Communication Results
For the past eight weeks I have worked closely with a group of five other people with the sole intent of being able to experience what it was like working in a group and being able to analyze the work being done and how it was accomplished. For the most part I would like to say that it was a positive experience, but at the same time it was a very difficult thing to accomplish. I would like to start by discussing the different personality types within the group. The group was made up of six people and out of the six, five were SJs (Kelly, Kristin, Nakun, Nat, and Rafae) and only one was a NF (Corinne). The SJs very much followed the "Guardian" example by assigning tasks and having them completed and done on time. While in the meantime, the NF/ "Idealist" was great for coming up with ideas, but very poor on implementing and completing the things that needed to be done. This made things very frustrating and hard to deal with especially when it was time to complete our project and everything needed to be in. Corinne was still coming up with ideas for our project in the seventh week of it. We finally had to tell her that the ideas were great but there was no time to expand the project further and we n
Our group didn't run into many problems. Actually, we all played "Devil's Advocate" at one time or another. Most people were getting nervous with Corinne not having her things in and Rafae not showing up for our final meeting. I observed for the first week, just to see where everyone was going with the ideas we thought up and took things from there. On the other hand, I could definitely see where "Group Think" and other decision-making problems could come into play. I liked playing "Devil's Advocate" to some of the ideas. This worked out great for us because it was hard trying to figure out with everyone's schedule a day and time when everyone could meet. The actual verbal communication was sometimes hard to understand with Nakun and Nat. I think we all went with the flow for a majority of the project because we knew of the time restraint. I think I surprised myself because I know I'm not always the easiest person to get along with. I didn't talk much because it seemed like everyone was on the same track. Kelly and myself were in charge of real estate, Nakun developed the finance plan, Rafae wrote the business plan, Nat did the technical things and kept everyone in check, and Corinne was in charge of researching the franchise and marketing. (Many of my family members have worked at DePaul a majority of my life and one could use the phrase I have grown up at DePaul. Everything did go smoothly and there were no major problems or great barriers to overcome.
