This week was really long, but also great. We were finishing up our group project for MCOM. In my Information Systems class we also had a group project that was due on Monday. I had different experiences in both groups and I feel my MCOM group experience was way better - and it might have to do with the team charter at the beginning of the semester!

Creating a charter at the formation of our group solidified our work efforts. We all got on the same page and kind of let each other know that we have each other's backs. For example, I woke up late one morning we were going to meet, I sent my group a message letting them know, and the response I received was, "Don't you worry." We divided up our work evenly and we all completed our required tasks. When we met to work, our meetings were basically 100% focused (with an appropriate amount of fun). 

In my IS group, there wasn't a lot of cohesion. It seemed that some members just took everything upon themselves. So it was less of a group effort and more individual effort. 

I definitely feel like my MCOM group pulled together and became unified in our tasks - and it was an enjoyable experience.

By working together as a group, people can more effectively accomplish the required tasks. Going forward from here, I am going to do the best I can to make groups groups. That includes callings in the Church. I am the Young Men's secretary and I work with the Deacons in my ward - and I am going to do my best to unify the leaders and the Deacons to make the most of the Young Men's experience.
