Team work

                                       

                                                      Stand on the paper

To each of our groups a large paper was given. The objective of the game was for everyone to keep their feet on the paper and have no part of their body touching the floor. In this game everyone of our teams had to squeeze as much as together.For each round that was successfully ended, we had to fold the paper in half and attempt to stand on it again and kept folding the paper in half again and again until we were unable to successfully stand on the paper as a group.

From this game also we learn many things. Some of them are mentioned below.

• How to work as a team.
• How to manage our given materials to reach our target.
• How to work in co-operation.
• How to maintain a good communication.
• How to balance the things
• Team compatibility.

                                                            The lava river

First we were devided in to 3 groups and each group had 8 members.To play the game lava river four plates were given as our materials.What we had to done was we had to use those plates and go across the lava river. The river was filled with lava so none of as cant touch the river.these plate can be placed on the river as stepping stones and can be moved around.If anyone makes contact with the river then that person was considered as fell in to the lava river and had to go back to the starting point.The team that got its team members across in the minimum time won.on the lava river there were some special point and on those point there were marks and that marks were added to our final marks.

From this game we got an idea about

• How we can work as a team.
• How to communicate with others to achieve our received target.
• To work in co-operation.
• How our leadership skills should be improved.
• In which way we can use our ability in problem solving phase and etc.

    Organising and Planning Skills

     Being organised is essential to getting tasks done.

     If you don’t know what needs to be done, and by when, it’s quite hard to make it happen by your deadline.Shapers, Implementers and Completer-Finishers are all characterised by good organising skills, and can usually be relied upon to put in place strong systems for managing projects well.

            

           Decision-Making

     Being able to make decisions is also crucial to moving things forward.

      Although it may be important to take time to gather information to ensure that the  decision is right, there may come a time when any decision is better than none.

     Group decision-making often requires compromise, and sometimes a willingness to give up one’s own point of view in favour of the group’s shared decision.

     Shapers and Monitor-Evaluators are both good decision-makers.

     Shapers, however, tend to make their own decisions quickly and then may struggle to compromise.

     Monitor-Evaluators tend to look for the right decision from the available evidence, and may be slow to make a decision if there is a shortage of evidence.

     Task-focused people are often adept at problem-solving, especially if the problem relates to the task.

      Plants look for innovative ideas to solve the problem, and Implementers will turn ideas into practical action.

     Shapers will see the ‘big picture’ and the overall plan, making sure that the solution to the problem does not result in a change of direction.

          And Finally…

          It is important to remember that all team working situations are fundamentally about working with other people.

        

PPD

  Personal Development Planning means:

 üplanning your all-round personal, educational and career development

ü recording your achievements.

Planning and developing your career is an ongoing process, not just something that you do when circumstances make it a necessity.

Whatever stage you are at in your career – looking for a new job; planning your next move; looking for ways to challenge and develop yourself – the University offers a wide range of tools, support and guidance to help you along the way.

Check out the links on the left for details of a number of initiatives designed to support your career development.

• Personal Skills for Body and Mind

Perhaps the most fundamental of all skills are those concerned with self-preservation - that is, staying healthy in both body and mind. This section of SkillsYouNeed covers some ideas that can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. My blog pages will  help to make sure that you are able to feel good about yourself.

Without good personal (or intra-personal) skills, you are less likely to be able to develop good interpersonal, presentation or leadership skills.
