Contributing to a group/team

 

 

Definition:

 

In any activity, where you work with at least one other person, you will be a member of a group or team. Within the group or team you will have to give (contribute) something that helps the group or team. Each member of the team or group is expected to contribute and this contribution can determine whether a team/group is to be successful.

 

Impact on Performance:

 

Positively contributing to your team will have a positive effect on their performance. For example a dancer may have an idea and suggest how the dance could be developed making the dance look better. In a team if your teammates see that you are fulfilling your role, marking an opposition player for example, then they will work hard to ensure they fulfil their roles. It is important to ensure each member of a team contributes for their overall success. A negative contribution to your team and not fulfilling your role can result in a poor performance from your team. Having a player perform poorly or become negative has impact on the game and your fellow players as they begin to lose faith in your performance
