Recommended: Importance of teamwork and leadership

Our group observed and analyzed Tattoo Jungle. Afterwards, we reflected on our leadership style, strengths, and weaknesses as a group. Using this information to find success in future group interactions, our group collaborated on different areas for improvement.

For example, when we visited Tattoo Jungle, each member had individual goals that they previously set. These goals were achieved by taking pictures of the shop, making observations about the environment, and talking to employees about communication within the shop. True consensus building was reached by compromise with the focus of building trust.

If the group proved unable to find legitimate values in the idea, we came to the consensus not to include the ideas in our presentation. Negative behaviors were avoided by inclusion of members, and creation of an open environment for discussion. For example, group members were frequently asked, “what do you think about that?”. This question along with other open ended questions, were one of the many ways we encouraged good behavior through …show more content…

For example, during discussion group members would often respond with “that’s a great point”, if the idea contributed to the overall productiveness of the group.

Group members also showed a willingness to work together, by coming to meetings prepared and productive.

Members also took initiative to set up interviews, schedule meetings, all while keeping in mind their designated tasks. Our decision making process, involved writing down each person’s schedules to determine the best meetings times. We established individual goals to keep the focus on productivity and we talked about every artifact, value and assumption as a group, to decide the best possible

As designated leaders are known from the start, others may emerge and use their power or ability to lead the group as well. This being said, it may be each group member’s responsibility to act in ways that will lead the team to success. With each group member having the ability to act as leader, groups members should use behavior that inspires the team to do their best.
