...Test of belbin team role: A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom has a role which is understood by other members. Members of a team seek out certain roles and they perform most effectively in the ones that are most natural to them. http://www.belbin.com/rte.asp?id=8 I can see all my classmates are being seriously in doing their personal team role test, Belbin Self-Perception Inventories. This is a test to identify the role that you play in a team. They can be divided into nine roles. The strengths and allowable weaknesses of each role will incorporate in a team. A team will become success when the members’ characteristics are balance. This test will give us a clear understanding of ourselves. However, the test is not easy; the questions are difficult to understand. Most of us were trying to get a brief explanation through asking from the lecturer. We took about 30 minutes to finish the test and are excited for the results. We had been categorized into different group of role based on the results of us. We are surprised that we can’t find the role of shaper from a sample of ….. students. Then, we tried to match up the characteristics of each role in response to the introduction and explanation of role from lecturer. This gets us to know that why each role become important and how the roles will be worked in a team. Moreover, we can verify whether the role’s characteristic is consistent with your personal behavioral...

The other two members wrote what they wanted, they didn’t even care what the other members of the group thought are u satisfied with the quality of comm.? i was not satisfied with the quality of communication in my group. if how did communication affect your work in the group since communication among the group was sub par the outcome of the presentation was not what i expected. if the group had communication with each other and not formed subgroups the outcome of our presentation would have been satisfactory. Only two members of the group ideas and input were used to write the story, and if all four members suggestions would have been used on this story the outcome of our presentation would have been greater then it was. the members of the group did not share there ideas, who knows what the outcome...

...Health Studies Group Presentation Reflective Essay Description We were placed into groups and tasked with planning a presentation on our given lifespan age group which was Adolescents. The presentation was to choose a health issue that we felt was relevant to our age group and then promote that health issue taking into account who it was aimed towards. My group consisted of myself, Charlene, Connie and Sue. We spent some time during class to plan and prepare and then had time outside of college to get together and discuss our presentation. We then had a morning on the day of presentations to finalise our plans. Feelings My initial feelings were of worry, stress and pressure over the amount of time we were allocated during class to prepare. Initially our group was made up of five people to include Louise. However, she left the course shortly after we were set the assignment and this added to my feelings of worry as to whether our presentation would be of a good standard. We didn’t have much class time to prepare as most of my group have outside commitments such as children to think about and prioritise I was concerned we wouldn’t be able to spend much time preparing and that this would affect the quality of our presentation. I had a few concerns over working with a certain group member as she had been involved in an altercation involving race and I didn’t want this issue to affect me directly. Evaluation The good points of my presentation were the fact that we were...

...Marilyn Skeens PSY 4060 Group Dynamic Reflection Paper I was very pleased with the group members that I was assigned to. I was a little worried knowing we had one male group member and six girls, but surprisingly we all had great group chemistry and had very little to no conflict. Everybody but one person in my group possessed different types of qualities such as leadership, creativity, charisma, and so forth. My group members and I were not under any pressure throughout the entire process when preparing for our presentation. We all worked efficiently, cohesively, and had great communication skills which allowed our group to perform in a very successful manner. Our initial meeting was extremely productive and we were able to see how each individual’s personality was and how much effort each person was willing to put into our presentation. Christine definitely portrayed task leadership skills. She was very goal-oriented and right off the bat, she was shooting out some ideas we could use for our lengthy presentation. She thought it was a good idea to divide up the sections in our chapter in pairs of two being’s our topic was very broad and to the point. This was an advantage to us all because it created a sort of outline that each person could work with, making the material simple to follow. Christine assigned tasks to certain members and was very easy to understand. She made sure that the group work was distributed evenly and gave us all evaluative feedback when we would...

...Avaya 1. Why do marketing and sales not work well together in this firm? The Marketing Funnel and the Sales Funnel cannot work well together because both parties work independently like two individual entities. They have different goals and some of their job responsibilities are overlapped. The goal of the Marketing Funnel is to create leads, meaning that they care more about quantity of the leads than quality of the leads. They are judged by the amount of leads they can hand over to the Sales Funnel. Meanwhile, the Sales Funnel needs quality leads in order to close the sales. As noted in the case, there is a gap between Sales and Marketing. The leads aren’t always qualified when they come from Marketing but Marketing says it’s their ‘win regardless. When and if a sale is made, Sales takes the credit. From this statement, whether it is true or not, we can see that the Sales team does not trust the marketing team. Even worse, they can put the blame on the Marketing team even though it is their own fault that they cannot close the sales. Furthermore, the Marketing does not get reward from a closed sale, discouraging them to create qualitied leads. Secondly, the certain job functions of both teams are overlapped. The Sales team has their own marketing team to generate their own leads. They also believe that their leads have a higher quality than those of the Marketing. 2. What is the best demand generating engine? Why? The best demand generating engine is not just a mere marketing...

...BioHemi, Inc. Response In the case of BioHemi’s old product, the decision on what to do is a difficult one. When meeting with the team I would consider the potential loss or gain when it comes to selling this product. If we decided to not continue the sale of the old product, then the company would face an automatic loss of 37.5 million dollars due to wasted inventory. We would also be facing a loss regarding the fixed price contracts because the company would not be generating enough profit to cover them. On the other hand if we did continue to sell the old product we would not face the 37.5 million dollar loss, and know that we would generate enough income to cover our expenses. Going into the team meeting I would discuss both options to the other members. As the accountant for the company product team I would recommend that we continue to sell the old product, only selling up to the 500,000 units in our inventory. Once we sold those units, we would no longer have the loss or the contracts to worry about. As of now though, we simply couldn’t rely on the new product generating enough revenue to cover all of our costs. There are many reasons why I would suggest this. Recovering from a 37.5 million dollar loss would be really difficult for the company. If that was to happen, we would want to cut expenses as much as possible to somehow make up for that amount. Many of the employees would have to be laid off, or fired, in result to this action. Firing those employees...
