Watch what Simon Sinek has to say about leadership in his TED Talk “How Leaders Inspire Action”, then submit a paper regarding group communication. You will be reflecting on your own experience working in a group or team. This group could be one you participated in at work, school, place of worship, or in your community. Describe the nature of your group and your group dynamics. Talk about the trust, supportiveness and cohesiveness levels of your group. How well did your group define the task or project? How well did your group determine and implement a plan? How well did your group follow through on commitments? How were your group leadership needs met? How well were group resources used — did everyone participate equally? Were all ideas considered? Were team members positive in language and behavior? How well did you listen to one another? Were all points of view accepted as valid? Analyze and discuss the overall effectiveness of your group’s performance during the course of your particular team project — what worked, what didn’t work, and why. What improvements do you suggest for maximum effectiveness in the group experience?
