REFLECTION
Gibbs Reflection Cycle (Focus: Team Roles)
The following covers the reflection of my own experience which I came across at the
time of completing my studies in the college and I was provided with the part to complete a
project which was related to “Development of Teams in Organisations”, which was provided to
use by out teacher and for the completion of this project, the formation of group was done by the
teacher. The reason behind this was because the project was big and the time was less so it was
not possible to complete the project in the given period of time (Reynolds and Vince, 2017). The
formation of team was done as a team of five members was made with the help of which the
accomplishment of the complete project was done. I chose to pick the most suitable information
from that which is gathered by my another colleague. Different teammates also chose their won
work which they figure they could do, for example, one of them chose to get ready and present
PowerPoint Presentation, another chose to gather information required to finish the project, the
following chose to oversee and manage different individuals from the group in order to ensure
that the work is going in a efficient way and the last one chose to check the work done in last to
whether it is confirm or not as asked in the project. The result of these activities came about in
the convenient and adequately completion of the project. In any case, in the between of the work,
our group confronted a few issues which were amended later on during the completion of work
and coordination was accomplished (Cottrell, 2017). Depiction about my own sentiments with
respect to the work which I chose to do was somewhat anxious and curious. It was so in light of
the fact that I didn't ran over this type of project in my life. This was the absolute first time when
I was getting down to project in a group and doing this sort of work. That is the reason this
inclination came into my mind. After the completion of the work, I felt calmed from a major
work. As from my perspective, I took the second hardest work in my group which was of picking
the relevant information. Another colleagues who played out the project of discovering
information was very little great in his work in beginning so he was required to give direction
and backing from us because of which a portion within recent memory was waste. It likewise
deferred our project completion. The sentiments of other individual is difficult to pass judgement
yet as I comprehended two of my colleagues were feeling loose and free personality yet different
ones were somewhat strained. Be that as it may, in the wake of finishing the project everybody
1

was feeling better and cheerful. During the entire movement the best part I adored was about the
coordination and backing appeared by the managers who was dealing with our entire work.
Anyway in beginning he was not able keep up coordination in the group yet later with the
progression of time, he oversaw everything appropriately and I got the greater part of the
direction and backing from him.
In the greater part of the work, I counselled to him, cleared by questions and made
everything clear to me with the goal that I can give my level best to the work in light of the fact
that for getting great outcomes, everyone in the group was required to work appropriately and the
result will be certain for us all. Our group head encouraged us to work appropriately and in the
correct manner which helped in making improvement in our exhibition and henceforth affected
unquestionably on the general execution of the group. As I previously expressed that my work
somewhat intense on the grounds that the undertaking subject gave to utilize an exceptionally
tremendous point and it make disarray what information should I pick. This state of mind
emerged in light of the fact that the view of each individual contrasts from one another. So I have
to finish my work with due care and appropriately in order to make the work successful.
Different individuals from the group likewise made their very own commitment towards making
the task fruitful and its finish on time as they were additionally doing their work however one of
our colleagues was not performing great in beginning which affected crafted by all other
teammates as he was the person who will begin the project (Breen, Carbone and Freeman,
2015). In any case, the delay caused in the work was secured by the planned work of the
colleagues that make the entire circumstance levelled out and stable. By finishing this project I
came to know about the significance of time the executives in the task as well as in the reality.
Time the board is essential to achieve the entire errand in a proficient and viable way. I took in
this exercise simply because of issues looked by our group identified with time while finishing
this task. So isolating the undertakings is significant as well as their effective completion is
additionally fundamental in order to make the work increasingly viable and great. As when the
work is done in hustle, the odds of slip-ups are more and make the total work wrong. That is the
reason time management is from my perspective is basic to do while doing any work to build its
proficiency and viability. In future, on the off chance that I ever be furnished with this sort of
work I will ensure that I complete the work gave to me on time as I took in this from the present
project which our group has achieved. This experience is considered as both as positive and
2

negative. It is on the grounds that this experience has both positive and negative impact on me.
In this project, time management has made a negative effect in beginning yet making
improvement by me in this will help me improving my future tasks. To me, both the positive and
negative occasions are significant as I can make improvement in both the positive and negative
ones. In future on the off chance that I got an opportunity to work again in a group I will
appropriately deal with my work by differentiating the projects as well as by determining time
required for their completion. This will improve the effectiveness of the work and will help in
future (Baldwin, 2016).
