and staying objectively informed, I appreciate when teammates or coworkers can deliver a more ingenious or inventive addition to the process. Inclusivity also proves essential in maintaining productivity and engagement. If everyone is made feel like they are part of the process and that their participation has an impact on the progress, participation and productivity will be maintained, if not…

As a collaborator, my strengths were that I made sure that everything got done on time and that it was done right. My weaknesses were that I didn’t really talk to my group as much as I should have and I kind of didn’t put responsibility on anyone but myself. Group work requires talking to others, otherwise you’ll just pull all of the weight and the other group members will get a free ride. Honestly, I feel comfortable controlling the whole process of group work and have people just follow what I say so I know that things are getting done right. This is probably not good, but I don’t feel like I can trust groups because a lot of the time people don’t do what they’re supposed to.…
Lacking the diversity, the group may suffer the group think, since no one can be aware of the absence of different…

Collaboration as we know is the process of working together with an individual or group in order to accomplish or achieve a task successfully. Collaboration depends largely on the ability to join, to commit yourself to working with others, listening to what others are saying and encouraging others to state their opinion.

But employers need to think carefully about what to communicate. Show respect for your employees by not covering up bad news or giving it a positive spin, as most people will be able to see straight through it. Employees will not be able to help their company to embrace change if they are not made aware of the situation, or the chosen course of action. A manager must be able to tell their employees what is expected of them, sympathise with their situation, and publicly recognise individual and team performances. Communicate as much as possible about as much as possible.…
