Introduction
Team development is a structural technique that assures every member is working together
and coordinating their efforts. The report's primary emphasis will be focused on issues, such
as group interaction, and identifying critical lessons for future progress (Fink-Samnick,
2020). A four-person group was created to design a jetpack prototype for the Hubro Jet pack
company. To improve business and profitability in the global market by creating a good
customer experience, Hubro Jet Pack Manufacturing Company's objective is to deliver an
improved customer time and generate better sustainable goods for consumers. To evaluate
experiences and active experimentation in a reflective academic report, the reflective cycle of
the Gibbs has been used to provide a standardized paradigm. The framework of Gibbs will
involve several processes like description, feeling, evaluation, analysis, action plan, and
conclusion to illustrate the different aspects that are involved while forming the group.
Reflection with Gibb’s Cycle Model
Group formation
To elucidate the group development of the study, Tuckman’s model has been used. Teams
develop through several stages, including gathering, storming, norming, and performing, in
conformity with Tuckman's Model. Four members of our group were given prominent
responsibilities to fulfill.
Group Forming
Description
At this point, everyone in my team had their first interaction and could get to know each
other. The configurational or forming phase of group formation was used to designate the
forming condition (Galarneau, Colasante, and Malti, 2022). The team was formally
introduced at this point. Although the members were upbeat at this crucial phase, their level
of confidence is still less than that of a successful working group. At this point, each group
member analyzed the Hubro Jet Pack Manufacturing Company's objectives. To achieve a
successful future outcome, the groups' regulatory considerations, functions, and periods were
already examined. The respective responsibilities of each individual were allocated at this
stage. I was personally selected as the supervisor of the group while the other two members
were allocated as the data analyst through mutual consent and the last member took the

responsibility for evaluating the marketing strategy for the project. Although the team
mutually agreed on the task allocation responsibilities one of them was facing problems in his
respective role.
Feeling
I felt that the evaluations of the regulatory framework for the project complication were
successfully addressed in the forming stage as all the members in my group seemed to be
respectful of each other's roles and responsibilities. Few successive analyses like the mutual
settlement of group forming were well elucidated and consented by the members in the group
but factors like developing a feeling of trust and confidence were still very low among the
members. I felt that the members of my team were not still coordinated enough with each
other. As a supervisor or leader, my responsibility was to ensure better coordination among
each member but at the stage of forming it seemed that my actions were inadequate and
ineffective as a leader.
Evaluation
Allocating the right task to the right individual is one of the most important aspects that need
to be taken into consideration for completing a project (Hildebrandt and Marr, 2020). For
developing the project planning of the Hubro Jet Pack company the allocation was
individually made to the four members in the group but instances like the placement of the
right people at the right position were no done systematically as a result one of the members
was facing some issues that resulted in poor coordination and improper facilitation of the
task. Poor coordination can also result in a lesser development of trust among the members of
the group.
Analysis
Coordination and communication are two of the most important factor that can enable a
group to perform effectively. In the forming stages, the initial introductory phase among the
group was successful but the respective roles of the individuals were still not formal as one of
the members was facing problems (Hastings, Kavookjian, and Ekong, 2019). As a supervisor
felt the lack of coordination among the members was obstructing the teamwork perspectives
of the group. As a leader, it was my primary responsibility to ensure that the satisfaction
levels among the members are standardized so that their performance can be effective.
Conclusion

I learned that trust buildup is an important fundamental consideration that a team needs to
develop to ensure better coordination. In the group formation process for project development
of the Hubro jetpack company, the job allocation among the members was not done
responsibly as a result in the initial stage trust buildup and coordination became a severe
implication.
I feel that following a feedback policy before the project initiation would have been an
effective procedure to ensure that the right people were settled at the right task. This policy
will have enabled our team to gather the perspective of each other and implement the right
action choices for role allocation.
Action Plan
In the future, if issues related to responsibility allocation and coordination arise I will revise
the participants' work responsibilities or tasks as the team leader. I will follow the democratic
style of leadership to see the challenges my team members were experiencing and give
relevant amendments for better facilitation of the group activity (Kotamena, Senjaya, and
Prasetya, 2020). My idea of making decisions will be reinforced by the democratic leadership
approach.
Storming stage
Description
Creating a design for a jetpack is a complex procedure, thus it's critical to make sure all
employee at Hubro Jet Company can effectively carry out their duties. Group functions can
start at this phase if the jobs and duties have been appropriately structured and arranged
(Boone, Andries, and Clarysse, 2020). Group members are vulnerable to conflict at this point.
I made an effort to blend in with all the other members of the team at this time as a team
member. But conflicts among the members seemed to be predominant as at this stage none of
the members in the group are settled well. Although my team members were trying to adjust
themselves in their respective position their constraints created obstruction. Conflict
individual's decision-making created a major obstruction as the perspectives of one member
differ from another.
Feeling
I feel that interpersonal conflict were a major issue that can lead to a poor formulation of
teamwork. It can further give rise to self-ego and mistrust among the individual. In my team,
I felt that the conflict among the members due to perspective differences harmed my
performance. I experienced some anxiousness in the storming stage because I was

apprehensive that the team-bonding strategies will not deliver the best outputs for conflict
management, which would make the study a massive failure.
Evaluation
My team had conflicts or issues because members did not often get along or make an effort to
earmark their differences and learn together. These discrepancies stemmed from variances in
project delivery, working personalities, or methods of operation (Tabassi, Abdullah, and
Bryde, 2019). Disputes must be resolved promptly, appropriately, and with the minimal
possibility of power outage possible to guarantee that my team performs well. The success of
every alternative business on its competence to overcome team differences. I felt the conflicts
in the group were a major reason that we were suffering to undertake the objectives properly
and effectively. This further resulted in a decrease in the pace of our project.
Analysis
It was analyzed that the difference in opinion and individual preference were two of the main
reason behind disruption or conflict among the team. This resulted in a poor working
structure where individuals were not able to trust each other (Flores, Jiang, and Manz, 2018).
As a leader, I felt that conflicts occur when the structure of work is inadequate and
insufficient for meeting the objectives. Similarly, in the case of the Hubro jet pack companies
project work, we were not able to develop a proper structure to facilitate our desired
objectives as a result conflicts arose very often. Although to resolve the issues the Thomas-
Kilmann strategy was applied by me, which further enabled me to settle down some issues
by formulating a compromising approach toward each other (Koley, and Rao, 2018). Further,
through compromise, every member of the team seemed to be collaborative with each other
in case of identifying the issues and rectifying them subsequently.
Conclusion
It would be a good option to convene the team members to discuss this matter if I became
aware of the friction between them (Lee and Wong, 2019). Set certain ground rules before the
talk commences. The team needs to communicate with one another, respect each other's
opinions, and avoid offending one another.
Action Plan
For conflict management in a group, a social approach will be developed by me in the future
that will enable the group to socialize with each other and put individual differences aside.
This will further enhance the interpersonal skills of the group and enable them to facilitate
properly without any conflict in operation.

Conclusion
The overall conclusion explicitly states that in needed to undertake a task effectively, steps
that can result in improved team coordination must be taken. To ensure that the conflicts may
be settled adequately, strategies are implemented. Additionally, concentration must be
directed on ensuring that team member conflicts can be accurately diagnosed so that
improved conflict management tactics may be utilized. While conducting the project for the
Hubrojetpack company several instances have been found that created the problem in project
development. This problem has to be identified effectively so that teamwork can be
facilitated toward the project vision
