Here I am, getting excited to see and experience what will come of this group. I've already witnessed our productivity and cohesiveness as a group with the first project... but I feel that is only a trailer for what's to come, only a glimpse of the awesomeness that is "The Faithful Hodgepodge."
As I've been interacting with my group members, I've realized it's not so much WHAT we do as a group but rather WHO we are as a team. If we identify ourselves as a solid team and work as a unit, the WHAT takes care of itself. Therefore, we are in the process of building trust and respect for each other, so that when we identify the WHO, we recognize a well-knit group that efficiently gets stuff done and has a good time doing it.
There we have it: that's my positive outlook. We definitely have the potential and now we have to act upon it. I'm not kidding, everyone seems committed to not just to getting work done but committed to each other. That's definitely not as typical in most groups. I've had great work in a group but the whole process felt cold and impersonal. I'm excited to see us bond as team members and in effect, see continued outstanding results.
I personally know I need to take my responsibility: I can't sit back and hope it unfolds nicely. I'm wholly part of the process. So on my part, I'm going to make an effort to get to know the members more and look for ways to bring their best strengths forward. This will be a great team, I know it!
Joyfully,
Andrew Battiato
