Team organization and interaction during teamwork In this essay I will discuss my reflections on team organization and interaction during the first and second assignments. First I will explain my vision of personal and team development during the preparation and presentation of the first assignment. I will describe the roles of the team during the preparation period for the first assignment and during the actual execution of the presentation related to the first assignment. I will examine the transformation and changes of the team when a new team member is introduced. I will also discuss the impact of the new team member on the team roles and the adaptation process during the second assignment. In conclusion I will try to describe, evaluate and summarize how I believe the changes have affected future teamwork, interpersonal collaboration and my personal development. Formed according to the psychological profiles of the team roles, gender and nationality, the first assignment of our team was an opportunity to immediately start informally and openly discussing with colleagues through the exchange of modern and interactive communication channels technically advanced (Skype, Facebook…). By exchanging those primary private lines of communication I felt (as others believe) as if I was exposed. And being exposed is something I only allow close friends and people I now believe in, and this fact in a way motivates me to establish closer communication with my new friends: my teammates. These thoughts became evident from the first day after, when I included 4 more friends I had just met last weekend into my Skype account. Knowing our online status helped us establish close communication throughout the day and schedule online meetings to prepare for the first assignment. Even though team roles according to Belbin Q are clearly assigned, I noticed that team colleagues feel more comfortable when team roles are not clearly set, so everyone tried to organize or contribute to group tasks in their own way. which he deemed most appropriate or suitable. While I know from my work experience that people can change team roles, I have also experienced that teams must have an organizational structure and clearly defined roles to which appropriate tasks can be assigned. Another vice: all decisions should be made by consensus, and this is something that can slow down thoughts, lead to decisions on a personal level and sometimes even divisive results in the team.
