Teamwork

After some initial difficulties I had, I consider the working atmosphere in the project group^a as really good.  First I had the impression that my opinion wasn’t heard, because I pay attention to different things than the other group members. During the RSDL-weeks I reread my notes from the lecture about giving feedback that was given during the intro days in august. By reading ‘The 7 habits of highly effective teens’. I learned to deal better with these issues and my tendency of perfectionism.

The result was that I contributed to a good workflow. Everyone was open to get feedback from each other. We learned a lot of that. An example was that we did not make notes during coach meetings, until fellow group member Daan Hommersom commented about it. We directly solved the problem.

“The group also worked together very constructively.”

During the first quartile I was the archivist of our group. I took care of photographing and filming important events of our process and made sure documents with notes of our decisions were stored on the Dropbox folder of our project. I think I did a good job, but I can improve in taking notes more systematically of returning events like the coach meetings mentioned above.

The next time I will try to stop small things annoy me. I saw clearly that working with positive energy is way more effective.
