Chapter 10 (Nathaly)

 Chapter 10 Group Leadership and Problem Solving



Chapter 10 was mostly about group leaders and group solving and working together. The first thing that was mentioned in chapter 10 was about about leadership which the definition is a process "whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal". Most people think that if you are the leader you are in charge with everything about your group and you give them task to do and they follow it, but today we understand that leadership is a set of communication functions performed by any group members based on each's unique strength and expertise, so in short to make a great leader that person needs to communicate with their group members.


Chapter 10 has to do with a lot of what we did for our first presentation and it contributed to our presentation. Our first presentation was done online and using WhatsApp and using google slides so we can edit our own slides and working on it whenever we can without having to feel rushed in the moment and that had to do with a lot communication with our leader. Our leader would check up on us to see if we know what parts we need to complete and if we have completed it. Our leader told us what was the subjects we had to do for our presentation, but let us pick it and if we needed help we can ask each other or the leader for some help about our slides.


Chapter 10 demonstrates us about problem solving and how that contributed to our presentation as well. In the beginning of communication with our group one of our group member couldn't join the google slide and we didn't know until the group member mentioned it and we were able to fix it because of communication and problem solving. That also includes with the problem we came across the day of presentation and how my computer was lagging and and the audio wasn't working on my side because of my computer, but my group members jumped in to help me with the problem and became the moderator so we were able to continue with our presentation. That made me think of how Chapter 10 thought us about problem solving and we were able to show that in our presentation that day to show other group members of how we can communicate with out team members led us to problem solving.


Our presentation wasn't the best, but it wasn't awful I think that thought my group members and I of what to do next for our presentation and what we should suspect for our next presentation. That thought us that that with great leadership we were able to fix the problem. My slides were about generation solutions and how to come up with solutions. One of the examples was brainstorming which means it's an uncritical, nonevaluative process of generating possible solutions by being creative, suspending judgment, and combining or adapting ideas. My slides also demonstrated evaluating the solutions and which ones are the best options to do when it comes to the problem solving. The five methods are the expert opinion method, the average group method, the majority rule method, the unanimous decision method, and the consensus method. 

I would like to mention the first group that presented did an awesome job of the way the group leader was in control and went smoothly. The group leader kept contact with the teacher and how he would talk to the teacher and his group members about what the presentation is going to be about and what was to be expected. The group members also delivered a good message to their classmate and how they would describe the video when the class couldn't hear the audio and also the second group did and amazing job as well when it came to presentation had great leadership and thought me a lot of about their subject when they presented it.

Chapter 10 Blog Presentation by Sebastian Nieves

  In chapter 10 we talked mainly about how to be leaders and how to be clear referents in a meeting. A leader can be created in different ways; from knowing how to control the flow of the meeting from the beginning to the end.  In particular, I had to talk about guidelines for meeting leaders, for me it was a very curious topic to talk about. To be a good leader and be able to lead a meeting there are certain points that should be followed within one; The before, during, and after a meeting are just as important as when one develops qualities to be a leader. Being able to follow a well-organized meeting sets you apart from other people when it comes to being a leader. As we discussed the day of the presentation, the before a meeting is as important as the during or after the meeting. The different topics that must be carried are not so complicated and they are truly manageable, a leader must be able to know how to handle what happens in the meeting, as well as control the time...

Summary of the first presentation 3,9 & 10, by Viena Zamora

 Chapter 10 Presentation by Viena Zamora I had a presentation on chapter 10 with my group my assigned subject was "Analyze the Problem" and "Determine Criteria for Judging Solutions". These two subjects were focused on the steps the problem analysis and judging solution.  The subject first, I was talking about how to analyze the problem. This process with each member shares their knowledge of the problem. Then, the group determines additional questions that need to be answered and investigated.  Also, some members may be assigned to conduct library or online research about the problem, others may interview experts, and you can carry out surveys to gather enough information. However, group members should help the group answer the key questions about the problem.  I continue with my presentation about the second subject "Determine criteria for Judging Solutions".  I began with What is criteria? Criteria are the ideals or requirements on which a judgment, eva...

  A blog about chapters 3/9/10 by Nathan Alvarez Chapter 3 is all about communication and how different cultures should communicate with each other for example in order to avoid situations that might be considered rude to the other culture. Chapter 3 defines culture as "a system of shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and norms that guides what is considered appropriate among an identifiable group of people" (Samovar, Porter, & McDaniel, 2012). Chapter 3 explains how behind every culture in the heart of it are its values. The values of a culture are basically what determines right from wrong, good from bad, fair from unfair, and etc. Cultures have 2 sets of values one is ideal values and the other is real values. Ideal values are values people claim to follow for example the laws in the united states don't let you J-walk but most people do it anyways and don't feel wrong about it. Real values are the values that guide actual behavior.  Chapter 9 focuses on groups an...
