(e.g. ambitions, family, gender)
Policy I: Role and Responsibility
At the beginning of the project a leader is to be chosen in a democratic manner on members on willing member that wish to take the role. Leadership roles can be revoked if the current leader does not meet expectation, and a new leader may succeed the current one. A new election is to be held in order to determine the new leader.

Form compromises during disputes, the leader is to be the main benefactor during discussions in order to unify group disputes, and suggest the best settlements for a given argument.
If a leader is to not be chosen the group must come to a consensus on who may take credit for this role by the end of the project.
Group work and required tasks are to be distributed evenly or by specific strengths of a given member. Responsibilities are to be balanced by how much one is capable of doing and how adept or willing they are towards working on a given task. All members are to put their best efforts in any given task assign that is assigned to them.

If instruction are vague or a member is unsure of what must be done they are to contact the leader or other members within the group for guidance.

Deadlines are to be established for every task that is to be presented. Group members are to form a date that tasks must be completely fulfilled by.
If a group member is to not meet the necessary and required work, a violation will be admitted.
Policy V: Time and Resources
Work is to be organized and distributed when first starting class. A set goal is to be created and must be completed by the end of class.

During whole group, the teacher would check for understanding, affirm correctness, and reteach as needed.
“Each member must have their assigned portions done with at least 4 hours remaining before the
The fifth and final “best practice” for group work is to build in individual accountability. In addition to evaluating the work of the group as a whole, ask each group member to demonstrate their knowledge and participation. This can be accomplished by delegating key parts of the group’s assignment to each member of the group. With everyone having a necessary part to do, the group is assured to have equal participation from all members. Building in accountability in this manner helps to prevent the "free rider" phenomenon (Barkley, Cross, & Major,
To ensure that we succeed in the completion of the project each of the team members have been assigned with roles and responsibilities which were discussed and set out and agreed upon as a group. They are as follows:
Mary Parker Follett may suggest a solution to the self-interests in Kerrie’s organization by including the goal of promoting all sides enlisted in the project. This is referred to as a win-win approach that makes use of the solutions benefiting the community. In this regard, the society will combine forces with the aim of achieving a common objective. Thus, a panel must use the human diversity to brainstorm on a project before it is eventually implemented. Handling leadership in certain filed will require a situational leadership so that the progress of the project can be monitored on a step to step way thus tackling issues in an organization that may pose the hindrance to project implementation (Walker, 2013).
Work individually, and/or with others, as both a team member and group leader, to complete tasks and evaluate own and others’ performance using given parameters.
Class, you have been assigned into teams of 4 or 5. You need to discuss amongst yourselves how the duties of the assignment will be divided and the manner in which it will be presented to me. Working together will ensure that all parts will be done well and on time.
The early phases of a collaborative group must establish direction and workflow rhythm to ensure that deadlines and team accountability are present. Creating of a team charter that includes insights and agreement of the whole team is the most vital step to serve as the foundational structure for which group participants will join forces to complete assignments. A shared leadership model, rotating weekly leadership responsibilities, provides a balanced effort in maximizing team talents and distributing all modules among the entire team. Learning the ability to lead from the front in motivating teammates toward assignment objectives, as well as leading from behind in becoming a follower behind others’ leadership, provides a more holistic understanding of the team dynamic. A group set in this type of structure will provide an outlet to encourage, empower, model skill development from one participant to another throughout the team’s involvement together.
If a group member is absent on a day that work is due, they must tell the group leader a day in advanced and have all their work that they are responsible for ready to be turned in. All group members have to stick to the provided goal to
Some norms include the importance of attendance and what members should do if they are unable to attend, and how communication occurs (Toseland, 2001, p. 40). For example, if a person misses a meeting, they can expect an email that recaps what we did in the previous meeting. However, we cannot truly accomplish a project without that member 's feedback and part being executed or implemented. In a task group, communication, cohesion, consensus and the performing stage are values and norms of the group (Running An Effective Task Group). Our chapter demonstrates cohesion by recognizing members in OTMs and our member of the week initiative. The goal here is for members to have a sense of belonging and appreciation for their dedication. The
The group had three separate meetings. The group first meeting consisted of the Initial stage. The facilitator informed the group the purpose of the group meeting, set the group rules for the group. The facilitator informed them that it was an open group and that any student could join the group (R. Toseland and R. Rivas, 2008).
