Insights for 6 February 2007
I cannot emphasize how much the level of dysfunction graph impressed me. I believe that it is very relevant to any organization. I also liked the explanations of what dysfunctional behaviors are. Whenever I begin exhibiting some of those behaviors, I can look at what is building to my dysfunction and try to rectify the problems. Also, when I see others who have the same problems, I can show empathy instead of frustration with them and attempt to help them cope with the events that lead to their frustration.
I also realized during this class period that I need to worry less about being perfect all the time, especially when I am new to something. I like the levels of progression: forming, storming, norming, performing, and then adjourning. It made me realize that when I begin a project, I should not expect to master it straight away. By knowing this, I can reduce my stress levels and teach this same concept to others.
We also made a list of all the stressors that can affect BYU-Idaho students. The list was pretty long and comprehensive. I can make a similar list for myself. By doing this, I can identify specific issues that are elevating my stress and anxiety levels. Once the identification is made, I can begin to address the issues at hand. This principle has universal application.
