For the first part of this assignment, use your textbook and the following three TED talk videos.

Build a tower, build a team

How can groups make good decisions?

When $\text{'}$I$\text{'}$ Becomes $\text{'}$We$\text{'}$

After watching the videos and reading the text, describe two different perspectives on how groups develop and function. Compare and contrast the two perspectives for similarities and differences.

Think of a group or team you are a part of currently or have been in the past. Address the following questions.

a$.$ What was the group$/$team$\text{'}$s purpose $($social$,$ work, family, task oriented$)?$

b$.$ Describe the different types of relationships between the members of that group. Did the different types of relationships between the group members enhance or inhibit the group's functioning? Explain

C$.$ Apply the stages of group development from Tuckman's theory to your example.

d$.$ Discuss how the group$/$team behaved and$/$or changed at each stage of development?

e$.$ Did the group$/$team experience a barrier at any stage? If yes, were the barriers resolved and how? If not resolved, using what you have learned in this course, how could they have been resolved to achieve a more positive outcome? If barriers were resolved, explain the strategies that promoted effective work and progression through barriers. $.$
