TEAM WORK
One main popular culture that interests me the most is teamwork. Teamwork as a matter of fact refers to the concept of people working together corporately
(Team work, 2007). Teamwork is usually an efficient way by which two or more group of people that are aimed at completing a common objective come together bring out ideas and finally come into consensus through discussions and sharing of ideas.
Several factors come into play in order for a team to be successful. As an online student in Franklin, most of our assignments are usually supposed to be completed as a team. One thing that I actually realized is the fact that these team assignments begin and end successfully through Tuckman’s stages of team development. These stages are forming, storming, worming, performing and adjourning (12 Manage 2007).
Forming is one of the most important stages that come to play when we are given the assignment. At this stage we usually determine our medium of communication. Even though we mostly use emails, we sometimes set time when we could use the Franklin live communication tools. We then identify the task we are going to accomplish and how it could be done. At this stage participation do not turn out to be secure and cordial since we barely know each other pretty well.
We then get into the storm stage where each member of the team defines him or herself in relation to the group. This is when we always had our team leader who will help facilitate our efforts of completing the assignment which is our main goal. Hence each team member is given a responsibility to accomplish.
The next stage which is the norm stage is when the trust between each team member becomes strong due to the appointment of our team leader and shared responsibilities between members. This form of trust always enhances are communication with one another.
At the performance state, we try as much as possible to maintain the effectiveness of the team. This is where we bring all our output of the tasks together and collaborate in order to emerge on a single solution.
The final part which is the adjourn stage is when the team disintegrate after achieving our main, objective which is to complete the assignment. That brings in mid that teams are formed in order to achieve a particular task after which they withdraw connections with others.
