Working as part of a team that I hadn’t worked with before was a great learning process for me. It became evident very early that we had different methods of communication, and we had to work to find the common ground in our communication styles. I found myself stepping into a leadership position within my group, organizing times that we would meet in person, and checking in with group members throughout the process to ensure that everyone was on the same page. We found we were most effective when we met in person, so we set aside time to get together and write collaboratively. This worked well as we were able to bounce ideas off each other and we could ask for clarification in areas that other group members knew more about. It was nice developing a collaborative relationship with my group members where we could each play to the other’s strengths and come together as a well-rounded team. I liked being able to step up into the leadership role within my group, and I enjoyed trying to find methods of communication and collaboration that worked for everyone involved.
