My responsibilities were attending our group meetings, participating in discussions and presentation, completing my tasks before each due date, and making sure that my work met the requirements. With time, I also recognized the importance of fostering flexibility and responsiveness because this could increase my ability to respond to change. For example, sometimes our discussion did not strictly follow our agenda; however, we came up with…

Rachel is an Elaborator because she tries to work out what time everyone should get together for Phoebes birthday dinner party. Ross’s role affected the group communication by Phoebe telling him he is a little bit of a drama queen and he should mind his own business. Rachel’s role affected the group communication by everyone in the group eventually settling on the perfect time for dinner; she really wanted to find the time so she can get a babysitter for her newly born baby. 2.

When working in the classroom on group projects, oftentimes a group leader isn't officially designated, but I will usually volunteer to help divide up the project's tasks and ensure that everybody stays on track; and although I will…
Those are the leadership roles that had a title. Informally, whenever I am in a group, I like to think of myself as a leader. I like to know the agenda in which the project will be executed, and also put input of various ways to improve the project. I am not one to watch the work be done by others. After the many experiences of being a leader I have learned to be open to other’s ideas because they may have a different viewpoint of the project which may be a better viewpoint than my…
When doing group work, I am almost always in charge. For example, I am the leader of my homecoming project group in my marketing class. I am also the leader/captain of my team for the ProStart Culinary Competition that I have participated in junior and senior year. My team members believe that I am the best candidate to take care of all the paperwork and make sure everything that needs to be done gets done. I would also like to believe that I am someone people can look up to.…
Leadership is needed because someone has to be there to guide the group and help the group out. Without leadership, the group would be lost. Time management is important to make certain that fast and efficient work is being done and so that deadlines are hit. Lastly, cooperation is needed because without it, life would be a disaster. Of course, everyone has different opinions but putting those different ideas together could help accomplish an even better…
I. Précis of Film – brief summary of film (storyline) 12 jurors gather to determine the fate of a teenager on trial for murder in the first degree. A guilty verdict would result in the teen facing the death penalty. Sequestered in a room, the jurors find that they all vote guilty except for one juror, juror #8, who expects more deliberation over the case before delivering a guilty verdict. The other jurors put forth arguments supporting the conclusion that the boy is without a doubt guilty, but Juror #8 maintains his position with his own evidence. Eventually, juror #10 changes his vote to not guilty.…
DeVany identified the fifteen roles that leaders play in order to manage performance and accountability of a team and its members. However, based on experience, one can believe that when working in any specific team environment, the manager cannot conceivably play all these roles at an effective level. Instead, if a team is well organized, the members of the team are also tasked with taking on some of these roles and responsibilities. The first part of managing a team with diverse personalities is knowing which personalities complement each other and the team.…
I have never been a part of a formal group meeting; however, I have participated in informal group discussions. Prior to my sibling being diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, someone within my nuclear family unit organized a family meeting that took place in the dining room. The family members sat around the circular table and addressed their concerns with his problem behavior. There were no formal procedures to guide the conversation but instead family members would interject when they felt inclined to do so. My father assumed the facilitator role and informally greeted the group and provided us with an overview of the purpose of the meeting.…

Reflective Journal 1 Starting the semester I didn’t really know what to expect from psycho educational groups. Now that we are a few weeks into the semester I understand more about the importance of learning how to lead a group as a human services professional. To be completely honest I am no thrilled at the idea, but I know that at some point in my career I might have to lead a group.…
Groups survive because of the members! This includes the group leader and all participants in the group. With that said a group must come together and for a bond. Northen states “When groups are not able to develop the cohesiveness that motivates members to remain in the group, the result is that the group disbands, either by decision of the members or simply because members stop coming.” As various personalities make up the memberships of a group there are various challenges from group member roles a group leader may face.…
