Team working

We will mainly collaborate! So, we will work together and use different skills to do different things, i.e. one person might be really good at editing videos and someone else is good at animating, they can then create a video that features animation.

We need to focus on conflict resolution. Conflicts can happen often in a group project, so we have to make sure to deal with it quickly to ensure that it doesn’t affect the group and work. Some ways to deal with conflict is to communicate about the topic of the conflict and decide on what should be done through the team. Also make sure to listen to the other person if you are part of the conflict, as this will allow them to feel like they are valued in the team.

There should be a set leader, this is because there needs to be someone that is able to objectively decide on things, such as if there is a conflict they are the person that should help to solve it. The roles of the leader will be to make sure that the group members are doing their set tasks and work, and to ensure that everyone has a fair amount of work. Without a leader the group could risk falling apart.

Co-operation is key when working in a team. This means that we must be willing to do work that we may not want to do but is important to the group overall.

Communication, Consensus and Contracting, are all vital to group works. Consensus means that we have a general agreement, that can then be decided upon in further detail, this will help there to be less conflicts about opposing opinions about the task. Contracting is where the group all agree on things, this is helpful for coming up with the whole idea, or even smaller details.

We should work to get to know each other, this will help us as a group because it means that we will know each other’s personality types and how they work on projects.

Everyone in the group needs to take responsibility otherwise it won’t work out.
