Team Dynamics

Working with other people is a necessary skill, but it has been a little bit more difficult to do completely online. Our group was a bit quiet and more reserved at the beginning of last semester, but we soon enough formed a great group dynamic that helped us to bond together and implement an awesome project. Everyone in our group has very unique personalities, but this blend of personalities made our group work very well together. The dynamic of our group included a mix of type A and type B people, creative and organized people, and goal-oriented and more easy-going people. This balance of characteristics helped to drive our group towards accomplishing our goal, but also made sure that we had a fun time during the process. This led to a minimization of stress and worry throughout the project. 

It was extremely helpful to have people with different strengths on our team. Some group members were better at posting on social media and interacting with people through that medium, some members were better at organizing our research to make great questions, and some were better at more technical things. All of us contributed equally and got to do an array of different jobs, but our interesting dynamic allowed us to do our best in each task. I was never stressed or worried about not completing the project on time or if my peers were putting their best effort into the project because we grew to trust each other so much. I think it also helps that every person in my group was simply a kind and intelligent individual that was easy to work with and was as passionate about the project as I was.
