Week 7
I have never be one who enjoys working with a group because there are always issues and conflict even if you try and avoid them. Also it probably does not help when I have had some bad experiences when working in a group. But in life it is necessary to work in groups whether it is a school project, club activities or working on a project for your job. One problem is communication sometime only one person is communicating with the group or no one is until the very last minute. But along with working in groups, communication is all so essential in life. Inorder to successful the lines of communication have to be open and free of judgement. This does not always happens because we do not live in a ideal world. Another aspect to have a successful group is making sure everyone has a task and are doing their part along with being one time with deadlines. Another thing to keep thing running smoothly is having a positive atmosphere for everyone which will make for happy group members and allows individuals to feel free to say an idea which can be a good one for whatever the project the groups is working without making them feel insecure about sharing. Knowing this traits to create a successful group it can help make thing run smooth with the next group project I have to work on.

Group projects can be difficult and as you said, in life it is necessary to work in groups whether it is a school project, club activities or working on a project for your job. What I have often found is that the attitude I approach a task with determines my attitude throughout the project. Recognizing the difficulties is important, but allowing that to consume you can be detrimental to the success of the group you interact with. I would encourage you to continue reflecting on this. Great thoughts! I'm glad you feel willing to share your reflections on a difficult topic.
