Most recently, I had to work as part of a team for my Management and Organizational Analysis class. We organized the teams at the beginning of the semester and were required to create a business idea. From there, we issued various reports on strategy, structure, and culture, and developed a presentation and final report encompassing the development plan for this business. I discovered that working in a group can be challenging due to differences in working styles and personalities. Conflicts can arise and team dynamics are hard to manage. As a team member, I sometimes would take lead roles of organizing research assignments, meeting times, and the production of a final product. However, I helped others and received help in return. Each member contributed in his or her own manner-someone would invariably step up when the need arose-and there was always a system of checks and balances.
