Initial Post Instructions

After completing the Matching Game in the Team Members section (i.e. the one where you matched team member labeled as encourager, clarifier, etc. with their description)  in the lesson answer each of the following:

Which of the positive team members are you most like?

Of the negative team members, which are you most like?

What does the chapter reading suggest that you do to correct the negative behaviors?

Revisit the Team Meeting Assignment from Week 2. In that assignment you were asked how your Big Five Personality Characteristics made you an effective team member, how these characteristics serve as a strength, and how you might navigate personality and leadership differences on a team. Given the additional knowledge you have gained over the past few weeks, what might you have done differently as part of a team member in that first week? Are you able to identify your (and others') weaknesses as well as strengths? How can you maximize strengths while minimizing pain points on the team? How have you grown (or can you grow) as both a team member and a leader?
