The first stage of group development lasts only a few days (or weeks). During this stage, members prepare for their new roles and responsibilities, and the atmosphere is generally positive. To prepare for any challenges that may arise in the future, the group should focus on learning about team processes. ❖ Storming During the storming stage, conflicts and disagreements are common. Members may experience frustration, resentment, and anger, leading to increased stress levels. As a result, the group's progress may be impeded. The norming stage is used to address individual and group concerns. The group establishes its own rules and begins to develop trust among members. As the group's interpersonal skills improve, its overall performance improves as well. ❖ Performing At this point, the group is ready to begin working on its tasks. Members have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities, and the group is committed to achieving its objectives. The performing stage begins when the group starts working, and it continues until the task is completed. ❖ Adjourning
After completing the task assigned to them, the group moves into the adjourning stage. This stage marks the end of the group formation process. Once the group's goal has been accomplished, the group is disbanded.
- Characteristics of Team Dynamics Here are some similar characteristics of positive team dynamics: Common Goal A team's success depends on having a shared purpose, and each member should be aware of the objectives. It is necessary to establish the goals and ensure that everyone is working towards the same target. If members are unclear or have different opinions about the goals, it can result in conflicts and affect the team's performance. Effective Communication Open and effective communication is crucial for a successful team. Team members should be able to communicate freely and express their thoughts and ideas without fear of retribution. It is the responsibility of team leaders to ensure that communication channels are open and that everyone understands each other. Collaboration and Cooperation
of their work. They should also lead by example, demonstrating the qualities and behaviors they expect from their team members. B. The importance of team dynamics in the success and/or failure of group work Teams consist of individuals with varying personalities, skills, and expertise. Positive team dynamics play a significant role in how well team members collaborate, work together, and achieve their objectives. Positive dynamics provide numerous benefits, one of which is improving individual productivity. Here are some reasons why:
- Effective communication: Clear, open, and effective communication is crucial for teams to perform at their best. Teams with positive dynamics must communicate problems, team concerns, and constructive criticism to improve their performance.
- Positive relationships between team members: Mutual trust and respect are fundamental to relationships in teams with positive dynamics. This fosters a sense of safety when sharing ideas, encouraging even shy individuals to contribute.
- Quick decision-making: Openness to listening and considering different viewpoints leads to quicker decision-making, with fewer disputes or conflicts.
- Creativity: Teams with positive dynamics prioritize innovation, promoting the creation of new business strategies and allowing employees to try new approaches.
- Growth: Positive team dynamics not only contribute to achieving team objectives, but also promote individual growth, openness to new ideas, and more efficient workflows.

unconventional for others to pursue. Despite my analytical focus, I also value imagination and creativity, and I strive to apply my insights in practical and innovative ways. B. Definition of CDP A self-improvement plan is a technique that involves exercises aimed at gathering information, experience, mindfulness, evaluation, goals, and self-awareness directions in the areas of study, profession, and expanding connections. A self-awareness plan is a schedule of activities that considers your priorities, needs, skills that have helped you achieve your goals, and assets. It should be an evolving document that improves over time. A Personal Development Plan (PDP) is a self-improvement strategy that summarizes an individual's desires, talents, abilities, educational background, and practice. It is a tool for getting the system in motion. Self-improvement plans can also include career and interest goals, specific circumstances, opportunity and chance investigations, a backup plan (Plan B), and a copy of the usage history. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the most popular way of documenting and reporting the skills, knowledge, and information an individual acquires while working. It serves as a reminder of what you have accomplished and established as routines. CPD is crucial in ensuring that an individual remains up-to-date with the knowledge and skills required for continual self-improvement. It also helps in committing deeply to one's group, particularly when serving as a leader. CPD provides individuals with more opportunities to advance in their career, take on new roles, lead, influence, mentor, and offer advice to others. As I worked on the "The Importance of Google Drive as well as Online
Storage Locations" project, I chose CPD classes to enhance my knowledge and skills. The project helped me learn in a structured, sensible way that improved my general knowledge and abilities. It also enabled me to identify the knowledge and skills I needed to acquire quickly to show improvement.
