REFLECTIVE JOURNAL PROFORMA FOR TEAM-WORKING
What is the core skill to develop?
Team Working skills is widely interesting concept which conveys together everyone
achieve more. Personally, I believe that through team working way to benefit can be
entertained. This can help me in accessing my own talent and help in building a
quality of work through sold for a profit (Dettmer, et al. 2013). I can develop team
work through setting goals and session for each and every team members who need
not be binding on management. By implementing rewarding system for the entire
team and feel free to express them honestly without fear of retaliation is personally
believed to be the skill which I need to develop.
Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use
relevant theories and concepts to support your answer)
Team work skills are vital in case of providing many areas through which the projects
on which can you work can be more successful. These often need to collaborate and
complete tasks and projects on having teamwork skills. I have selected this skill in
order to work well on my own and be the team player who is valued. This can help
me in self-management and boosting my confidence (Geo., 2017). Through these
skills, I may become able to take responsibility on my own and support any fellow
members by instructing them. The prevalence to the Tuckman’s Team development
theory helps in providing in-depth analysis to development stages for me. With the
stages of Tuckman development theory, professional growth and opportunities to
meet the task can be responded (Riebe, et al. 2010). The responsiveness to the
change in the absence of multidisciplinary actions can be encouraged.
Reflect on your current competent regarding this skill. How did you assess

your competence? (use your self-assessment findings, feedback from peers
and your tutor, plus your own reflections on your thoughts, feelings and
behaviours to answer this question)
It is necessary for me to develop effective communication skills as it will help in
evaluating performance and managing workload successfully. I may be able to
amicably meet with the fellow employees and manage each kind of situations and
with empathy. Teamwork involves helping other members within team. Through team
work skills, I can be competent in different areas like my communication skills will be
enhanced (Riebe, et al. 2010). I will become more supportive and consoling with the
team members and will able to solve my problem and concerned with the capacity to
assess a given situation positively. Through team work other skills such as listening
and feedback skills, conflict management skills and others can be entertained.
Can you identify any contradictions from your analysis above? For example, is
there a match between how you see yourself and how others see you, or not?
Teamwork is the supporting practices which inherent tensions with the other skills. It
is contradictions are demolished as they possess variant features. The level of
anxiety and possessiveness and competency in me can hinder the enrichment in
other skills. Therefore, it necessary for me to overcome from anxiety and competency
(Patchan & Schunn, 2015). This can be highly indulged with supportive team building
exercises which are regularly needed to be functioning and collaboration of the
opportunities in the business.
How might this skill help me in the future? (use references to support your
argument)
To remain calm in conflict based situation at the workplace is something which can
be gained with the experience. The proper feedback is presented on my behaviour
by the other team members while practicing activities (Patchan & Schunn, 2015).
