Performing in teams and within a community

Performing in teams

I feel like I contributed the most to my team's success in our last project because I wrote down all things the team got done each day, made it know what else needed to be done to be successful, voiced new ideas, contacted group members every day to make sure all parts were being done, and made sure my team member was up to date when absent. I didn't feel like least part of the team for the last project because my group and I made sure everyone felt equal and no one was left out of the loop. The team role I played was the reporter which is the person who write everything down each time the team meets up. Also the reporter makes sure everyone within the team knows what they are responsible for getting done and checking on the progress of the project. In the last project I didn't play any roles that I felt weren't effective, every role I am assigned I make sure to do my part. Everyone on a team need to have common goals. This is important to make sure everyone is on the same page and is determined to get the job done to have a successful turn out of the project. Some common practices I use to improve team work is making sure everyone understands the project and their part before everyone leaves.

Within a community

I feel like I contributed to my community when I see trash in my lounge of my dorm and I pick it up or even when I simply recycle when throwing out my trash. I feel like my community benefits me when I see everyone starting to recycle because I told them how everyone should start doing it and how it's good. I've felt least a part of my community when there's been meetings for my dorm and no one has told me about it. Some characteristics of a effective community is positivity, listening, open minded, feeling comfortable, and being able to voice your ideas and opinions. Having the same meaningful participation and common values in a community isn't always required but it's good because it sometimes makes things easier.
