A520.6.5.RB: Team Roles


Consider how you generally relate as a team-member.

Understanding your role as a team member is something very individuals attempt to understand.  Most people to include myself want the role of leadership when it comes to team dynamics.  I often have to self-reflect on my role when it comes to how I relate to peers.  I have learned that even at a more mature stage in my life, I must work to improve my relationship building skills as part of my daily routines at my current workplace.  I often here that team player should create positive energy by being optimistic and complimentary to team members.  Encouragements is important, however I must be honest with myself because I struggle here.  I do not like to encourage peers who do not put forth an honest work effort. 

Do you actively engage your team to accomplish its mission?

When it comes to my role as a task-facilitator or team leader, there are several improvement steps I must take to actively engage my team to accomplish its mission.  I must work hard to increase the level of trust with my team members; I must make sure my communication is clear, positive and consistent, when is come to being a positive contributor to achieving team goals.  I realize this is an area I need to work hard at but the first step to improvement starts with understanding where you stand as a member to your team.

Do you work to improve the team cohesion and collaboration?

The answer here would be yes.  Even though I am not the best person when it comes to relationship building, I have a deep desire for the team improve team cohesion and collaboration on a professional basis.  The key word here is on a professional basis not a personal basis.  I see the world as it is not my job or goal to see that everyone is happy when it come work. I deeply believe that a team needs s collaboration and cohesion to be effective.
