Thankfully my current job doesn't require a lot of meetings and projects. It's pretty much a -just do your job- job. I can live with that. It's bad to say, but I'm not much of a team player. Just being honest. I try, but ideas don't seem to come to me when a whole group is depending on it. On single projects, I usually have little to no problems. But I feel like I don't have much to offer in group settings.
But, I decided to go back to school after 10 years of being out. Last semester was my first, and there wasn't a lot of teamwork stuff. But it will happen, and when it does, I feel like I'm just going to disappoint a whole new group of people. Not only do I still have trouble coming up with ideas on the spot in groups, I also have like NO time. Last semester, I did 90% of my school work during work breaks and unholy early hours of the morning. How am I supposed to work around other people's schedules? I can barely work around my own.

This is like the direct opposite of scrum and agile methods from the software development world. People do short -stand-up- meetings every morning to make sure everyone has what they need to do their work that day. They solve bad meetings by having more of them but at a faster pace. Software teams have to produce combined output that works, so there's a lot that goes into figuring out how to do that well. From this video it sounds like most people in offices are really doing their own thing and don't actually need to talk to each other very much. But this must vary widely by industry right?

None of this helps. All these tips imply that the people present know their strengths and weaknesses, which role they best fit and/or trust someone enough to let themselves be told.
The only situations that make good teamwork, are either: people who like each other (and want to work together) or who are professional enough to keep their ego and emotions in check long enough to finish the task.
If that's not the case, you're essentially fu--ed.

Well I can answer you question easily. Staying in Hostels in Europe is the best option.
Duh
Oh yeah. it works better if you're an American, bilingual, ethnic, outgoing, charismatic guy while in Europe. and the Europe where the women are gorgeous and where they love Americans that: speak another language, are outgoing and charismatic.
oooooooh God. I loved my multiple times in Europe. :-)

Thank you for this video! This is EXACTLY what I needed to get ready for this school year. As a team leader and a member of a group, the -brainstorming- part is TRUE! I can relate to every single topic presented by the video and I hope for more content like this! HUGE thumbs up! : D

I work with a friend who is my boss. And I have a hard time getting him to follow the rules, I'm glad that you remind people to speak up. My co workers are not used to it, so they normally come to me, so thank you for these videos.

From reading the notes I get that people hate teamwork and especially team meetings. I think project managers exist to do the dirty team work parts while you concentrate on getting results.
reply

I think brainstorming is not productive only if you don't have clear criterias to decide what idea is or is not valuable to achieve goals.
It all starts from a strategy.

reply

If you can-t feed everybody with one pizza you need less people in your meeting.
What-s the point of a meeting with only one person in it?
