Friday's class with Kathy Kirwin thought me a Iot about the importance of teamwork and communication in a group environment. Without these essential traits it would have extremely difficult to perform the tasks given to us successfully.
The first exercise we were tasked with was simply introducing ourselves to one another. While this was a great way of bonding with one another it also showed me the importance of confidence and approaching someone in the correct manner.
The next task showed me just how important teamwork really is. We were tasked with sorting pieces of lego blindfolded. At first I was unsure of the importance of such a task, however, as I struggled to perform such a task with any success I realized the importance of communication and teamwork. If I had listened to the team leader when he was relaying instructions the outcome would have been far more successful.
The next exercise involved passing a ball between members of a group. Here communication was key in order for us to navigate where the ball was meant to go, this was especially the case when more balls were added in. The final exercise involved bringing a bamboo stick to the ground using only our fingers. Teamwork was essential in this exercise as if someone changed the pace it would all fall apart. This was highlighted by Mia Hamm "Because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.
In response to Dylan Ward's entry , I agree that it will take time to develop and gel as a team. It was clear that I was not used to working in a team and at times I did indeed struggle to cooperate. However, over the coming months I should become much more competent in a group environment.

I believe that the quote highlighted by Daniel Below holds a steadfast correlation with the aim of last Friday's session with Kathy and what I was able to take away from it. The first of the three exercises that we were tasked with involved lowering a bamboo stick to the ground while adhering to specific guidelines. In this exercise, my classmates and I had to use communication and trust to ensure that the task was completed correctly and efficiently. Everyone had to be on the same page, But 'Leaders' and 'Followers' also emerged within groups. There needed to be individuals to make decisions, but also individuals that could follow orders. Although some people chose to take charge,  the requirement for others to follow orders was also shown to be an essential part of a team project.
The second exercise we partook in involved the moving of a ball between members of the group, again underlined by strict rules. Communication was key in this activity as all team members had to be aware of the path of the ball, as when more balls were added in it began to get more hectic. All team members were given the opportunity to to put forward ideas and suggestions, so the best possible path could be determined.
In the final exercise, communication and planning played a major role in completing the required task. Team planning had to take place and each individual had to take responsibility for collecting a certain object from a pencil case of junk, while wearing a blindfold.Trust was paramount as the use of blindfolding really emphasized the concept of dependence between teammates, and I believe that we worked well a s a collective as each person was able to help each other out.
In reflection I believe that Mia Hamm's quote holds true, especially after completing the session on Friday. The team is only as strong as its weakest member, and the full effort and trust of each member was necessary to achieve the designated goals. I learned that  a strong team member is able communicate well, must have extreme confidence in his/her peers and must be willing to make personal sacrifices for the good of the team.
I Wholeheartedly agree with the insights made by my classmate Harry, who highlighted the imperativeness of having both 'Leaders' and 'Followers' on a team. He describes how there needs to be someone to take charge and drive their fellow teammates to achieve a collective ambition. Harry also illustrates how a leader must be open to criticism and new ideas, not just to provide his/her peers with instructions.

After attending Fridays class with Kathy Kirwan I began to see in action and understand better the importance of teamwork in order to complete tasks successfully. The various activities we did clearly highlighted what can be achieved by communicating and collaborating with team mates who are all set on reaching the same goal.
Perhaps the most significant piece of learning occurred on Friday when Kathy stopped a game before we really even got started which involved high levels of communication and participation of each member of the class with regards to describing various images. Kathy explained that there was no point in continuing with the exercise because as a group/team we were not comfortable in truly engaging and talking to each other in a manner that could achieve the end aim of the task. I think this was a good indicator in showing that it will take time to develop and gel as a team but essentially the accomplishments via teamwork can always outweigh those of the individual.
In response to Dylan C entry I agree that ' Communication in solving team events is one of the most important traits to utilize.' This is due to the fact that without communication, a team is unable to function and reach their full potential. It is a requirement which can pull average individuals together and go along way in acting as a great team.

Harry Johnson                          The session on Friday, although meant as a way for everyone to get to know each other a bit better, was a useful way to try and use skills that will aid us all in the future. Each task had the focus firmly on not the individual but as a collective unit as if one person wasn’t willing to work together the task was made even harder. What I found most beneficial about the day with Kathy was the need for both “leaders” and ‘followers” in order to complete each task. Without clear instructions from an individual (especially in the blindfold exercise) the whole group or team would suffer and if those who were given the instructions didn’t fully listen once again the team would struggle. The quote from Mia Hamm “because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”Each game seemed to have a difference emphasis on co-operation with the bamboo game requiring the person in the middle to control the pace of the group and those around him/her to go at their speed, if one member didn’t the whole group wouldn’t be able to complete the task. Same with the blindfold game where one person was spoken to by Kathy and they then had to explain the rules to the rest of the team. This required clear instructions as we only had two or three minutes to listen and understand the object of the exercise.In response to Brian’s entry I would have to agree that communication and listening are essential characteristics of a successful team. The leader most be open to ideas and potential criticism from the team they are within but that also requires the other team members to be open to listen and follow the instructions given to them.

Friday's class with Kathy Kirwan was an amazing opportunity for us all as a class to bond and slowly but surely begin our journey as one large group. The quote chosen by Daniel, I feel, is exactly what we all learned in Friday's class. All the tasks we completed had be completed by being a team. If one person had decided to take over and attempt to do everything themselves without any regard for the others in the team, the entire team would have failed and the tasks would have been left uncompleted.

Doing these tasks with a team taught me a lot about myself that I had previously not known. I learned that when the team was relying on me to deliver instructions that would ensure our success, I took on the role of the leader in a way I didn't know I could. Although I usually prefer not to lead, I found that I was confident and willing to try new things so the team could succeed, which is what I think the quote is trying to get across. Everyone in the team was encouraged to give their ideas and taking different aspects of everyone's contributions created a stronger game plan than what would have been with only one person's thoughts.

In response to Harry's entry, I definitely agree that there "was a need for both "leaders" and "followers" in order to complete each task." During the tasks especially the bamboo game, the entire team would have failed if everyone was taking leadership and giving instructions. Everyone would be talking and nothing would get done. This clearly shows that for the good of the team everyone is sometimes required to be a good "follower". In order for a team to succeed, everyone needs to be willing to work together and above all listen to each other.

# data[].attributes.body
During Friday's class with Kathy I saw how important and necessary teamwork is inorder to complete any task, be it athletic or academic. As I participated in this class and all the exercises I realized what we can accomplish as a team, and how everyone plays a role in achieving and completing an assignment.

Friday's lecture envolved everyone taking part and using all the skills that teams need to possess like communication, corporation and trust. This was vital to learn as they are needed in every team.

At the beginning of the class we were shown a quote my Mia Hamm who is an American soccer player and truly understands the meaning of being apart of a team. In her quote she references alot of essential aspects but the one that stood out to me was " I rely on my team " and In my opinion this is the most important line in the quote because the foundation of any team is trust, and this was highlighted during a number of the actives we had to do during Friday's lesson.

Another point that was mentioned in Mia Hamm's quote was " the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion." this also reveals how everyone works together to help one another because it is a team effort and not one person will reap all the awards.

Overall I believe that Mia Hamm's quote and lecture on Friday with Kathy really underlined the importance of teamwork and show what people can achieve when they work together and strive for acommon goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Friday's session with Kathy Kirwan really showed me that teamwork is required in all aspects of life and not just on the sports field. While Mia Hamm was most likely discussing the importance of teamwork on the field in the quote given to us by Dan below, it has now become quite clear to me that whether it be college or even the workplace, teamwork can help us to achieve our goals and to be more successful in anything we undertake in life.

I believe that the task that in which we were asked to write "Transformational Economics" without actually physically touching the pen. We were given four pieces of string (one per person) and asked to write the above words. It was a great example of how important teamwork can be in order to complete a task successfully. The importance of teamwork was most evident when a group of four lads tied the string to different pieces of the marker and they then wrote "Transformational Economics" with such delicacy that one would believe it was written without completing the task. The lads success shows that while working as a team, tasks are easier than they are as when undertaken by individuals. This task also showed me the various ways people view tasks and that by each member of a four person team giving their own individual opinion on how to complete a given task, that you now have four ideas instead of the one you would have had. Taking pieces from everyone's ideas can give you one extremely successful solution as opposed to one relatively mediocre solution.

In response to Dylan's entry, I certainly agree with his views on the importance of communication within a team. Dylan stated "I learned that communication is one of the most important factors to help achieve your goals". We undertook several different tasks that required communication in order to succeed. I saw both sides of the spectrum; A team succeeding due to good communication and a team failing due to poor communication.

Overall, I think that Friday's session with Kathy was a great success and it was a great insight into the importance of communication and teamwork within a group.

# data[].attributes.body
In response to the quote below, I believe this is a perfect example of what teamwork really is. The mia Hamm very much conveys what it takes to be a team and the sacrifices that come with it. To be a team everyone must buy into what they are doing and do everything it takes in order to achieve the end goal.

After attending the session with Kathy Kirwan last Friday, I learned a lot of skills such as communication, teamwork, trust and discipline. During the game with the bamboo stick in which four team members had to bring the stick to the ground with just one finger all at the same time, it became obvious that good communication was necessary for us to complete this task.

In a different teamwork based task we had to write the words "Economics through Transformational learning" without touching the pen itself. We were given a piece of string and a pen and different teams worked out different methods. It showed me that groups all have different ways of achieving things. It is this difference of opinion that makes a team unique. This task was very beneficial and displayed interesting results.

I am in full agreement with Gerrard when he said that "A team which acknowledges the diversity of opinions within it is often the most effective". It is this diversity in a team which ultimately defines it

# data[].attributes.body
After attending Kathy Kirwan's class last Friday, I learnt a lot about teamwork skills. We did a lot of different activities that helped us to become closer as a class group. Which I found very helpful and important. We did different activities and were given different tasks to follow. For one of the activities we had to bring a stick to the ground only using our fingers. It seemed simple at first but turned out a lot more difficult than I expected. Overall, I learnt that it is very important to think outside the box and come up with unique way of completing the task while still following and the rules. For example, if you added a little weight to the stick it made the task a lot easier to complete. This was a creative way of thinking which can be very helpful and is an important skill to have.

For another task we were in groups of four. Three of us had a blindfold and there was one team leader. The leader was given an instructions sheet for the team to follow. We weren't allowed to talk to each other which made the task very challenging. From this task we learnt that it is important to trust people and to make sure everyone is clear on the instructions because each person can interpret them differently. In conclusion, I found the workshop fun, very beneficial and I learnt a lot.

In response to Jennifer, I agree that trust is very important when working in a team and the blindfolded activity really highlighted. To complete a task successfully it’s very important to trust your team and the leader.

# data[].attributes.body
Friday's session with Kathy Kirwan was an eye opening session to me as it showed me the importance of skills such as communication, teamwork, trust and listening. I learned quickly during the first task involving the bamboo stick how important these skills are in order for a team to complete an objective. I had to communicate effectively with my team members in order to complete the task. Two important skills in this task also were leadership and the ability to follow instructions clearly. Sometimes you would have to communicate what exactly you wanted your team members to do in order to complete the task and other times you would have to take instructions off your team members in order to complete the task. This task showed me how important it is that you can communicate with others effectively and be able to take instructions off others and apply them to the task at hand.

The second task also showed me how important communication is and also how important leadership is as well. In this task four out of five members of my team were blindfolded, while one, the leader of the group was not. The leader of the group explained how the people who were blindfolded had to take certain pieces out of a bag and arrange them according to size. Once the task started the leader of the group could not help the other members of the group. If the other members of the group did not listen to the leader of the group at the beginning, then they would not know exactly what to do when the task began. This task showed me how important a skill listening is as if you did not listen to the leader of the group you would not know what to do.

In response to Evan, I agree with his point that it is important that you are able to trust your team completely as there will be times that you may have to rely on your team to help you complete a task

I found the class on Friday to be insightful as it led me to a better understanding of myself, but also what impact I have on a team. The first activity Kathy had for us was a simple "Dating Circle". We introduced ourselves to one another unsure of what to expect, some were nervous, some were confident and others in between. I thought the activity was to simply introduce ourselves to one another, but it was evident to me how important first impressions can be, from the first handshake, to eye contact, to overall body language.

The second activity required teamwork to be successful,we were required to lower a bamboo stick as group, with only our fingers. It seemed simple on paper, but harder in practice. It was in this activity that I could relate to the quote that "I'm a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion". As I had to adjust myself to the rhythm of the group in order to complete the goal. This provided me an insight to just how powerful a group can be.

I found the task of passing an object from person to person to be simple yet surprising in the lesson that it teaches you. While it was easy to coordinate passing objects from person to person, like a system or a group project, it was clear to how much of a problem arises from a disruption in the group evident by the disruption in the flow. Overall these activities provided a better understanding of myself but also the extent to which  I can perform in a group.

I agree with Isabelle's view that "I think being able to see the team as a whole and not as a group of individuals". As this was crucial in completing each and every different activity, successfully and efficiently.

# data[].attributes.body
In Friday’s session we looked at many different aspects of teamwork and communication which are essential in allowing teams and individuals to operate as efficiently as possible. To start the session off we did more communication focused exercises that allowed us all to get to know each other better. This was great in helping to break the ice. It was also essential in allowing us to work better as a team in the activities later in the day.
The first two teamwork-based activities were heavily focused on everyone within the team working together. It was extremely easy to see how this could be applied to professional life. A key component of any team is there ability to work together in solving a problem or getting a job done, and that’s what Fridays session highlighted. The final teamwork-based activity was one that was much more focused on leadership and followership, and how both are just as important as each other in the makings of a successful team. Its often said that any good team needs a good leader, but it’s also pivotal that within the team, those who are following the leader to so out the best of their abilities or else any plan that has been made will not be carried out very well. This makes Mia Hamm’s quote extremely relevant, and true. When in a team its important to remember that you are a team and not just a group of individuals. You need to work for each other or else no goals will be achieved.
In response to Padraig Collins’ writing, I agree very much with what he said about how the bean bag game we played resembled that of a scenario seen within a workplace. Even if everyone in the team was working as one unit and carrying out the job at hand well, sometimes obstacles are thrown in, (in this case it was the tennis balls Kathy added) its vital that everyone has the skillset to be able to adapt to the ever-changing task of the team. If one person slipped up or lost concentration, that halted the flow of the entire time. Not only does this highlight the importance of every team member giving 100% effort in a task, it also shows how everyone in a team has a role and is vital to the continuity and success of that team. Once again showing how Mia Hamm’s quote relates, with the team being the champion, not the individuals within the team.

# data[].attributes.body
In response to Padraig's comments "that things don't always go to plan and you need to be able to think quickly", I would agree wholeheartedly because in the workplace and in the market things change by the second and it's important to be able to adapt and deal with the new problem in hand.

# data[].attributes.body
Upon reflection of the group work done on Friday, I came to understand more about what it means to operate in a team. The tasks given to us tested both communication and independence within the groups.
I realised quickly that not everybody sees tasks in the same way and communicating a course of action that is agreed by all members can be an effective way forward. This requires a level of sensitivity to people's personalities and views. As different people prefer different forms of communication I found myself changing the way I spoke to each member so as to achieve the goal ahead of us in the best way possible and to do so as a team.
Relying upon others for information in the final task was a very beneficial opportunity to test how I receive information and to study how others communicate instructions. Overall I found the experience very beneficial as it has given me different angles of viewing everyday interactions. Reflecting upon how we act and the results we produce is a very effective way of improving on our interactions and I will bring this learning with me.
In response to Ryan's view that "having a team leader willing to listen to all team members who put forward ideas and giving their own view results in a better outcome overall", I would totally agree. The strength of a leader comes from the strength of the team around them and their commitment to the same cause.

# data[].attributes.body
After Friday’s session, I have realised the importance of being a member of a team. We encountered different tasks that required us to work as a team. The first task required us as a team to hold a bamboo stick with our fingers and bring it to the ground without anyone’s fingers letting go of the stick. This required good communication amongst the team members. The second task required members of a team to be blindfolded, while one team member acted as a leader. The job of the blindfolded team members was to sort through a pile and group similar items. The leaders job was to delegate who was going to group what. This required good listening skills amongst the blindfolded members of the team. As a member of a team, I realised how important communication was amongst the team. I realised that in a team, you have to rely on one another to complete the task at hand. You have to trust that each person is going to give it the best of their abilities, in order to complete the job. When it comes to teamwork, it is important that each member gives it their all and does not let their own individual commitments get in the way. It is also important that team members realise that it is not the individual in the team that matters, but rather the whole team matters. This is an important realisation because if the team wins, we all win.

Response

In responses to Brian’s entry, I agree with him when he says “In my opinion a good leader is one that raises everyone up by listening and delegating”. It is important to have good communication and listening skills, not just in a team, but in everyday life. By delegating, it allows for work to spread amongst everyone and tasks can be completed quicker and more efficient.

# data[].attributes.body
In Friday's class with Kathy Kirwan I learned that communication is one of the most important factors to help achieve your goals. Even though i was taken out of my comfort zone initially i quickly began to interact with my classmates. Once everyone got comfortable with each other we can trust each other to work as a team. We had to trust our group leaders and develop our ability to follow instructions. Everyone made the effort to compete and try to succeed in the tasks set out for us.

communication in solving team events is one of the most important traits to utilize. For example, the game with the bamboo stick needed a lot of communication and concentration by the entire team.I found this experience extremely beneficial as it forced me to interact in the games. I learned that asking questions is crucial in gaining insight into the rules of the game.

In response to Karl's Entry, I agree that their are alternative routes to achieve a goal and certain captain's can provide creative techniques to achieve the end goal. This shows us that by combining each others ideas we can have very creative outlooks on projects.

# data[].attributes.body
After Friday's class with Kathy Kirwan I gained insight into the importance of teamwork when completing a task or achieving a goal. Throughout Friday’s class we completed different tasks that encouraged us to work as a team. One of the first tasks we completed was where we had to get a bamboo stick to the floor without anyone’s fingers leaving the stick. It forced the groups to communicate clearly to each other. As a team we had to move in sync ensuring no one moved quicker or slower than any others. It requires the team members to trust each other. I found that it related to Mia Hamm’s quote perfectly “I rely on the team, defer to it and sacrifice for it”. As a member of a team you must rely on every single person to carry out their role to complete the task.

The second task we completed was one where three members of the team were to be blindfolded and had to sort through and remove clips from a bag in all different sizes. We decided that each person would take one of the three sizes. It required teamwork and dedication for the task to be completed. The role of the captain was to delegate the tasks and guide the team in forming a strategy that allowed the team to work in the most efficient way possible. I believe that this also relates to Mia Hamm’s quote “I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion” we had to work together to be successful. We relied on each other and that is why the team was successful overall.  In my opinion a good leader is one that raises everyone up by listening and delegating.

Response
In response to Alex’s entry, I agree with his point that a leader should communicate clearly to the team. If a leader clearly communicates to their team it allows them to work more efficiently and complete the task quicker. Communication and delegation are key aspects to teamwork. I agree with Alex that is it the job of a leader to communicate with the team which allows for a clear vision to be followed.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never worked in an environment like what we were presented with on Friday and I found it surprisingly beneficial to observe not only my own behaviour but also that of my classmates. I realised the importance of leadership and followership, I noticed how different people became leaders in different situations. I would like to work more on developing my leadership skills as these are evidently crucial for professional life. I think being able to see the team as a whole and not as a group of individuals allowed the activities to run smoothly without conflict of interest. When lowering the stick, every single person needed to understand the objective and we needed to cooperate to ensure we were moving at the same speed. The leader instructed when to move which I saw as a very important role, but the ability to follow these instructions was also extremely valuable, as I think pushing to be a leader in a group where you may not be the most capable could lead to problems. Seeing us overcome challenges and watching how I became more comfortable instructing others and acting in a team-focused manner helped me learn a lot about myself and my capacities as part of a team.

In response to Catherine’s entry, I must say she had some very interesting insights. What I found impacted me the most was how she remarked that teamwork “called attention to the need for patience with other members and maybe to consider other people’s pace and ability when completing task”, I hadn’t considered this during class but looking back it's clear that others people abilities obviously won't align with mine and that a team should try to find each individual's strengths and weaknesses. I will definitely remember this in the future and aim to improve my understanding and patience when working in a team.

The Essence of Collaboration - Catherine Dineen 

# data[].attributes.body
After Friday’s class with Kathy Kirwan I truly realised the importance of teamwork and communication with others in order to complete a task or achieve a goal. In a task to bring a bamboo stick to the ground it required a lot of focus and depended on everyone in the team working together and in sync to complete the objective. It required a lot of faith in the other members of your team and their faith in you to help achieve the goal. This activity showed me that no matter how skilled an individual may be some tasks require teamwork. Mia Hamm’s quote really helps put teamwork into perspective.

In another task involving blindfolding it shows how communication and delegation of tasks is very important. 3 members of a team are relying on their leader to delegate tasks to them and provide them with any information that can help in the completing of the task. The job of the leader is to communicate clearly and make sure the other members of the team are clear on what they have to do within the team in order to be successful. I was the leader and in-charge of informing the team of the tasks. It was very frustrating to not be able to communicate during the activity as talking would have simplified the task at hand.

In response to Ryan, I agree that having a leader that delegates the tasks can be very benefical and efficient but the team must be willing to listen and oblige and the leader must be open to any ideas from the team.

# data[].attributes.body
After Friday’s class with Kathy, I have realised the importance of communication between the members of the group. I especially realised the importance of communication during the activity where, as captain, I had to communicate clearly with other team members and make sure they knew what their tasks were while they were blindfolded and could not communicate with each other. While the other team members were carrying out the task I had to observe what they were doing which allowed me to see if my message was communicated clearly.

All captains had different ways of delegating the tasks which showed me that there was many different ways to eventually reach the same end goal. In my opinion, a good team leader is one that listens to all members of the group and takes their advice on board and their ideas into consideration.

I feel this links back to Mia Hamm’s thoughts about team work.” I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion”. There is nobody more important than the team and I feel it is incredibly important for all members of the team to feel the same way. If there is one outstanding personality within the group then this might lead to the downfall of the team.

In response to Colin’s entry, and his opinion of the activity with the bamboo stick, I feel he that he is right and I agree that “each individual had as much impact as any other”. I feel this is incredibly important and can be easily related to the real world. If any member of the team does not pull their weight it may eventually lead to the downfall of that team.
