Reflections on theTeamwork Experience

Personal Reflections on Team work experienceTeam consist of number of employees which works together towards the attainment ofthe organisational goals in effective manner. Moreover in today's work culture and competitiveenvironment, various organisations and educational institutions requires individuals and studentsto work in team and coordinate effectively with others. When individuals work in team, it beaksdown the complex task into smaller parts and each member is assigned specific responsibilitywhich allows the group activities to be executed within definite time frame. In a effective teamindividuals performs their roles and responsibilities in a better way, thereby minimising conflictsand maintains group harmony. Therefore working in group enhances my learning experience andallows to share ideas and suggestions effectively with other. This leads to gain more insights anddeeper understanding to knowledge. The key to effective team work assist me to clearlyrecognise my characteristics as well as strength and weakness which help me convert my weakerpoints into strengths and leads to effective working within team. This learning experiencing canbe linked to Kolbs Learning Cycle which consist of four stages and allows me to experiencefrom every day basis while working in team. Therefore this is an effective learning cycle whichenhance knowledge and experiences while working in team (Smith, 2016). Working in team has enhances my concrete experiences, it is the first stage of Kolbslearning cycle which allows me to learn from a new experience or a situation which isencountered for the first time. Team working experiences has updated my skills and knowledgebut the most important is that it has allowed me to learn from facing new experiences such ashow to manage and handle any new situation which arises within team and how to take effectivedecision and manages conflicts within the team. Therefore learning from such experiencesenhances my skills to encounter any problem and face future challenges while working in teamand fosters my creativity (Tomkins and Ulus, 2016). Apart from this working in team providedme the scope for conducting reflective observation in order to analyse my learning andexperience by working with a group of team members. It led me to analyse my new experienceor any inconsistency associated with it. As working with group has not increased my risk taking

abilities as to which I can not effectively take decisions and need the support of the entire group.This is the major drawback in me which have increased my dependability on others to take proper decisions (Kolb, 2014). Thisleads to my unequal participation in the group activities and also needs to analysis that I need todevelop communication skills so as to properly communicate and interact and effectively withteam members and shares ideas and suggestions with them. Moreover working in a team hasenhanced my knowledge and fosters creativity but on the bother side it has increased mydependence level on others to take effective decisions and has reduced risk taking abilities. Fromthis it is clear that I need to develop my risk taking skills and communication skills so that I caneffectively communicate and interact with other clients and achieve common results in a positivemanner. Taking effective actions against these drawbacks will enhance my involvement withinthe team more efficiently. Moreover these skills are important for me to make my positivepresence within the team (Salas and Rosen, 2013). Lessons learnt from Experience From my experience of working in team I came to analysis that I need to develop mycommunication skills and should effectively takes decision alone so as to reduce dependabilityon others. It leads to abstract conceptualization which is the third stage of Kolbs learning cycle,gives rise to the new idea and concepts regarding from which person has learned fromexperience. Apart from this I also learned that it needs to have a clear goal so that so that I caneffectively contribute towards the realisation of common goals. Most importantly the best thing Ihave learned from team work experience is that different team member have differentknowledge, it is necessary to concern every individual ideas and suggestions so that team workcan be completed within the set deadline. Moreover working in group makes the projectactivities interesting as well as less time is required to complete the project. This provided me achance to work on different projects and enhances my knowledge and skills. Hence working inteam provided me a positive experience and motivated me to complete my future tasks whileworking in team as well as it assist me to have proper knowledge regarding the gaols andobjectives of the organisation so that I can execute my work in a proper direction and workstowards achieving the goals in a positive manner. Therefore team work experience helped me todevelop my skills such as communication skills and will allow me to develop risk taking abilitiesby adopting different methods and procedures so that I can effectively contribute while working
