In this week of discussion I felt like group
production was what got me most interested. In order to have a successful group
everyone has their own role and the amount they contribute to the group. If one
person was to not act upon their role the whole group will not reach their
goal. Like this week I got to meet up with the group for the first time, we
basically made decisions by the group’s choice that way no one is left out. The
more perspective we have on a topic it will always make our arguments stronger.
With new ideas and points of views to choose from, it makes it easier for the
group to achieve their goals. I feel like reading the chapter about how to
assign jobs to each person definitely helped make our group production a lot
better. I also though leadership roles also play a big role because without the
right leader there is no coordination and it will be harder to understand what
is the point that they are reaching. For this group production is very
important and the way your project comes out depends on how every body
contributes not just one person.
I agree that group production is a necessity to have a successful group. There are many problems within a group if one person does all of the work. For example, if one person does all of the work then the group members have little to no input on the project. Also, the one person may be good at a few things that contribute to the project but there is always going to be another group member that is better at a certain skill or utility for the project. That one person may feel like they can complete the project but they may miss a few details because of the stress and time constraints. Also, the more people that review and overlook a project, the less details and missed.
ReplyDeleteI also thought that reading about group production this week was very informative. I agree with the points you made in your response and definitely think that in order to have a successful group, what is needed from each member needs to be clear from the beginning. This helps guarantee that the work load is distributed evenly and everyone knows what to expect from the get go when working in their particular group. It definitely is helpful to have assigned jobs for each individual to help the group be productive as a whole and I also think that it is extremely important that the right person adopt the ‘leader’ role within the group to help keep everyone organized and on track.
