The other day I was talking to my oldest, high school age, nephew about working on group projects in school. Although there’s a bit of an age range between us, he described his group project experiences to be very similar to the group project experiences I had in high school. There was always at least one student who did nothing, another one who partially participated, and one or two who did most of the work.
That setup does not work well in the workplace because your colleagues do not want to pick up your slack, and your employer could possibly give you a poor evaluation or terminate you because of your lack of participation. Prepare to excel in group projects well before college and when you get into your career field.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, has his or her own particular strength. The leader of the group, which is usually obvious in the beginning of the process, should get each member of the group to write down what part of the project interests him or her most. If the interest in each person is identified, that’s usually also that person’s strength. People want to work on things they are good at doing.
Let each person create their own task list for their portion of the project. Set a deadline for the entire group to get together and present that task. These two simple steps will get the project completed without some people participating and others not.
In the workplace, everyone must participate. Employers notice if someone is slacking and who is apt to take the lead role in group projects. Practice being a good team leader now, so you’ll be an excellent team leader in the future.
Yesterday was not one of my better days. It just seemed like one challenge followed another, then another challenge showed up, and then another challenge arrived.
Most of us always know that challenges arrive in our lives for a reason, but we don’t always admit or recognize that when the challenge is upon us. All we seem to focus on is the challenge itself and what’s lacking in our lives.
The next time you have one of those days, try this simple but helpful activity. It raises your spirits and turns your day around.
Take out a piece of paper and jot down all of the things you are truly grateful for in your life. If you don’t appreciate the things you have, you won’t be inviting more positivity in your life. You’ll only continue to generate the challenges that are driving you crazy. So shift your mindset and acknowlege all the great things going on in your life!
