Being a Great Team Player!
Questions:
- What are some bad group work habits that you want to improve on?
- As you read about each of the four types of Team players, list which one(s) you quickly identify with. Why are these behaviors important to you?
- Is there one of the four types that you feel is “opposite” to your personality?
- Which other team player characteristics listed do you see that you do not possess and would like to begin to develop in yourself? Why? How would this benefit you?
- What individual tasks will be required to accomplish the job exploration project/presentation? List all tasks that you can think of. E.g., Research the topic, create graphics for the slides, etc.
- What behaviors could you contribute to the group process based on your strengths and desire to learn new skills (e.g., organize work flow, gather information, take notes, build presentation materials)? Note that this question does not relate to the 4 types of team players above, but rather to specific skills that you could contribute to accomplish the project-related tasks in Question 5.
- Why is diversity on a team important? What would happen if everyone had the same strengths?
