CH. 9 – FOUNDATIONS OF GROUP BEHAVIOR AND CH. 10 – UNDERSTANDING WORK TEAMS
Working in some groups is a wonderful experience for me. It seems a good chance to implement all group traits, which have been studied or learn in class. The most important thing a is to shape the behavior of all group members to enhance the visibility of effective collaborations and work at the same agenda. There are different stages for group formation, such as forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. In all these processes, the most important thing is the integration with different group’s objectives. It sets the foundation for the groups and being an active part of the group; I always look to increase my participation. Furthermore, I also want to reflect the role expectation. For Instance, when working in different groups, there is a need to shape the behavior or traits, which are predictable. It enables long-term collaborations and integration, which is good to increase the chances of success (Robbins and Judge 133).
Understanding the teamwork is not always complicated. When working in different teams, the intention should be towards creating the positive synergy to meet team goals and objectives. Despite having the diversity regarding team members, it seems interesting to observe different levels of the decision making. Delegating the decision-making process in different team stages is critical, and it has been experienced when working in different teams. Interestingly, reflecting the self-managed teams in the company, it has been observed that team members take responsibility for all important tasks and decisions to make outputs predictable. I have also worked in several independent teams, which helps to contain the creativity and innovation. With the perspective of learning, I have studied or learned different traits, which are good to execute the problem identification and problem-solving process. Obviously, the role of the organization culture in team building activities is crucial, and it sets the direction for team manners to collaborate or share information (Robbins and Judge 155).
