Diversity_In_Team_Members

Diversity In Team Members Dealing with diversity and individual differences within teams may have positive or a negative impact. The diversity within our study group has proven to us that differences do exist within teams such as; Ethnicity, Age, Gender, and Personality traits that leads to effective and ineffective productivity. The diversity of our team members is based on one Armenian male in his 20’s, a Korean female in her 40’s, and a Portuguese female in her 40’s. This example illustrates the notion of perception, as individuals with different upbringing, various types of experiences such as age, and personality traits. However, diversity within our teams helps us in dealing with our differences which can impact on how effectiveness or ineffectiveness our productivity may be. The factors that contribute to perceptual differences and the perceptual process among team members are dealing with conflict of differences. For example: age differences; we feel that maturity comes with age and life experiences. Nevertheless, stereotypes of an older person looking at a younger person, tends to minimize the experience of the younger person comparing to an older person. Differences between the personality traits such as in a male is agreeable, extravert, and open-minded.
