I feel as though high performing teams are not easy to leave but the members are easier to work with because everyone within the group are interdependent and highly motivated to get the job done. Forming bonds with high performing team members is essential when considering future projects. Groups with clearly established norms are more effective to work with because each members has grown to respect the opinions and differences of others within the team. It is easier to work through conflicts because team members have established trust. With trust being established the team is able to work towards a common goal. One of the groups that I participated in that was hardest to leave had to have been my childhood dance group. At the end of the season the coaches held a banquet and slumber party for myself and all of the members of our dance group, most of us said our goodbyes and parted ways, some of us kept in touch after the season.
I feel as though I will keep in touch with a few of my colleagues during the adjourning phase of this Master's program. The adjourning phase is abruptly approaching, I have about 4 more courses after this one and I will be completely finished with my Master's Degree. I hope that I can keep in touch with colleagues in order to establish bonds, share and exchange information and utilize resources. I appreciate the discussion forums because they allow us to get to know one another, converse, and exchange important information. Adjourning is an essential stage of team building because it it allows group members to reflect on their accomplishments and decide whether or not to part ways or whether or not they will take on future projects.
