Second week

During our tutorial I conducted the Belbin test I found out I was the explorer and team worker. I believe this is a good trait to make the group to get along in harmony.

·      Resource Investigators are innovative and curious. They explore available options, develop contacts, and negotiate for resources on behalf of the team. They are enthusiastic team members, who identify and work with external stakeholders to help the team accomplish its objective. The explorer is generally an extrovert by nature. He or she is cheerful, gregarious. The explorer is also investigative, interested and curious about things. Because explorers like to improvise and communicate with others, they will have little problem presenting ideas to the team and developing new contacts.

·      Team Workers are the people who provide support and make sure that people within the team are working together effectively. They are flexible, diplomatic, and perceptive. The team player is caring, avoids conflicts, and fosters harmony. Being someone who likes to help other people, the team player is generally considered agreeable and friendly. He or she is diplomatic and emphasizes solidarity and team cohesion.

Furthermore, in lesson we had to choose carefully our team. Thus Emma, Nicole, Abigail, Chloe and myself decided to become a team. This is due to the variety of different roles we found out we are best at through the Belbin test such as chairman, co-ordinator, shaper and completer.

Project choosing…
Mark (our tutor) gave us a list of companies to choose from to start our project work. We looked closely at the Café in Didsbury but found it challenging in what their actual aim was. We also wanted to take on a challenge that would interest us which is why we decided to choose Party in the park. This is because it’s working within the area of festivals and we all love a good festival.
