Reflection On The Heifer Project

Decent Essays
During the Heifer Project I realized how important proper communication is and how you need it in everything you do. I realized that without proper communication you can never do anything or get anywhere in life.I believe that communication is one of the most important things in group projects is to not fight and argue which is where I believe proper communication can help those situations.

In our group, people would sometimes sit around and not help or do all the work and not let the others take part in anything. Communication works really well in those situations because we can talk things out and come up with a good compromise. I am not saying that I did everything right and I was the best one in the group because and I was the leader

    The main challenge of this group situation is that there was a sudden rise of conflict among members at the beginning to mid phase of the project. This resulted the possible development of groupthink (Janis, 2008). As a leader in this situation, I would firstly feel lousy and disappointed in myself that I didn’t take note of group’s division and how the meeting could be more inclusive of everyone’s opinion (Chadha, 2016). However, at that point, I would also probably feel confused but yet curious as to why it was suddenly voiced out, hence thought that I should facilitate to explicit the thoughts and feelings of each member to better understand as well.…

    A team, or a group of followers being led by someone, relies completely on communication to be successful. This means involving as many people as possible in the process. If you have more people collaborating on a project, you have more perspectives. As we learned in our unit on adaptive leadership, the more perspectives, the better. An important part of being a leader is letting your followers be heard.…

    Heifer Case Study

    The heifer assigned, #293, did not show any behavioural indications of heat. The results were limited as the animals had just been fed and were eating during observation, therefore overshadowing any possible signs of heat. If in heat, the heifer would have been exhibiting more signs earlier in the morning, rather than late morning as it was during observation. The cells which were swabbed from her vagina and prepared on a slide were identified as superficial cells when compared to the sheets in lab. The cells appeared to have nuclei, and therefore were not fully cornfield.…

    The activity where communication was central to the process was the building a bridge activity. Communication was a vital role that really helped/hindered goal attainment during the activity. A brief overview of the building a bridge activity is that as a group, we would use communication to help us build similar halves of a bridge once we divide into two groups within our original group, that are separated by a tarp. Communication helped us achieve the goal of having a similar bridge halves even though there was the obstacle of only being allowed to ask 3 questions to our other group during the building process. The first struggle within my group was that we were all talking over each other to get our opinions across which we quickly discovered…

    Compromise Mode In Nursing

    As an emergency room nurse my mind is hard wired to treat patients as quickly as possible and have them vacate to an admissions bed or back home. The acute care environment can be so hectic that looking past a patient’s discharge instructions can easily be over looked. An emergency room nurse regardless of her or his acute care mindset still knows how to apply the nursing process to any plan of care at hand and it is no different to a plan of continuous care in a patient’s home. The key is sending home a plan formulated in conjunction with the input of the same medical professionals and support staff that took care of the patient in the first place. Nurses are no longer moving towards a care process of just following orders, yet as partners…

    This aphorism means that it is not possible to intentionally go without communicating. Communication is always prevalent even when you are not aware of it, you can communicate without saying any words, like for example your body language can say a lot about what you are thinking. Even if you were to try not communicating you are giving off the message that you do not want to be communicated with and that message, sent to other individuals, is still communicating. Small groups are like this in the way that if you try and not communicate with anyone you are portraying the message that you want to be secluded from the group.…

    “As important as the participation of group member is to group synergy, no one wants to encourage participation from members who are obnoxious or bent on sharing misinformation”. (J. Dan Rothwell, pp 276). 3 out of 5 group members were only focused on finishing their portion of the work, which complicated the whole project because it has to be done by the member who proposed the change. Low participation is the problem I felt that we encounter in this group project. I was fully motivated, and willing to spend more time with it; however, not all members were doing effective communications to follow through.…

    Introduction In this reflection, I will focus on some important topics such as, what I learned about individual and business taxation from this course, what was my experience with the group project and what were the challenges that I faced during both the group project and this course. I am also going to add some main overall points that I learned. Tax is generally an amount of money that is charged by a government on a product, income, or activity so that it can pay for public services. In addition, there are several very common types of taxes: • Income Tax (a percentage of individual or corporate earnings filed to the government) • Sales Tax (taxes charged on certain goods and services) • Property Tax (taxes charged on the value of land…
