  • Essay / Team Organization and Interaction During Teamwork

    Team Organization and Interaction During Teamwork In this essay, I will discuss my thoughts on team organization and interaction during the first and second mission. First, I will present my vision of personal and team development during the preparation and presentation of the first mission. I will describe the roles of the team during the preparation period for the first mission as well as during the actual execution of the presentation related to the first mission. I will look at the transformation and changes in the team when a new team member is introduced. I will also discuss the impact of the new team member on the team roles and the adaptation process during the second mission. As a conclusion, we will attempt to describe, evaluate and summarize how I think the changes have influenced future teamwork, interpersonal collaboration and my personal development. Formed based on psychological profiles of team roles, gender and nationality, our team's first mission was an opportunity to immediately start informal and open discussion with other members of our team by exchanging technically advanced and modern interactive communication channels (Skype, Facebook, etc.). By exchanging these primary private lines of communication, I felt (as others also believe) like I was being exposed. And being exposed is something I only allow to my close friends and people I believe in now, and this fact somehow motivates me to establish closer communication with my new friends – my colleagues at the team. These thoughts became evident from day one, when I included 4 additional friends in my Skype account that I had just met last weekend. Knowing our online status made it possible to establish close communication during the day and schedule online meetings for preparation for the first mission. Even if the team roles according to Belbin Q ware are clearly assigned, I noticed that team colleagues are more comfortable when the team roles are not clearly defined, so everyone tried to organize themselves or contribute to group tasks in the way they deemed most appropriate or appropriate. Even knowing from my professional experience that people can change roles within a team, I also found that teams need to have a clearly defined organizational structure and roles to which appropriate tasks would be assigned. Otherwise, all decisions must be made by consensus, which can slow down thinking, bring decisions to the personal level, and sometimes even lead to division within the team..
