$29. WORKING WITH OTHERS

Unit 4-skills 2. WORKING WITH OTHERS

1a. In my opinion, I think what Amina doing right includes:

She likes to work together with others in her English class. When Amina and her group finish a task, they sit quietly and wait for the other groups to finish.

It means that she is comfortable and she can cooperate well with other team members. She knows what her role in a team. It avoids the state that one person does the whole parts in such a presentation, a project, etc.

Yep, and about the sentence, "When Amina and her group finish a task, they sit quietly and wait for the other groups to finish", I think they show their polite, their respect to other groups

1b. I think what Amina doing wrong includes:

She doesn't speak very much when working with others. When the teacher gives her a choice, she and her friends try to work together. She doesn't really like to work with any other people because they usually have very different ideas from her own.

In my opinion, she is limiting her ability in team building. When she works with her acquaintances, she, yep, absolutely feels more comfortable and relax. But, she can't face with new ideas, new things, new effective ways to work in a groups. So, I think, she needs to participate, she needs to give her opinion more and works with other groups more.

 

1.      What are some benefits of working with others?

Actually, there are many reasons why we’re better together:

In my view, firstly, When we work together, we learn faster. It means, When we discuss about a problem, there are many solutions for a problem, and it helps us increase Innovation.

Secondly, it enhances Flexibility. While working together as a team, all members are aware of each other’s responsibilities and are willing to pitch in if one person is unable to complete a certain task.

And lastly, it builds Trust among team members.

2.       What are some challenges of working with others?

Yep, there are many issues when working with others. In my opinion,

-          First, Lack of clarity:

When an employee does not know what their goal is, it can lead to inefficiency from a lack of focus or from performing work that does not fit into the larger goals of the project.

-          Second, Personality conflicts:

Everyone have their own ideas, and sometimes this can lead to the situations that  two, three, four members disagree to the problem.

-          And last, Lack of communication:

Communication helps every members know exactly what others’s thoughts. And if we don’t give our opinion to others, our projects will not be as good as our Expectations.
