Essay / Group Thinking Reflection - 715
I'm tired, a little stressed, and disappointed in some of the group this week. This has been the most difficult time as a group so far. Usually everything is fine, but something is wrong this week. Although we have group discussions, our group cohesion is impaired. After deciding to do the plan one way, we ended up doing it another way. It was cool until some people started causing confusion. One person thought this way, the other thought this way. It was a disaster. Our group dynamic was all over the place. The impact this had on me was very negative. With your help, Ms. Evans, we ultimately decided to keep the outline simple. The other members of the group chose their tasks, while mine were given to me. I didn't mind being given tasks. In fact, my absence from the meeting helped me decide what I should do. When it comes to normalizing and training this group, I find myself at a loss for words. The normalization process is interrupted. There is less cohesion than usual; we didn't have as much impact this week. Additionally, relationships don't seem to be getting stronger. This makes me angry because it affects us all. Unlike the normalizing step, the forming step is quite strong. We are all comfortable (in my opinion) giving our opinions and we understand what is expected of us. There is no need to make rules, they are already in place. In my opinion, some members did not follow the rules. For my part, I broke a rule.
