Team Work

Team Work 

By Maria E. Rivera

In my own experience being able to work well with others has been very exciting.  Through my whole life I have been taking in consideration that most people do not share the same ideas as me. However it is very important to listen to others and always put ourselves in their shoes.  Most people have different ways to look at things, but as an adult I was put in situations to act responsible and get along with others. Trying to work with their ideas and schedule it’s a hassle that not everybody is willing to deal with, but I was able to master.  Things can work well if we act responsible. Working well with others emotionally has not been a problem at all. Yet being able to understand other’s needs is the most important thing in order to make things work. The interpersonal side of me as a mature woman makes me go the extra mile to try to set an example to show that I can work well with others.  I am always working above and beyond to assist others so we can accomplish the things we need to do as a group.

         

   I agree with the article of forbes.com that companies should look for workers that have qualities like being able to work in teams because it is very hard to deal with somebody that does not have people skills, being able to make decisions and solve problems especially when emergencies arrive can contribute effectively benefitting the company we work for. As adults we need to plan ahead use organizational skills and learn how to prioritize at work. We should be able to master communication with the other co-workers at all times, that can be an indication that we can get along and that our supervisors can trust us in many situations. If all this qualities can be implemented at work I believe things can run pretty smooth at work in regards of getting along well instead of causing problems. http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/10/11/the-10-skills-employers-most-want-in-20-something-employees/

            I also agree with the Noba blog called “Group Assignment? How to avoid disaster and collaborate successfully”, yes it is true that students can be unorganized, and it takes a lot of effort and courage to organize work in a group of people. Not everybody is willing to work in a group because in many occasions they do not enjoy working with other people or neither have the time to work with others because they work and do not know how to manage time.  One thing I would like to add to the Noba blog is that teachers can also give the students the choice to work independently in certain occasions especially when students can be disable and have lots of doctor’s appointments. In the case of Ethan his group was very successful because his group was very organized and the group had the necessary elements required to produce a good paper. This group deserve a good grade. In Ava’s situation unfortunately her group had bad consequences, because none of the students were able to get together and get organized from the beginning. In top of that they were plagiarizing making matters worse.http://nobaproject.com/blog/2014-08-27-group-assignment-how-to-avoid-disaster-amp-collaborate-successfully

In conclusion being able to work well with others can be hard to do, but if we get organized and are willing to work with a group things can be possible. It is important for everyone to be able to work together.
