Section 1. Reflection on group formation and articulation
I think that it is difficult to work in a group as it requires in depth understanding and proper
assigning of roles and duties. In my group there were 4-5 people. As I was sitting next to my
friend, we decided to create a group. In that I was invited. But I think that forming group was not
an effective process (Alrashidi, Joy and Ullmann, 2019). It is because we decided to form group
just for completion of common goal. So, in this we could have use a theory or model of team
forming. It would be useful in forming team and assigning roles and responsibilities. Moreover,
we can have given title to each one of them. In addition to it, we behaved with each other with
respect and dignity.
My role was as a leader. This is because I was having capability and skills to lead team. I
am highly privileged that I was assigned the role of leader. I think that I will be able to lead my
team in effective way. I can perform my role by communicating with each member easily. As I
am having a little experience of how leader lead and encourage team.
I think that our group were having better understanding with each other. This is because we
mutually decided that who will do what task. Besides that, in my view as we understood better,
we also recognise abilities and skills of one another. So, it was easy for me to assign them roles
and responsibility. I was having a better relationship and understanding with them. But I was
expecting more from them. We discussed and developed a plan that when we have to do task. I
requested everyone to participate in it. Each of them shared their views and with mutual
understanding we divided work (Carter, Creedy, and Sidebotham, 2017)
The group was clear that how we have to complete task. Here, a schedule was developed
by me with them. Also, I asked to them regarding choice and interest of area. I am very well
organised in my work. Moreover, I know that how to communicate with others. As I already
have interacted with them and know their behaviour. In addition to it, I personally know them so
it is easy for me to handle and manage them.
Section 2. Reflection on digital collaboration and how we fail
In my opinion I think that it is important to have a proper communication between group
members in order to work effectively. This is because if there is no proper collaboration then
overall groups efforts done gets fail.
