¶ … Group Project Participated, Effective a Team Member

Participation in a group project, behaviors, effectiveness and solution of arising issues

The basic step required the constitution of our team so that each could get roles to play in the project. As a member, the assembly of the right and performing team proved a real test. However, the attribute of tolerance and accommodation of different personalities promoted an understanding that led to a working team. The team constituted personalities from different fields, as; thus, opinions had a wide range of variance.

The expression of positive teamwork during the undertaking of our project proved a major step towards the realization of the set down project objectives. The different members involved contributed high quality performances towards the project. This led to each member succeeding at a personal level. The basic success contributed to group work success; hence the quality of the project realized improved.

Problems and ideological differences among the different members of a group may cause strife. However, the identification, understanding and management of the different expectations lead to working in harmony (Susan, 2010). The understanding among group members may get a promotion through holding of constructive dialogue and expression of sincerity and openness to one another. Effective understanding among group members further promotes the understanding of the project at hand, thereby enhancing coming up with solutions.

Leadership and management

Managing constitutes a wide range of responsibilities; including, but not limited to, planning, organizing, leading and controlling (Susan, 2010). As such, leading constitute one aspect of managing. The fact that managers lead in decision making, implementation and realization of objectives of organizations, due to the advancement of technology, management and leadership denote the same thing. However, in as much as all managers exhibit leadership qualities, leaders do not necessarily show managerial attributes. This underlines that managers double up as leaders.

Stages in Team development

The first step in team development involves the correct identification of group members. The members should represent common goals and objectives under discussion. The next step involving contribution of the varied ideas of the members and incorporating them in decision making follows. The last step involves the holding of discussions aimed at arriving at a common goal towards the achievement of set goals (Susan, 2010). The positive contribution of members involved in the discussion need inclusion while drawing of conclusions.

Difference between constitution of a project team and a problem solving team

The composition of a project team heavily relies on the expertise and experience each member has. As such, project team members exhibit more and related professionalism in carrying out their works (Susan, 2010). On the other hand, a problem solving team involves members with an understanding of situations and circumstances most relevant to the occurrence and solution of a problem. This implies that problem teams thrive on circumstantial occurrences as opposed to planned activities in project teams.

Cause-and-effective relationship

The behavior and character of managers and those in leadership positions cause other staff to behave and carry out duties in line with those in charges (Susan, 2010). Strong managerial skills, coupled with efficient leadership abilities promote the realization of organizational objectives. On the other hand, poor managers promote a tendency of poor workmanship, and, in most cases, lead to redundancies. A strong relation occurs in manager-employee relationship, in that if the manager perpetuates the tendency of late-coming, employees fall in step, affecting the organization negatively.
