Class Support

The past few weeks in this class were great! I learned so much from everybody and I hope to carry out everything that I have learned in the future to come. I thank everyone for having my back in expanding my thoughts on the topics in this class. This class has definitely helped me to become a better communicator and to learn what it means to have a positive and successful relationship with those that I work with or go in contact with.  I wish everyone excellence and success in their specialization classes as well!! Thank you so much guys and God bless!

Adjourning in Groups

I think that high performing groups are the hardest groups to leave because they worked really hard to achieve success towards their goal. I believe that positive relationships can be formed from this as well so I think that it can make the situation just as hard to say bye to your group. I think that the primary group would be hardest for me to leave because these are people I have known since I was child. My friends are also very close to me as well and I would hate to lose them also. I wish that back in regular school, when working with my classmates that we told each other thank you for their support because we would not be where we are because of each other. I like that we do that in this master’s program. I have never done that until I started this program and it actually makes me feel appreciated that I can be of help to someone else as well as learning from my other classmates. I like expressing thanks to my classmates as well because there is so much that I learn from them as well. I think that adjourning is an essential stage of teamwork because it gives you the chance to evaluate what wrong in your experience and the lessons that you learned for future projects. That way you can make chances and hope for a better experience when working with a team.

Resolving Conflict

In my life I have had a few disagreements or conflicts with family and a couple a months ago I had a conflict with one of my coworkers. She decided that because she was older than me that she could talk to me like I was a child. I didn’t like that one bit. I know that Im young but that does not give you the right to treat me like a child, such as telling me that I need to stop forgetting things. I thought it was called being human but apparently not to her.

In order to manage or resolve conflict: 1) Communicate with that person, your situation and to listen to each other. Do not interrupt and to empathy towards each other to sort the situation out. 2) Have good negotiation skills in order to find agreement and to overcome the challenges.

These are some of the strategies that I myself need to practice in order to resolve conflict better. On the other hand, the situation with my coworker was resolved. I was mad on the inside and barely talked to her but eventually she apologized and realized that it was wrong of her because she knows that I am a great worker. She asked for my forgiveness and along those lines our relationship did get better in the workplace.
