Activity
Team Roles Presentation
Team Performance
Our team’s greatest strength and why:
We are getting better at overcoming our obstacles. People on the team are really
great about stepping in when something goes wrong, and Sam is a strong listener (useful in a captain!).
Our team’s greatest area for improvement and how the improvement can be made:
We’ve gone down a lot of blind alleys.
We just assigned roles until we realized that wasn’t right. That wasted at least two team meetings. Then, we talked
a lot about the information Fred found without really considering how it would be used in our presentation. I guess
you could say that was a sign that we got along really well, but just talking isn’t really getting the presentation created..
An insight gained about learning during this activity:
Going down blind alleys but then listening and making changes are
two sides of the same coin. So our greatest weakness and our greatest strength is the same character trait.

Name:
Jennifer

Spokesperson
Strength:
Knows how hold audience interest (she’s fun to listen to and watch) and will be a strong presenter
Area for Improvement:
Could learn to relax a little more; when she’s nervous, she gets a little sarcastic
Name:
Ken
Team Role:
Recorder
Strength:
Has a lot of experience
Area for Improvement:
Needs to be more forthright with his experience; we can learn from him
Name:
Fred
Team Role:
Technology Specialist
Strength:
Knows so much about going online and doing research
Area for Improvement:
I bet you thought I’d say he needs to stop joking around, right Professor Arbuckle? But I like
his jokes, and they add warmth to the teammeetings. No, his real weakness is that he tends to
put down the rest of us for not knowing the tech stuff he knows. That’s an affective skill, respect.

I need to learn to assert myself when I’m dismissed so others don’t have to step in for me.
