Working as part of a team is a successful key in any industry. The best way to improve your ability of team work is group projects. But working in groups can be difficult as every group member has different views and ideas. And there is always one person who isn’t committed to doing their work.

Here are some tips for working on group projects

·         When choosing group members, consider everyone’s skills and work ethics so that you make the rite decision.

·         Have a group meeting to discus the project before getting started.

·         Create a timeline and allocate tasks to everyone, this will keep all the members of your group motivated.

·         Make sure that the work load has been distributed evenly to each member of the group.

·         Make sure that everyone understands their part of the presentation and what is expected.

·         Create a gannt chart to outline important dates and keep track of what is due and when.

·         Hold a weekly meeting to discuss the progress of the presentation.

·         Be committed and encourage others to do the same.

If you don’t get along with one or two of your group members, remember that you don’t have to like someone to work with them.  So do not let your differences interfere with the project as it is not fair to you or the other group members involved.

Working with difficult people in a group presentation will prepare you for the real life world when you deal with difficult co workers. Just remember to lead by example and be the bigger person and not get angry with fellow group members, work out the problem and communicate with them.  

Communication is the key to Success!!!!
