I was a part of a non-profit group that was organized to
plan a fund raising gala. We went through all of the stages of team building;
forming, storming norming, performing and adjourning. There were good points
and low points of this team. The major thing that I noticed about our group
when we were at that adjourning stage , we were all so connected and so grateful that our endeavors proved to be a
great for success for the organization we were planning the fundraising for. To
bring closure to this stage, we all said that we would keep in touch with one another
and we had sort of a pot luck, job well done meeting to close out. It was hard to leave as we had worked well together and were successful in or goal of fundraising for the organization
The adjourning stage is essential stage of teamwork as it
allows the involved individuals to reflect on strengths and weaknesses of the
team so that these issues can be noted for future references. Adjourning reminds
us of our interdependence we have with others and how much we need others to
get along in life.
Hello Sheila,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a pleasure reading and looking at your blogs, thanks for sharing. It is almost always hard to say good-bye to things that we enjoy and things that have gone well. I hope that you know that you have done so well in sharing your life and what you have learned from the class. Again thank you for sharing!

I have talked to a few people from Walden via web but not personally or via phone. I believe when its time to adjourn this accomplishment I dont think it will be so difficult as it was in undergrad.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the future. I hope your dreams as an educator are fulfilled. Enjoy the rest of your journey at Walden.
