Given your reading, models, team experience and five reflection sheets: What insights have you gained about your ability to build viable relationships and effective teams? 2,000 Words. Ensure that you, at a minimum, consider the following aspects:  Theory: Appropriate models for analysing team / group dynamics (Tuckman; Lewin; Belbin; Thomas & Kilmann; Schultz; Grossman; etc.) Please ensure that you use these in an integrative manner and not as an eclectic smorgasbord.  Personal Insight: Think about other teams you have been a member of. Compare and contrast these experiences. What do these experiences say about the kinds of team you would be most/least effective in?  Personal Awareness: What are your core strengths as a team player and how well did you establish trust with others?  Situational Awareness: Culture and power relationships  Action: What are the areas that you need to work on to enhance the viability & effectiveness of team/groups?
