Reflection on Collaboration & Conflict Resolution
Collaboration
Addressing Core Competencies:
· I recognize that there are different points-of-view, and I can disagree respectfully.
· I can work with others to achieve a common goal. I do my share.
How well do you think that you collaborate with others?
I think I collaborate well with others overall, however, I tend to force myself to do the majority of the project because I don’t trust my classmates to do their jobs particularly well a lot of the time, especially when I don’t already know them. This leads to some late nights where I’m basically doing the project by myself on the computer.
What is your current approach to resolving conflicts?
My current strategy is to compromise if my classmates and I ever have a disagreement by adding some of their ideas along with some of my own.
What could you do to improve your conflict resolution skills?
I could probably attempt to incorporate more of my classmates’ ideas by giving them full slides of a PowerPoint project to work on while I do the other half of the slides. This would allow both of our ideas to be seen without compromise and therefore lead to more unique-looking work when comparing our sections of the project.
