for example:
- the project team worked as a cohesive unit from the very start. At our first meeting, we went
through a forming stage where we worked through a transition process involving mission analysis and
planning. We discussed the project requirements and how to effectively complete the task based on
each other’s strengths, weaknesses and abilities. Then the team began to research and investigate
ideas to include in the report. These action processes caused some conflict since the report was a
limited length, and we had to decide on the most important and noteworthy information. This
storming stage was short-lived and we quickly progressed into the norming and performing stages of
team development. We soon realized that we were short on time so we made definite plans to
facilitate and organize virtual meetings.
The team was composed of 5 members, among which there was a great deal of diversity ethnically,
gender-wise and deep-level diversity in our personalities. The diversity within the group, allowed
us to explore many different views and perceptions, as supported by the value in diversity
problem-solving approach. Each member played several roles, including the energizer, encourager and
harmonizer, as it was required of them. The project was mainly an additive task, where everyone’s
contributions made up the final result. All members had a unique sense of humor that kept the
process fun and light-hearted. This attitude allowed for interpersonal processes such as
motivation, encouragement and relationship-building to occur very naturally. Due to the pressure
that the time limit enforced, team harmony did not result in groupthink behaviors, because we
ensured that the project was the most important priority.
