As I naturally appear as a team leader when working in groups and as the time we had between the acknowledgment of the work to be done and the presentation date of the seminar was very short, I took a role closer to a team leader on the organization of the seminar, more than during the accomplishment of the other activities.
In fact, during the organizing of the seminar, the work was led by Eva and myself as we have good organisational skills and are hard workers. We were able to quickly narrow the information we needed to put together the seminar.
We had already worked together as a team with these same people so it was quit easy for me to lead this project as I knew who would be able to do what, and I was aware of the strength and weaknesses of each one of my team members.
Then, on the second assignment we had to do, I left the team leading to become a “normal” team member. In fact, as we asked to play an extract, the leading was left to a more artistic person: Timothée. I was the one who came up with the movie, and thanks to my English skills, I was in charge of rewriting the script so that it was easier to understand the play without seeing the movie.
Finally, on the last activity, as Aurelien is the one that came up with the idea for the scavenger hunt, he was the one who lead the project. I was myself helping Eva on the PowerPoint and brainstorming in order to find ideas for the movies and songs we could use for the game.
So it seams to me that during the team work, I usually had the role I always endorse depending on the kind of work that is asked for. But even though I very often am the team leader, I gave up that role when someone from the team had more appropriate skills to lead depending on the work to be done.
