Assignment
Task
Reflect on your experience of working as part of the group in Assignment 1 using concepts and theories from Topic 6: Groups & teams, and relevant academic sources.
Answer the following questions in your reflection:
- What were your main challenges in working in the group and what were the advantages?
- Which elements of group dynamics affected the group's performance, and how?
- What did you learn about group work from this experience? How will you prepare group performance in the future?
Reflection is about application of theory to understand your own behaviour and/or behaviour of the group. As a result, reflection enables learning from one's experiences by using both, theory and personal experience. As you are required to make references to the relevant OB concepts and theories, make sure to use four quality academic references in the report.
This assignment should be written in the first person as it is based on your personal experience.
