A New Job At The Bay Harbor Yacht Club

July 8th, 2015 I began working for Gateway Mortgage Group as a mortgage loan processor assistant. This environment was definitely something I wasn’t familiar with, being that this is my first office job. All of my co-workers are 40+ with children my age and I am the only employee attending college. We all have a role to play, a position to sustain and everyone has completely different personality. . In the career all of our positions play an important role to help families move into their new homes. We have to work hand and hand, as a team in order for closings to be successful. There is no task that can be completed if someone doesn’t do what is expected of them. Even if we don’t physically see each other daily we converse via email or text

Who I’m assigned to work with all contributes with a greater goal of building connections with the people you work with. The team I’m assigned to consists of my two classmates Sharah Daley and Lajoya Satberry. These two alone make an amazing team seeing their chemistry together, and even applying gamification in how why work. I tend to try my best an everything I do even if I’m new to the project, in a since I am new to media and communications all together so I feel it’s my job to become better so I can keep up and learn so I can always have an input on anything that comes my way. To secure this I’ve contacted both of my class mates to make sure we will always have a way to get in contact with one

Not to keep bringing McDonalds up in every example I give, but McDonalds has taught me a lot about working in teams. On a shift there will be a group of people working in the kitchen called the Production team. The people in the production team each has a different role to play. One person will be tasked with cooking all the products. Two people will be on one side of the prep table. There will be a manager that is in charge of the area. Each person has their strengths which usually determines which area they will be placed in. For instance in the service area there are usually 2 or 3 ladies that are designated order takers because they are fast and efficient. Other people are stronger on different

running one group for six months or longer seems quite exorbitant! The theme of this book was based on an organizational approach to effective team building skills. The fable began by giving a brief background of the cooperation, DecisionTech, Inc. which was what this story was centered around. There was a new CEO, of the corporation, Kathryn, and her main task was to create effective teamwork among her staff who were the key leaders of this company. After observing the interaction and dialogue of all team members for several weeks, she finally decided to call an off-site meeting and invited her staff members to attend. The meeting was to take place just far enough to where

The recently implemented staff exchange program between the local and overseas branch, allowed me the opportunity of travelling to the company’s St. Lucia branch for two weeks. I integrated myself into the organization as a member of staff, as well as, observed various strengths and weaknesses.

To give you an idea of what I mean let me give you an example of something that happened not that long ago. After I had gotten this business up and running good I hired a few people to man the lemonade stands, and it was not long after that that I started losing profits in the range of about 10% per month. This was unacceptable so I started a training program that has sense launched this business to the top. First thing first I made sure all my employees from that point forward were fully engaged “An employee’s rational and emotional commitment to his or her work” (Bovee, 2012, p 220) in the company. I also instituted tuition reimbursement programs for those that met a 95% performance rating each year they work with us. Furthermore, all employees have a chance to move up the proverbial corporate lander in this company which rewards those that have the drive to be more than they are now. However, for those that just don’t care about things like that we have what I like to call “Eyes in the Sky” or hey we have cameras, and mics that are monitoring everything so if you step out of line we will know, and you will be fired no questions asked! Harsh I know, but there are bad apples in every bunch and if we can get them before they spoil the rest then all the better for everyone involved. Aside from all of this we have an annual retreat for all employees and their families so that we can work on getting to know one another as well as just have fun and forget about work for a bit. (We tell all our employees that we work so that we can live and not that we live to work!) What this means is that we are not the most important thing in the world but your family is and we want all of our employees to work

Following spring break, varsity team members became unhappy and critical of one another. These behaviors were an early indication of a lack of trust needed to be addressed immediately. Trust is paramount in crew. It is important for team members to trust others to correct mistakes, allowing the boat to regain balance and maximum speed (Snook & Polzer, 2004). The early lack of trust among Varsity team members later resulted in a fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results by team members. This was verified by a diagnostic tool described Lencioni’s book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. In order to have been successful, the Varsity team would have to trust one another, engage in unfiltered conflict around team issues, commit to decisions and plans of action, hold one another accountable, and focus on the achievement of collective results (Lencioni, 2002).

Our group worked well together because everybody helped each other. First two time that we met we not to be familiar with others, our mind were not open anymore. In the meeting, we shared with ideas and thought thoroughly on every offered idea before making a decision. If there were any mistakes helped each other to correct it. We had meetings every week and we started knowing each other better. We had discussed about our work, how it’s going and going in the right way or not. Then we had a chance to ask each others. We did everything step by step. Finally everything was done on time which subsequented to reach our main goal.

A prosperous restaurant needs greeters, servers, cooks, and so forth, as well as the managers. Their ability to work as a team is crucial to its success. You may not have the same interests or beliefs of those you work with, but that cannot stand in the way of carrying out your job. The same principles and strategies are relevant and important in sports, and they can be started and nurtured through involvement in organized youth sports activities.

My feelings about the group process was a little mix at first but, at the end I felt like we actually brought it together. Beginning of the group member were all over the place and had no direction, when we were able to take a breather in just think ideas started to flow. I felt like that took the communicator to make it happen. By reinsuring the other group members that everything will go smoothly if we just don’t overthink everything.

One needs to work as a team –work attitude, bullying and dominating are restraints to growth and team –work.

Working within a group or team is unavoidable for most people. We are involved in sports teams, assignment groups, work teams, social groups and a variety of other groups and teams. Each of these groups share one thing in common, that is each requires us to communicate in some way in order to reach a shared goal or target. Therefore, it is imperative to know and understand how to work and communicate effectively with others to maximise outcomes and productivity.

When doing so the other group members were active listener, by using their whole body verbally and nonverbal. Like facing the speaker and giving eye contact and try to avoided interruption. The group also acknowledges the thoughts of the speaker by giving constructive feed back. Due to the effectiveness of the group communication, we were able to build trust, respect and understand the issues and make decision for effective change. We illustrate this by coming together as a group one again to accomplish the goal we initially wanted to accomplish. Since the first organization that we had chosen was incorrect, so we had to make the necessary changes to accomplish our goals. The other effective feature is the purpose of the group. Kozier et al (2010) stated that the effective group purpose is when “goal, task, and outcomes are clarified. Understanding and modified so that members of the group can commit themselves to purposes through cooperation” (p.401). For instance, each individual was assign a task and knew what was to be accomplished. As group we all decided to meet at suitable day and time which was beneficial to all team members, because we could commit to the group and focus on what needed to be achieved.
