Synergy and the team process

It was about 10 years ago when I was in Nepal, I as well as some of my friends had started a group and formed a social organization, named LSO-Nepal. It was a voluntary group. And with in a month, we decided to conduct a cultural program. But none member had the experience on such program and also we had to collect budget for the program. As compared in United States, it is difficult to organize such kind of cultural program in under developed countries.
We were just 7 executive members. We call the surrounding young people to discuss about the program and make a plan to get it done successfully. That meeting decided an outline for the program and also created 7 different kinds of sub-committees under the executive member's leadership and each sub-committee got the specific job and responsibilities, like sound system department, tent and decoration department, dance department, fund raising department and so on. We were very excited and highly motivated for the program. Now we became 35 members including sub-committee members. We used to work more than 15 hours a day, but still we felt very fresh. Every evening we had meeting for briefing. Because of work division, there was less chances of failure in any task. And finally program was completed very successful as we expected.
Most part our team work was very close to the stages of group working provided by Tuckman and Jensen. As described in stages, we also made a plan describing the goals and steps to accomplish our goals. Same way sub-committees are created in order to lead the different section or department of the program.
       I love and enjoy working with team. Teams can create better communication and respectful relationship. Team makes the working environment very comfortable and also helps to get motivated. I like working in group, and if it is related to public concern, I really love it. And I always expect and like to do leading role in a team.
