After viewing the "Diagnosis: Dysfunction" video, it's clear that the primary deficiency within the team is a lack of mutual respect and awareness. From the start, it was apparent that the meeting participants were unfamiliar with each other, including the roles they played within the hospital. This lack of knowledge and understanding led to disputes over how to address the situation, ultimately resulting in an unproductive meeting. Such dynamics severely undermine team cohesion. The absence of respect and understanding regarding each other's roles was critical to the meeting's failure. While the diversity within the group contributed to the challenges faced, it's my belief that diversity should be a strength rather than a hindrance. In a hospital setting$$or any large organization$$diversity can provide a wealth of perspectives, enriching problem$-$solving processes. Ideally, leveraging this diversity should enable the team to converge on a unified approach, tackling challenges cohesively with a shared objective.
