Can someone suggest "Stratagies for working in groups"?

There's the old "divide up the work and combine them later so that I can go back to sleep" method.  Or the "let's have everyone work on one part of the project at the same time right now so we can discuss" method.\n\nWhen the group is actually together, I'm guessing it's most productive to have an agenda so the team doesn't get sidetracked.  Then, have a sort of group leader make sure everyone contributes and stays on the agenda.

I've found that incorporating group activities is a good way to break the (sometimes) monotony of a class, and it gives the students a chance to apply the concepts you've been discussing.\n\nYou can also try bringing in outside materials - guest speakers, films, music, etc., that can be used to illustrate whatever you're teaching.\n\nAnother way is to have the students teach particular chapters or concepts; it forces them to learn and sometimes having students teach will keep their peers' attention better!\n\nA straight lecture for an hour or more does no one good. Good luck!

You could do it on the topic of induction- Basically how people are dealt with when they start a new job. Perhaps base it on a job you've had and show the strengths and weaknesses. Were you given a welcome pack, introduced to your workers, shown how to do your job, given a contract etc, shown where the fire exits were etc?. How could it have been improved.? Or perhaps ask some workers in your college and see what they feel would have improved their induction to their job.\n\nThis link shows an example of  this aspect of human resources. \n\nhttp://www.human-resource-solutions.co.uk/Areas%20of%20Interest/Induction.htm

Try to think of an example in your life, family, or community where people were stronger for working together.  You can then tie is into larger world or political examples.

If you have a lot of each, make a separate heading for each, just as you have them listed.  If you only have a few of each, I would group all of them as leadership experience.

Group work, hands down.  Students learn more from each other than they learn from lecture.  Give assignments to groups (even just simple worksheets) and have them turn ONE in for the whole group.  Never let the groups grow beyond 5 or 6 members and assign the members randomly to their groups.  You'd be amazed how much they learn from each other and how much they enjoy and retain the material

Speak to them in private. A person in charge doesn't appreciate being undermined in front of the people they're in charge of (unless, of course, you want to undermine them!:). Be very polite, but firm, and back your reasons. The traditional argument paper form could help here:\n\n1. State problem/solution\n2. Reasoning for solution/Reasoning for it being a problem\n3. Counter any responses you may expect/Interpret why the current solution is being used, but say why that's wrong\n4. Sum up\n\nOf course, a conversation is different than a paper. . .

I don't have much experience with this, but I have been doing some reading in motivational psychology.\n\nYou might want to do a search on Douglas McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y management philosophies.  Basically, Theory X is a "control and command" type of management style and Theory Y is "growth" type of style.  You can also check out Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs".  Basically, the idea here is that you need to fulfill people's basic needs first: food, security, love/friendship, ego before they can start to think about other things and grow.\n\nAlso check out the Jan 21st issue of "The Economist", which talks about new ways of organizing American businesses.

They are the top three things you need to successfully work in a group with others. The one who tells you what to do and helps you out is the leader, who plays the leadership role.  In order to work together, you have to participate in helping what needs to be accomplished. And all the motivation comes from the workers in the group

Be prepared, Have an agenda - Allow people their say BUT control it so it does not deviate from the main theme. Ask if everyone one knows each other - if not ask for an introduction from each participant to include name and function within company/ business/ meeting - Always appoint someone to take the minutes of the meeting - this you can always refer back. Above all enjoy it and keep it focused.

Network your current employees...\nThey obviously have friends that they could get contact details for..\nWith all those pyramid type business building schemes, it is best to start within the already forged group and resouce from within - then with those new contacts - you do it again, and again and again!\n\nI'd appreciate 5% of profits for this information ;)

(1) Find at least one positive thing in each of the people that work with. And concentrate on that one thing to exclude the 99 other things that they do that activate your negative feelings. The 'one thing' could be as trivial as the pleasing colour of their shoes. (2) Choose to work well with a colleague who is the least incompetent/disorganised of the group you work with; as you build trust and success with this colleague, word might spread and your colleagues may learn that they have to adapt their behaviour in order to obtain your (valued) assistance. (3) Create an anchor to obtain a state of calmness to maintain your composure when the office situation deteriorates - see the link below

Workload - write down everything you do/need to do, and dedicate time to each one. Plan what to do. Talk to your boss - they should be able to help.\n\nOffice politics - very difficult. Don't commit comments on people.\n\nLearn some disarming phrases. For a newbie, phrases like "Oh, thanks for the warning, I'll look out for that." when people are talking bad about others are good, then quickly change the subject. As you mature into the job, don't be frightened of saying things like "Well, I've never had a problem with them, to be honest".\n\nDo NOT get involved in any massive slagging sessions, no matter how tempting. It can all come back to you.\n\nDon't get upset if someone doesn't like you. Just realise they aren't worth it. Get on with your job, forget about them, worrying about them won't do your career any good.\n\nDon't be afraid of reporting anyone if you feel they are making your work difficult or unpleasent. If you show you are tough and won't stand for nonesense from the start, it'll pay off in the long run.\n\nI'd rather be called names than be a patsie to everyone at work.

Start thinking of different ideas to consolodate job functions.  Be innovative.  Multi task.  Start delegating tasks or asking people to do things around the office.  Be a leader.
