July 22 Meeting Notes

July 22 Meeting notes

Review of Survey

• Survey highlighted trust issue – Stage 2.
• Rick noted that within the model, the stages are not sequential. Teams can skip a stage or go through it once and find that the stage must be revisited.
• Interestingly, on the model, an unresolved Stage 6 High Performance, points back to Stage 2 Trust.  Our survey scores and ranking on the survey concur.
• Discussion of Extrovert vs. Introvert
• Significant differences in processing. The extrovert thinks out loud while the introvert thinks internally and only voices final thought. The extrovert then questions that final thought as a part of processing, but it can appear argumentative to the introvert.
• On the other side of the picture, the introvert processes internally, and does not share all the pieces of the puzzle. This changes the balance of sharing information. Within those thoughts could be a key to the puzzle for the extrovert.
• Task vs. Learning – The group discussed the balance of our focus on the task versus on the learning. This execution style may also have had an impact in creating conflict. It turned the group into co-actors vs. valued partners.
• A review of the technology impact on the team found that one member’s limited connectivity limited the team’s options for communication. Phone was the only option.
• Lastly, our team would like to ask Connie and Gary what their thought process was in putting us together. What did they anticipate would happen?

Completing the Task

• First discussion was regarding the survey.  The group decided to put a link on the blog to the survey results. This is our deliverable regarding the group performance as compared to the Drexler-Sibbet model and TeamSpeak.
• Within the comments is the evidence that we need to complete the SWOT Analysis.
• Lastly, the team finished by reviewing all the blog pages for any needed corrections including with the references.
