In this exercise I believe I was the “team worker” (#6 on
the list). I cooperated with the members in my group in a very positive manner
when we were trying to build the balloon tower. Although I don’t believe that
this will apply to every time I work in a group related activity. It depends on
what the task is and my level of knowledge in that area. That’s most likely how
it is for other people too and possibly at times we can even fall on to more
than one category of the list.
The video about the geese was very interesting, the way they
help each other naturally says a lot about working as a team. In their case teamwork isn’t used just as way
to fly but also survival. Humans should learn from the geese. Sometimes we may become so preoccupied with
achieving our own personal goals that we put aside our teamwork abilities.
Some people if not most people prefer to work individually
because they can work at their own pace and do things exactly as they wish.
However what we have to realize is that with a well organized group the project
being completed will have better results in less amount of time. It’s all a
matter of distributing the tasks well, setting dues dates and completing them
on time. Working together can be less
stressful and more productive when all the members of the team cooperate.
Our team has chosen … lesson.
(Chicos que
lección de los gansos vamos a escoger?)
