INTRODUCTION
The advent of globalization has steadily changed the way people live their lives and
business is conducted across the world as it has turned the world into one interconnected trading
hub (Hardin, Monahan and Ramin, 2018). This report will detail a reflective report which will
detail the teamwork that went into undertaking rigorous learning from academic modules
regarding globalization and its major implications along with important factors such as local and
global cultural difference. There will be key reflective analysis regarding the challenges faced,
aspects of teamwork and collaborations used along with the cultural differences on a local and
global level and the way it impacts group progress.
MAIN BODY
Self awareness
The modules which we were constantly subjected to during this learning period where I
also partook in many teamwork exercises and group projects helped in building a robust
understanding regarding the way work is conducted in teams and the various considerations one
has to keep in mind when behaving in a group. I managed to become proficient at the major
values which are integral for working in any group setting which are tolerant behaviour which
is necessary to not only understand differences but have the broad mindset to inculcate them in
routine group working, self-awareness which is necessary for personal understanding of
strengths and limitations along with trust which must be shared among all members of the team
(Gopinath and Saleem, 2020). However, there were also weaknesses that I could not overcome
despite frequenting the modules and indulging in group projects as I was a slow worker and
barely completed the task delegated to me by other members in projects regarding globalization
which not only put pressure on me when deadline for submission was nearing but also put undue
pressure on my teammates. My overall experience of learning how to function in a group and
maintain high levels of productivity while being part of a team in a professional setting was
positive with a few weaknesses that need extra work to mitigate.
