Collaboration
To make the most difference to our team’s success, we should have presumed positive intentions. This is because, when we were talking to each other we weren’t very positive about what we wanted to do and how we were going to do it. If we had been more positive, it would have been easier to complete the work. I think my mother fits the best to the norms of collaboration as she thinks things through before saying or doing them. She is poses positive intentions and has a lot of good ideas. She poses questions about ideas of others so they can think about what they are doing and understand how they are going to improve on that idea. Also, she is good at putting ideas forward.
Personally, I want to get better at posing positive intentions as sometimes I am quite negative and it doesn’t help when you work in a group. Also, I want to put more ideas on the table as sometimes I have an idea but don’t want to pitch it because I don’t want to get it rejected. However, I think that I'm quite good at posing questions and providing data.
‘The Done Manifesto’ can help me with creative work because normally if I don’t have an idea, I wait till I get one and if I don’t get an idea, I get stressed about it. ‘The Manifesto’ shows that if you procrastinate then you’re just lengthening the task but if you get it done, even if it isn’t a good idea, then you know you’ve completed it and you can edit it and then make it better. It also shows that even if you make mistakes, it doesn’t matter.
The song in our video is called simple and it is from iMovie. Our theme was about how Jerry has grown as a person and the perseverance to achieve what he set out to do. I think Harry was the catalyst for our group because he was a bit more positive then the rest of us.
