I am fortunate enough that I had the opportunity of working in a small group of (5) medical students who organized a camp for the mass blood donation camp. My experience with the group can be classified into many aspects, for example, after the member allocation our group organized a meeting to determine our common purpose which defined the objective for all our forthcoming efforts. Further, I noticed a sense of belongingness among the members to cover for each other and work for maximizing the overall group’s productivity in maintaining flawless records for donors (Masterson and Beebe, 9). The members exerted influence over each other work to ensure maximum compliance with stipulated norms and utilize most of out time for the stated objective. All the above aspects were ratified to be perfectly practiced in our small group via effective communication which ensured sharing sensible and clearly defined goals for the entire group (Masterson and Beebe, 13).
My experience of working with the small group was definitely positive as it gave me the inputs and lifetime learning for managing and organizing takes with collaborative and coordinated efforts to accomplish tasks. The group was internally compatible to define its goals and develop competent team members who developed a sense of unified commitment towards maintaining perfect and precisely designed database of donors. This positive learning taught me the crucial aspect of primary leadership and benchmarking performance standard to ensure sustainale external recognition for the entire group.
My role in this group was of convener who ensured that the member recording donor’s information and those interacting with the donors to seek their information were mutually in tandem. Generally, when working within the small groups, I vouch for a leadership position like group effort convenor so that I can assure that all the effective members of the group have synchronised efforts towards our common goal.
