As part of our Personal & Professional Development class at itb we were given an assignment to carry out a literature review on the following statement 'Orgaisations today are demanding more from their workforce than ever before. They require individuals who are not just well qualified , but who are multi-skilled, diverse, flexible, team oriented and have an ability to communicate effectively.'
In researching for the Literary review I found evidence of how Team Work is valued in the workplace and how the kind of individual who is flexible and who works well in a team is a valued employee.
In our Business Administration class were divided into Teams for in-class assignments. We were given questions to answer and we had to present our answers on a power point presentation.First we had time to discuss the questions and when we agreed on our answers it was taken down and put into a power point.
In the Practical Horticulture class we are regularly working as a team. We are first given a demonstration and then we set about our task as a Team. I found this to be a very good way of getting everyone involved in the task and I have noticed on many occasions how people with more experience on a particular thing will help out their classmate readily. During the practical class I have taken photographs to add to my diary.
'Teams naturally integrate performance and learning' (Katzenbach, J. and Smith, D. 2000).
