CTS A | Week 2 Collaborative Skills
What are Collaborative Skills?
Collaboration skills are about working well with others and achieving a common goal. It's more than just finishing a project with a group of people. It also means building relationships with your team, resolving conflicts, and creating a work environment where everyone feels included and respected.
Why do I feel that collaborating is important?
First of all, it helps everyone work better and faster. When we work together, we can use our different skills and knowledge to tackle tough tasks and projects. One of my strengths when collaborating is communicating, while my weakness is being indecisive. As Kip Kelly, the author, explains, “Effective communication requires a substantial level of self-awareness.”
For instance, during our monument activity with my classmates, it showed great examples of bonding. My team built a replica of the Supertree Grove from Gardens By The Bay, with a hand wrapping around it.
If I had more time and budget to make a better version of my monument, I would keep it mostly the same but make the hand bigger. In my view, the bigger it is, the more value it has. The hand represents humans protecting the environment.
After doing my research and class activity, I understand collaboration is key. Giving feedback and learning from each other's successes and mistakes helps us grow. Hence, collaboration makes us feel like a team supporting each other.
