Description

My COURSE is Leading Teams. Department of Organizational Developing Leadership.

Course Description:

A big part of organizational life takes place in groups. This course focuses on theories of group dynamics and development and focuses on ways that we can effectively lead and participate in groups. Facilitating teams, assessing the development of a team, influencing groups, group roles and group decision-making processes and the dynamics of creating effective virtual teams will all be explored. Students will work in teams in this class and will integrate class learning with their work experience on teams.

Assignment 1: Coding Exercise: you have to read (( class 2 pages 13 – 17 )) attached

Group Observation and Analysis Skill Development

Why: Learn about the intricacies of group behavior and about subjectivity and objectivity in assessment of behavior. You’ll practice coding of team member behavior and learn to assess inter-rater reliability.
What: 2-page paper about what you learned about perception and group dynamics, group observation and analysis, and/or interrater reliability with your partner. (Note: This assignment isn’t intended to build coding competence, rather to create greater awareness of the intricacies of objectivity in group interactions.)

Who: You and one other member of the class

How: Find a YouTube version of 12 Angry Men. View the film clip, or the entire film if you’d like. Each partner should code the transcript independently. Then, compare codings with your partner, calculate and discuss your inter-rater reliability and explore the reasons for differences in ratings. Each partner writes a 2-page paper on your experience of coding and your learnings. Include your inter-rater reliability percentage in each person’s paper, however each pair only needs to supply one copy of the actual transcript ratings.

ME AND MY PARTNER KRISTEN COMPLETE THE CODING ( 12 Angry Men Transcript (8).docx )

you have to write what i learn from this movie and exercises.

For example: DON'T COPY THIS, JUST I WROTE FOR HOW TO YOU DO.

Group Observation and Analysis Skill Development

Group observations are unique with differences based on individual objectivity and subjectivity. In this regard, persons may pass a different judgment in consideration of a given factor that is completely the opposite of another person judging the same action. In a group, it is possible for individuals to be moved by their subjectivity or the objective and motives that they develop from a given action. In a similar manner, while coding the 12 Angry Men play, I established separate transcript coding as well as ratings of the film.

According to the findings, the inter-rater reliability established are based on different factors as shown in the table below.

12 Angry Men GDOS Coding Assignment 12 Angry Men Transcript 1st person: Look at the rain. There goes your ball game. Man with hat: It’s already shot. Besides they have thejinfield covered. Someone states, Say could I see that knife for a;? 2nd Man (Walks up and says): We’re still tied up six to six. It’s five after six let’s get some dinner. 3rd: Why don’t we wait until 7 o”clock. Give it another hour. 4th man (calm light voice). There is something I’d like to say. There was this whole business of the stab wound and how it was made. The downward angle, you know? 5th Man (deep dominant voice): Don’t tell me we’re going to start with that again. They’ve been over it and over it? 4th Man’s response: I know they did but I don’t go along with that. Now the boy was five feet, seven inches tall. His father was 6’2”. That’s a difference of seven inches. It’s a very awkward thing to stab down into the chest of someone who is more than ½ a foot taller than you are? Me P P CP CD P W Kristen P P W FLS CP W Agree? F F Y P W N 5th Man responds to 4th Man: He gets up takes the knife saying, “Give me that. (the 5th man gets up from his seat, the 4th man sits down. There is some intimidation and trepidation) I’ll give you a demonstration. Somebody get up! (Fourth man looks scared but closely watches the fifth man proceed towards a man already standing in the room. No one volunteered). I want you to watch this because I don’t want to have to do it again (he stands directly in front of the tall man already standing, with knife in his right hand.) “I’ll put myself six or seven inches shorter, ok? (The 5th man squats down to shorten his CP CP Y D CP P CP N Y P D CD P D CD Y Y Y D P Y Y N N N Y height to re-enact how the murder happened.) Man 4 observes: It’s about right, maybe a little lower Man 5: “ok, a little more”. (Fifth man and tall man are looking directly at each other in a very threatening manner. Fifth man proceeds to re-enact the murder. Pulls back his right hand with the knife and lunges the knife as though he were going to stab the tall man. The tall man never flinches, is calm and in control. As the fifth man proceeds with the murder roleplay, Man 4 and the others get up from around the table, stating “don’t do that, what’s going on????? – unclear responses but actions are very clear. The room was full of intimidation.) Man 5: States to tall man, “nobody’s hurt, right? Tall man: Right, nobody hurt. (he seems to calm the group by his calm response). Man 5: He slowly role-plays the murder and states: “Now this is the way I would stab a man who was taller than I was. Look at the angle. He raises his tone, Down and in! Lowers his tone and says, “This is the way it was done. Now tell me I’m wrong. (Man 5 walks back to the table). Man 6 walks over and takes the knife to roleplay how the murder could have happened and confirms, “Down and in, I guess there’s no argument”. (The man’s demeanor was very matter of fact, convinced of Man 5’s theory.) 1 N 12 Angry Men GDOS Coding Assignment Man 7 (gets up from table): Now hold on a minute, will you? He holds the knife and says, “I hate these things”. (The tall man looks at him with distrust as man 7 grins at him.) Man 7 says to man 6, “Did you ever see a knife pick? Man 6: No. Man 7 poses to the group but singles out one individual. “Did anyone ever see a knife Frank? Well I have. You know, my back stoop, lot across the street, back yard. Switchblades came in the neighborhood where I lived. Funny I never thought of it before. Kinda forget those things Tall man states, “How do you use a switchblade? Man 7: “Well, you never use it like this (opens the switchblade). You see, you lose too much time switching hands (he demonstrates). Here’s how (he demonstrates and flicks the blade open). Underhand. Anyone who ever used a switch knife wouldn’t use it any other way. Tall Man: Are you sure? Man 7: I am sure. That’s why it made to open like that. Tall Man: You say the boy was pretty handy with the knife? Man 7: Ah hah. Tall man: Do you think he could have made the kind of wound to kill his father? Man 7: Hah. (he turns and looks at the group) with the knife in his hand… No one with experience don’t like carrying these things. I feel he’d have gone for him underhanded. Man 8 blurts out: How do you know? Were you in the room when the father was killed? Man 7: “No, neither was anybody else.” Man 8 (with anger states) “Well why are you giving us all this mumbo, jumbo for? I don’t believe it! I don’t think you can determine what kind of wound the boy might or might have not made? Tall man (another man approaches him): What do you think? Man 9: I don’t know. Man 10: states with anger, “What do you mean you don’t know!” Man 9 (in response): I don’t know. Tall man asks man wearing hat: “How bout you?” Man with hat responds: “I don’t know about the rest of them, but I’m getting tired of this yackity yack and back and forth. It’s getting us nowhere. So I guess I’ll have to break it up. I change my vote to not guilty.” Man two responds with a look of disgust and anger states, “You what?! Man with hat responds: You heard me. I had enough (and looks at his watch)! Man two responds: What do you mean you had enough! That’s no answer! 2 F F Y W FLS W FLS Y Y CP P P P N Y P P W F P CP CP P W P W CP N Y Y N N Y F W P F CP F Y Y N W FLS FLS FLS P CP W FLS F FLS W FLS Y Y N Y N N F CP P F F F Y N N 12 Angry Men GDOS Coding Assignment Man with hat responds: “Hey listen, you just take care of yourself, ok?” (his body language is threatening while he proceeds to get out of his chair and projects his head and chest forward.) Man 11: “He’s right, that’s not an answer. What kind of a man are you? You sat here and voted guilty with everyone else because there are some baseball ticket that’s burning a hole in your pocket? And now you changed your vote because you say your sick of all the talking here? Man with hat: “Now listen buddy! (the two men confront each other). Man 11: Who tells you you have a right to play like this with a man’s life. Don’t you care? Man with hat: Raises voice angrily: “Now wait a minute here. You can’t talk like that to me?” Man 11: “I CAN talk like that to you. If you want to vote not guilty then do it because you are convinced that the man is not guilty not because you had enough. And if you think he is guilty then vote that way! Don’t you have the guts to do what you think is right? Man with hat: “Now listen” Man 11: “Guilty or not guilty!” Man with hat: “I told ya. Not guilty. Man 11: “Why!” Man with hat: “look, I don’t have too. (eyes look downward. He can’t look at man 11). Man 11: “You do have to. Say it! Why?

Number of agree/total statements Sat. October 6 , 2018 Sometimes working in a group is great Sometimes working in a group is not so great Sometimes it really feels like teamwork Sometimes it seems easier to do it yourself 1) As we know….. Team Stage Matters Least productive • Stage 1 - Dependency and Inclusion • Stage 2 – Counter dependency and Fight • Stage 3 - Trust and Structure • Stage 4 - Work and Productivity Most productive 2) As we know, with teams there are dynamics happening beneath the surface of things…. “Conscious” observable or discussable behaviors, feelings, thoughts of team members “Sub Conscious” Forces beneath the surface of things that impact team functioning Above the surface A new team is started to solve a work problem, start a new work project, organize people to talk about issues… Below the surface thoughts and observations What happens? We feel the issues , concerns, and sense the energies …. We have natural and healthy reservations to talk about what we sense. So instead, we just get to work. Hoping it will work itself out • sometimes it does • sometimes it doesn’t AND we never get to the highest performing team and we often end up with stress and problems on the team because the team doesn’t mature and develop shared goals, shared ways of working , and open feedback loops. What can I do? 1. Increase understanding of team dynamics ✓ Class readings, classes, assignments 2. Develop self awareness about your own dynamics on teams – ✓ Class Activities, Assessments 3. Practice being a neutral observer of group behaviors. ✓ Coding Assignment, class activities, in your life 4. Practice team leadership and membership work skills (Ch 5 and Ch6) ✓ On your SLT , on your real life teams, Developing your self- awareness about your inner dynamics on teams What is my orientation towards authority and rules? - Dependent? - Counter dependent? What is my orientation towards authority and rules? What is going on under the surface for me? - Over- personal? - Counter-personal? “Authority orientations” in group dynamics A “Dependency” Orientation - is an orientation to conform with authority and/or follow the rules. This may be demonstrated in behaviors and attitudes with a tendency to follow suggestions made by the leader, agree with the dominant mood of the group, and generally to demonstrate a desire for direction from others and following the rules. “Counter-dependency” is an orientation not to conform with authority and/or follow the rules. This may be demonstrated in behaviors and attitudes with an inclination to assert independence from and rejection of leadership, authority, member attempts to lead or to follow the rules. Neutral or “Independent” orientation is an orientation that brings personal selfawareness about one’s authority orientation and works to demonstrate “situational-specific” behaviors and attitudes. “Interpersonal orientations” in group dynamics An “Overpersonal” Orientation - is an orientation to create close relationships with others and experience anxiety (consciously or unconsiously )in the absence of this. This may be demonstrated in behaviors and attitudes of personal sharing, attempts to connect with others and spending time in relationship-based behavior. A “Counter-personal Orientation” is an orientation to avoid the intimacy of personal relationships and experience anxiety (consciously or unconsciously ) with attempts at connection and intimacy. This may be demonstrated in behaviors and attitudes of privacy, rebuffing attempts at connection and personal sharing. Neutral or “Independent” Orientation is an orientation that brings personal selfawareness about one’s interpersonal orientation and works to demonstrate “situational-specific” behaviors and attitudes.
