TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

    “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Helen Keller.

                   

 

     When I finished a project in this case a team work, the last stage Adjourning” Project is coming to an end and the team members are moving off into different directions.”(Abudi, G. 2010. The five stages of team development). In this stage we have the opportunity to celebrate if the project succeeded, or improve on the things that we have failed.

     Is important to celebrate, review the positive things, and the things we need to change in the next time, finally say good bye to everyone.

     I think at the end of the projects you learn a lot of the other’s, new experiences, knowledge, and you foster good friendships that for me is not difficult to say good bye, because I know that I will see them again. Working together is a good experience to have new relationships.

     I remember that all of my team projects have been really important in my personal growth and my development. At the end of each of them I always try to celebrate invited to a special dinner sometimes to my house, or in a restaurant. Having a celebration is essential for ongoing team development, is important  to value teamwork .

     When I finish my Master degree Program, I’m sure I’ll keep contact with colleagues that I could share and learn during this time.  I appreciate each one of my colleagues and learned a lot with their support and experience as teachers in the early childhood. I think I will go to miss the discussion, the blogs, because I read and learn of them, and also having their support helps me in being a better teacher.

“Remember teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.” Patrick Lencioni.
