Case Analysis MGS
Working together in a group can be overwhelming due to the different personalities and work habits that team members bring along with them. It takes managerial knowledge and leadership traits to see the skills in each member and bring them together to achieve a common purpose. At the beginning of the semester when we were all assigned our groups I had my judgements about the individuals with whom I would be working with for the rest of the term. When I first met Logan, my first impression of him was he was a laid back guy and very introverted. He came off as someone who would be a minimal contribution to the group and rely heavily on the team. Learning that his Keirsey temperament profile awarded him guardian status was a complete shock to me. The characteristics of a guardian were the complete opposite from my judgement of him. Guardians are supposed to be hardworking, responsible and leaders. Learning all this information I believe that his fun going nature will be what is easiest to work with him. His laid back attitude is what is going to make it hard to work with him. To get the best results out of Logan I will have to give him small work related tasks to keep him engaged and responsible. This way he is well aware of the task that is going on and

He comes off as a motivated, dependable and helpful. Finding out Lonnie was a Guardian made me realize that his helpfulness is what was going to make it easier working with him. Every team needs someone that is willing to go out of their way to assist others and that is what Lonnie is. Lonnie being a little older than all of us seems a little more cautious to change than the others. This factor will make working with Lonnie harder. When working with Lonnie individually I will be more than accepting of his assistance but I will have to spend a little more time convincing him of the benefits of change in certain
Also, he is a very smart person as he says “mistakes are only mistakes if you don’t correct them”. This shows that he makes the camp better by asking the boys how they got in through the guards. Learning from his mistakes, he improves the guarding system throughout Camp X.
Following on from managing and Leadership should you get the mix right this then will lead to an effective staff team. A staff team is made up of a group of people working together to achieve a common goal. An effective team has certain characteristics that allow the team members to function more efficiently and productively. An effective staff team develops ways to share leadership roles and ways to share accountability for their work products, shifting the emphasis from the individual to several individuals within the team. A team also develops a specific team purpose and concrete work products that the members produce together.
He is very good at getting an answer for questions or making a choice if a problem arises.
“We had him for two years at the high school. He was a good boy, a good young man,” Parker said. “Everybody liked him. He was a pleasure to be around.”
He is very inspiring and is a role model for others. He inspires Gene to train for the Olympics and, although there were consequences, climb up to the tree branch and jump off. He also inspires all of the other kids in different ways. He is just a very confident and inspiring kind of person and it shows. He seems like someone that you would want to hang around with. There is however just like everyone else, a negative
John will be able to contribute to the LFA community with his sense of service through his experience with the Boy Scouts, his love of sports and his local hospitality. John has been involved in the Cub Scouts and is currently working towards his Eagle Scout through the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts is centered around service to the community, whether it is volunteering at Feed My Starving Children, helping to collect food for our local food pantry in Waukegan, cleaning our neighborhood of garbage, putting up wreaths for our fallen soldiers at our local Fort Sheridan Cemetery to putting up/taking down of the the LF flags and wreaths for special events in Lake Forest. John will bring this sense of service to LFA.
Within any successful team, you will find leaders, it need not be the manager, and it doesn’t have to be the same person all the time, you only have to look at any successful sports team to see that there are numerous leaders and within the team each person knows the role they have to perform at any set moment and can change as the situation needs. This has been well explained in the Belbin Team Architecture.
Bryce enjoys being around his friends and enjoys the extracurricular activities they get to participate in. He does a great job in expressing his idea and viewpoint on things he is passionate about and receiving feedback on even though I think sometimes feedback from his peers doesn’t matter to him. Most times in group or when with teachers Bryce is the example child or the child that would be most trusted to be the leader but if chosen not to be the leader he does good in following directions.
-What he tries to do and how he responds to events and situations (create order, lead the others, get rescued) - how this helps him grow up learn responsibility (positive)
Every year, we hire new interns and I evaluate the interns based on three characteristics. How responsible an intern works, how hard an intern works, and how passionate an intern is about his work. Out of all the interns I’ve mentored in my life, Vinny is one of the most responsible if not the most responsible worker I helped. He is always early if not on time and always can finish last

In this paper I will describe and analyze my experience working in a group situation, writing a paper on the movie 12 Angry Men. I will address therapeutic communication techniques used in our group situation. I will address any conflicts that arose in our group. Utilizing Tuckman’s group process theory, I will also address the effectiveness of our group process.
As a leader, I feel that working in a group or team is a must to see progress within the company. In order to see progress within the company, working together as a team is very important. When the employees see the leader working with as a team, they feel more motivated to work. They feel equally as important as the leader. By enhancing this equality, a team will create a concept that suits the diverse needs of the
Realizing that a group can become a high performance team is important. Accomplishing this goal is invaluable, advantageous and profitable. Once able to operate from a group to the high performing team is a great step into preparation into the big business world. Leaders and members must also realize not only how to accomplish this but that some problems will and can arise from different demographic characteristics and cultural diversity. That is if one is in such a group, which the probability would be quite high.
The science of team building is an art. The uncontrollable variables are people. Just putting a group of talented individuals together for the sole purpose of goal achievement can be met with disastrous results. It can leave individuals left feeling unfulfilled and lead to costly mistakes in the long run. While team building can be considered an art, there are some methods and approaches that can assist with successful builds. While no approach is full proof, taking time to acclimate oneself with human
