Week 6 : The Adjourning Phase
After working with Jesse and Tristan to give Hannah (a 4-year old girl battling leukemia) a birthday bash, saying goodbye was the hardest part.This was difficult because we had the rewarding feeling of knowing that we worked together with a common goal of helping a child and her family. Hannah was a part of this team but did not get to celebrate her 5th birthday with us. However, Jesse, Tristan and I promised Hannah's family that we would make annual donations to the Children's Hospital which would benefit other children battling various forms of cancer.
While working on my master's degree here at Walden, I will cherish the memories, lessons and experiences that my colleagues have shared!
Adjourning is an essential stage of team work because it allows each member to celebrate the differences they made in their work to achieve a common goal. It's not the easiest stage, but focusing on how team work has benefited a cause is the best feeling in the world!
Tiffiney,
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that you were able to be part of such an amazing group that will continue to carry on celebrating the memory of Hannah. One of the worse part about working with a good group is when we have to say goodbye.
Thank you for sharing,
Christine
Tiffiney,
ReplyDeleteI commend you and your team members for honoring Hannah's memory by contributing to the care of children in need. Like you, I will also miss the weekly contributions from our colleagues. The memories, perspectives, and insights shared are very helpful and hopefully we can continue to connect in the future!!!
Tiffiney,
ReplyDeleteA team member brings their best work to the team, and when the team reaches the goal, it is the best feeling in the world (especially if you had some bumps in the road). If the team does not reach the goal, I still feel is hard because when working together we form relationships and we bond together, and each person has put their all in to it. That is what makes it sad and so real.
