On Wednesday, we were assigned new groups for problem solving task force. My new group was assigned the task of deciding how to respond to our company, "Jack in the Box", having an E-coli outbreak. Our new group functioned well and we came up with a good solution to the problem. I enjoyed seeing how the roles formed in our new group. One person took the leadership role and we relied on him to lay down the structure for our response to the problem. He got email addresses and phone numbers from every one and sent them out. Other people in the group were always there with useful ideas. I noticed when group members were supportive, clarifying, and questioning of ideas. While I have not figured out what every person's role was in the new group, I am starting to realize the different roles that people naturally fit into.
