What did you learn about virtual teams and/or working with Breeze?

What did you learn about virtual teams and/or working with Breeze? well what i learned about virtual teams and working with breeze was that it was like working with groups in the flesh, if the group doesn't meet the group dose not get anything done. what i also learned that breeze could be very useful if the group dose meet online. if makes team work easier for people that cnnot met in person but i thick that it would always be better to have "real" meeting rather than group meetings.

Dysfunctional Role

My dysfunctional role would be that of the blamer or that is the role that i best fit. When there are problems in the group i very quickly point out the weakness in others. I am the first to say "I told you so." but i do offer some suggestions of my own which is not typical of the blamer role. i do believe that when i say i told you so it is because i am not happy about the fact that the person disregarded what i said earlier and went on to made the mistake that i had for seen.

Self Discovery Inventories

I completed the self discrovery inventories from chapter two of the Fujishin book and i found them to be quiet useful in discovery of some inner thinks and feeling about how well i understand myself. For the most part i was not suprised with the way i discribed who i am and what i believe. those where pretty stragih forward. i know that i have a strong desire to farm and that almost everything that i am and i believe is closely related to that singluar goal. i also knew that if i only had six mouth to live i would be inclinded to be active in going places i had never been and spending time with family and friends would top the list and overlap alot. when i was thinking about what i would do with the last six mouths it got me thinking about my uncle Jack who passed away last week for a long battle with cancer and i can remember what he did with his life after the docters told him that it was only a matter of time. he spent time with his family and friends he went to the places he wanted to visit and he made his peace with the world and god. he also did not give up on life and that is another thing that i found out with the inventory was that even if i was told that there was only sis mouths left i would not give up hope on a cure or more time.
I found that my strenghts are in my ability and willingness to disclose thoughts and feeling to other people. i do have the abilty to let other people know what i think about a subject. my major weakness would have to be with my voice i an not always able to convay the meeage that i would like because the way i talk is full of Umms and likes and if i am excited about the subject i tend to speak to fast and leave out important parts. I also have trouble speaking in a pleasent tone of voice because i often sound a little scared and unsure when speaking in a large group.
My inperfects are something that it took me sometime to think of but once i had them down on paper it was scarey how true they where. my largest problem would have to be time mangement i with get of task very easily and with often forget to do some projects because i am busy with other projects. but i do believe that this problem of mind will inprove in the future because i have imporved alot in this area since coming to college.
I am very thankful fo the strenghts i have both mental and physical. my ambition is my major thing that i am thankful for because with out that i think i would be lost in this world.
Overall this exercise has helped me to see what i am currently and very i need to impove to reach the goals that i have set, i need to work smarter and harder to get where i what to be in the future and if i can improve my voice skills and get priorities straight it will help alot.

how would i rate my self on Golemans personal and social competences? Well i believe that the best way to "rate myself" would be to look at my greatest strenghts and my greatests weeknesses. I will start will wahat i would call my greatest strengh and i believe that it would be in the motivation competence. I am a very commitmited person. when i have my mind set on finishing a task i will finish that task or die trying. also i have great optimism when a problem arises i will no be the kinda person to stick my head in the sand. i beleiev that my optimis is very much with my drive to achieve. i believe that if the project will have my name on it the project should be up to the standard of excellence that is required. my greatest weakness would have to be emathy because i know from personal experince that when working with other people that i really don't care about othe peoples feelings because i can be so goal driven. i know this weekness has alot to do with the competence of devoping others because i would expect in my field of business that if the person i am working with will know what they are doing and if they do not have the required skill it is your job to inform the group because it is very fast paced. i also have trouble with political awarneness because i do not think they belong in a business setting that politics sould be left out of the work place. but overall i believe that i have the abilty to work well in groups because of my strenghts that i have over power the weaknesses. that doesn't mean that i will not try to improve on my weaknesses beacuse i will and am constantly striveing for improvenment
