REFLECTIVE JOURNAL1IntroductionA corporation is very often divided into different teams with each team being providedwith the opportunity of working together for the achievement of their business objectives (CaterIII, Kidwell, and Camp, pg. 301-326). It is for this reason, I believe that during our course inuniversities, we are very often given the course assignments in groups whereby the contributionof each of the members is very crucial to the success of the entire team. In the previousassessment, we had been given the task of making an academic poster and case analysis wherebythe entire team had to work together in order to conduct the given task. The report is a self-reflective journal whereby the different events which took place in lieu of preparing the posterwill be described, analyzed and evaluated with respect to practice concepts as well as theory, Description of the events The task in hand involved forming an academic poster and case analysis whereby wewere required to make a digital poster using the PowerPoint tools which is the most commonlyused software for poster making. The positive aspect of the situation was that we all were veryenthusiastic to make the poster as it was a new learning experience for us, moreover, as the teamwas formed by the course lecturer, we students had the opportunity of working with previouslyunknown classmates. Hence, we decided to put our best foot forward.Although the excitement about learning to make a poster kept us driving, there was anegative aspect associated with the situation was that all of us were inexperienced with respect tothe knowledge about making a poster. This was a new experience and hence, we faced certainissues with respect to the formation of the design, layout and other such issues. However, weundertook the help of different classmates to learn. According to me, another negative aspect of
REFLECTIVE JOURNAL2the situation was that the schedules of the different classmates, stood as a barrier in front of thegroup meetings and it became quite difficult to manage the timings of the meetings. However, this scenario was soon solved as we decided to conduct the physical meetingsonce a week and the virtual ones thrice every week. The first meeting took place in the thirdweek of the coursework which was followed by the second meeting which took place in the fifthweek of the coursework. Each of the members divided the task among themselves and thencontributed collectively towards the success of the entire project. Initially during the first fewmeetings, conflicts and arguments became a common part of the meetings and hence, for thisreason, the meetings often got delayed.However, during the latter half of the team project, the situation and schedules becamemore cooperative in nature and the members started to interact with one another more easily. Westarted attending seminars together and on certain occasions, went out for lunch as well. Whenthe cooperation phase increased, the results became quite visible in nature and the poster wascompleted with due consideration to all the requirements which had been stated. Hence, I believethat the experience was a learning one and it helped me to understand the team dynamics.Reasoning and Evaluation of the eventsAccording to Collins et al, (pg. 63-91), team conflicts are often considered to be aprominent part of any team building and group tasks. During the initial phase of the team, theteam conflicts are on a rise because of various factors like the responsibility factors, the non –acquaintance aspect of the members and clarity regarding the task (Maxwell). However, as statedby Crawford and Jeffery (pg. 32-48), as the group progresses towards a mature phase, theconflicts decrease and the contribution increases.
