Blog Post 3: Group Skills

My task roles are the coordinator and the procedure developer, and my social role is the supporter/encourager.  As the coordinator, I clarify relationships and suggest ways to combine the ideas; as the procedure developer, I handle the routine tasks; and as the supporter/encourager, I praise and agree with my group members while giving them warmth and comfort.  Because I handle the routine tasks, I am like Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast.  I am also similar to the animals in Cinderella because they unconditionally love and support Cinderella throughout her journey, just as I support and take care of my group as the supporter/encourager.

As the housekeeper, Mrs. Potts watches over the house and all of the staff, even the Beast himself, to make sure that everything is running smoothly and efficiently.  She has a strong sense of responsibility and doesn't stop at anything to keep the house running.  As the procedure developer, I, too, handle the routine tasks and keep up the productivity in the group by having all of the necessary supplies on hand and by staying on task.  In Cinderella, the animals are always there for her whether she just ran away from her true love as the clock struck midnight or if she just wants to sing a song.  Such as when Cinderella is locked in her bedroom, the mice steal they key and save her because they love Cinderella so much and want her to be happy.  They continuously love and take care of her, just as I do as the supporter/encourager.  It is important that our group has that supporting/encouraging role so that group members do not become sad or frustrated.
