- What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates?
- I would like my teammates to be committed to the project and put in just as much effort into the final product as I do. I would like them to work creatively as well, because I value innovation more than anything in projects. I would like them to be open to everyone in the groups ideas and be willing to meet for extended periods of time, even on weekends, until the presentation date.
- What kinds of things make teams go smoothly?
- I think for a team to work cohesively, compromises need to be made and everyone needs to communicate well with one another. Every member should have a voice in the project and everyone else should be respectful of that voice.
- What kinds of things make teams not go so smoothly?
- When group members are less invested in the project and rely on others to pick up their slack, it fosters a lot of resentment in the group as a whole and it is almost impossible to regain group functionality.
