Q. Who were the low and high participating members of the group? How did the groupmanage the high/low participators?The group formed for Operations assignment had people from diverse backgrounds. Our team of 5 was a mix of participants with work experience and freshers. This brought diversity and new insights into our thought processes. We maintained a good group dynamics which increased task efficiency and decreased the amount of time lost due to stress and conflict.Abhishek and Raghav , who had relevant industry experience , were sincere and task oriented and generally took the initiative to start the assignment. Operations assignment was calculation oriented and required high analytical skills to solve the assigned problemsKabir was a good executioner and had good analytical skills , which helped him to solve long calculation oriented numericals.Initially Saurav and Shivam participated less in this project as they were involved in extra-curricular activities. However, the group tried to ensure uniform participation by implementing the following steps:1> Before any discussion took place, each member individually wrote down his ideas on the problem.2> Discussion only took place after all ideas were presented by the group members. 3> The ideas were discussed individually for clarity and were then evaluated.This helped us to decide the overall layout and format of the project and led to effective task allocation as per the strenghts and interests of the individuals. By adopting the nominal group technique , we increased our efficiency and reduced conflict.This activity helped in bringing out the best from the low participators i.e. Shivam and Saurav. Their inputs were taken into consideration and they were given the responsibility to co-ordinate with the group members , collate the data and prepare a good presentation. Their relationship oriented approach helped in boosting the morale of the team and kept the team together even during difficult circumstances.High degree of Cohesiveness and Performance norms helped our team to achieve high Team effectiveness
