<p>The purpose of this individually written assignment is to review the evolution of your learning team so that you can gain new insight about how to<br />develop effective teams in the future.</p>
<p>Include references to the theoretical/conceptual basis for your description and analysis.</p>
<p>Please organize this paper into the four sections outlined here. Give roughly equal emphasis to each part of your paper.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>1. What happened within your learning team? You are expected to write about most of the following:</strong><br />A. Group goals and objectives.<br />B. Cohesiveness<br />C. Norms<br />D. Communication patterns and characteristics (including how feelings were handled)<br />E. Division of labor and roles<br />F. Leadership and influence<br />G.

Other issues which you may see as being important<br /><br />Describe the evolution of the above characteristics from the early life of the team through the middle and into the final phases of your team experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>2. Using examples from your experience, illustrate why you believe these characteristics emerged and changed as they did in terms of the interaction of:</strong><br />A. Background factors of the individuals<br />B. The required activities of structures of the course<br />C. Key events and/or other influences</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3. What were the consequences for the team? Describe and explain the consequences of this emergent system for group productivity, satisfaction, and<br />growth throughout the trimester.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>4. What were the consequences for you? Describe and explain:</strong><br />A. Your individual behavior as a member of the team in terms of your values, beliefs, goals and competencies.<br />B. The consequences for your learning and growth as a person and leader/manager. Spend some time with this part of the paper. What have you learned<br />about yourself and others that you can put to work to meet your goals for your life and your work? What are you next steps in this kind of learning?<br />(Be specific here. Relate what you&nbsp; write to your analysis of your behavior and experiences in the team.)<br />C. What are the implications of this team&rsquo;s dynamics for teams in the workplace? How can you apply what you learned about teams in your current work<br />situation? Are there some principles that can be generalized to teams regardless of setting &ndash; were any of the theories you studied reinforced? Since Pepperdine<br />uses teams in many classes, what can you apply to your next team?<br />D. Evaluate each team member using the criteria developed and agreed upon in class meeting. Assign each member a rating of 1-5 for their overall<br />team performance.</p>
