Successful Team for a Group

Successful Team

For a group to be functional, effective and efficient, cooperation of each member is important. Roles that the members will fulfill are also crucial to ensure a successful outcome in their projects. Teamwork is called as such since this include involvement of all the members of the group however small their role each one plays. Each member is important, thus, all voices should be heard and communication should be kept open.

I was once part of a school committee whose task was to organize a major annual talent showcase of the school. To be specific, I was part of the team that was given the job to choose who should be included in the line-up of performers. Our tasks included publicity of the audition, distribution of sign-up sheets for interested students, venue and schedule of the audition, acquisition of the musical instruments needed, and choosing the performers. Our team was composed of five people coming from different colleges. When we held our first meeting, we introduced ourselves, familiarized ourselves with our strengths and weaknesses and discussed the tasks. It was a democratic form of meeting, and there were no assigned leader. However, being the most experienced, unofficially, I was rather relied upon to facilitate the first meeting and all that came after. It was also my unofficial duty to check if the each member who volunteered to do a certain job was able to do it on time, or if problems arose, help the person in his task.
