Teamwork

Sample Discussion Board 2 100 Points

Groups are challenging, but there are several advantages of working as a team to accomplish a shared goal. Resources, diversity, accuracy, and commitment are four advantages of working in teams. At times physical strength or intellectual skills provide access to resources that an individual would not have access to making the team stronger than individual parts. Additionally, diverse perspectives provided by different ways of problem-solving and experiences will help the team to be stronger. When working as a team I often benefit from my parents’ experience in the world of work and can learn how to navigate my college experience, they also learn new skills from me related to technology and collectively we are able to do more together than as individuals.

Commitment to our family unit also helps us to continue to participate actively in family activities and makes us a strong team. I used those skills to work effectively with my unit 3 team and we have been very effective. Finally, accuracy was greatly improved, when one person provided important feedback to help team to avoid plagiarism errors. While the project was well done, one error of a missing reference slide almost cost us to have a terrible grade. The commitment of the team to work collaboratively to problem-solve and invite diverse perspectives allowed us to earn a great grade and overcome challenges of time management, different ages groups, work and school schedules.
