This is similar to what I’ve been learning in my leadership class that it was best for us group of guys to understand one another to help each other and be on the same path to success. Furthermore, was the energy bus book I read in that class that also helped my understand what the true meaning of the presence of other people that wants…
How do I avoid gossip, and different perspectives? How do I get my group to cooperate on group assignments? As said in the lyrics, as time goes by, you get better and better at navigating obstacles. I’ve been told many…
1. How did you become interested in the Resident Assistant Job? I first heard of this position while working with AmeriCorps National Civilian Corps. Many of the Team Leaders had previously been RA’s prior to their current leadership position.…
In high school, we were constantly being told that we could not work in groups because we would get too loud. In university group work was encouraged so that our professors wouldn't have to do as much marking. During my observations at my CSL there was a lot of group work. Comparing when the students were working on group work to their individual work, the results were polar opposites. The tasks for students was to write down what they knew about 5 sided figures.…
Three important skills that are needed when working in groups are cooperation, and leadership. When I am around a small group, I have no fear in discussing with every member, compared to when I am in a larger group where I have issues speaking with everyone. In smaller groups, it is easier for me to pay attention to everyone’s idea. My ability to pay attention have helped me become a better listener, respond to other group members ideas with full understanding. To be involved in a small group, members of that group must have the ability to cooperate.…
The North Dakota Association of Honor Society has four criteria that all members should possess and applicants must meet all four to be inducted: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Since I have been given the opportunity to fill out the application for the Honor Society and write this essay, I clearly have demonstrated skill in the Scholarship area. However, that still leaves three other areas. First is the area of Leadership. I have been entrusted by my peers to serve in various leadership positions both in the school and through other activities that I am involved with, which range from Class President to serving as a member of the school's Peer Leader Team.…
I know feel that everyone will not always agree with what I have to say or what I think and I will not always agree with what other people think or say. I just have to respect, listen and consider their opinion. The group and class discussion also helped improve my critical thinking skills and communication. I sometimes find myself talking over people whenever I disagree, but in this class I had to remember to let others speak as well. I managed to keep an open mind when it came to moral issues.…
I usually just tell myself that I’ll do the work once I am alone. She then says “Group performances gets worse as group size increases.” Similar to classes in college, I have heard various times from fellow classmates that they perform worse in bigger classrooms because less is expected from them individually during classes. I like Susan Cain also believe that people skills are essential to our lives; however, I believe having a strict rule on group brainstorming restrains introverts from creating something magnificent in their moments on isolation. Susan Cain points out the importance of giving introverts their space in her essay “The Rise of the New Groupthink.”…
As I go further into my engineering degree, I realize the need for collaboration with my peers. Much of my freshman year, I was able to do everything on my own. It did not affect me that I avoided studying with friends. More often than not, I even purposely chose to study by myself. My main excuse would be, “I need to focus.…
Individuality/Conformity Essay Rewrite Schools and education systems have one major job; prepare students for life in the real world. To accomplish this, schools must provide the education needed for high achievement, and teach kids organization, drive, and discipline through a strict daily schedule. In this light, we see that it is the responsibility of schools to enforce conformity to high extent, in order to teach future generations how to behave in American society. Every day at 8:16am, the first bell rings (Source B) signaling that it is time for the day to begin.…
Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to listen to others ideas which can help me to learn something new, and using former knowledge while working together to create a clean, in depth, and well prepared presentation. With working in groups of students whom I have known since I was young but…
Collaboration can be extremely fruitful when the environment is flexible, open-minded, constructive, and the team has clear goals. Working on a team involved identifying roles for each member based upon our strengths. Early on in the capstone class, my group attempted to fit each member into arbitrary, rotating roles in order to complete our requirements. The first semester revealed conflicts of work methods and styles. Our communication was poor and workload uneven.…
Reflection Paper II Throughout my college experience here in the Carroll School of Management, group work and the ability to work well with others has been emphasized greatly. This makes sense, because in a professional environment, the ability to communicate, listen and contribute within a group leads to success and the achievement of goals. However, none have gone on as long as this project, making it a more realistic example of working on a team. Junior year of college is definitely a crazy time, as we are forced to balance heavy workloads with extracurriculars and recruiting.…
I believe that collaboration or teamwork is essential for a student to have because of of how beneficial it is now and the future to come. It helps build an individual 's social skills and improve interactions with other people.

Lastly, working with others can be a learning experience for everyone in the group since different positions and ideas are being shared.…
