Five Stages of Team Development
When adjourning from a group, one can say there is most definitely a sense of relief. Relief in a way that you are making it one step farther. In this course, it's a release in such a way that you are one class closer to getting your masters! Its truly an amazing feeling to be done with each class and look back at all the information you got out of each class and the knowledge you have learned from your classmates. I would say that high-performing groups in a way are harder to leave because they probe you for information, they may question your tactics and your ideas just so you will push harder to find answers. In another way high performing gropus are easier to leave because you're glad you gained information, yet at the same time you are not forced to question your own ideas. Sometimes in high performing groups, although they are only trying to make you do better, sometimes statements are made that just make me so mad! I think it will be super sad when I'm done with this class and this journey in my life. It has been a wonderful experience to listen to opinions from all over the world, because I've never experienced things anywhere outside of the state of Oklahoma. I've been to a couple other states but thats it. I would never have known some of the things i've learned from my classmates if I hadnt been in this class. I think adjourning is important because it allows others to see that you appreciated them and what they did. And if you didn't they can learn from that also. It gives a sense of closure, like the end of a journey.

Shanda,
ReplyDeleteI loved your insights about high performing groups and how it can be good and bad to end those groups. You seem like you are learning a lot from others as you go through each class which also shows signs of growth which also occurs in high performing groups and why it can be easier or more difficult to leave those groups.
Thanks for sharing your insights!

Shanda,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your posts. I especially like the information that you shared about high performing groups. I to feel that adjourning from high performing groups can be both positive and negative. I think that you have been able to gain some valuable information from your colleagues. I too have learned so much from each of you. I think that it will be sad to say goodbye but there will also be relief to have finally accomplished our goal.
