Reflections of another…

The team work process for me has overall been quite a challenging experience. I have learnt a lot about myself and also about other people.  Firstly I think it is important to remember that when you go into a team work environment there are lots of different approaches team members will take to completing team work.  I also think it is unrealistic to think that the team work process is the number one priority for each team member. As with any aspect of our lives there are many outside influencing factors that both directly and indirectly affect our performance.

Primarily what I have learnt about myself working in a team environment is that while I don’t need to have absolute control over how tasks are completed I do like to have some say and input into how things are done. I also feel that I have a tendency to disengage and become unmotivated if from my point of view the group is working ineffectively or not to their full potential.
