Trabajo en Equipo: Las claves para el Trabajo en Equipo exitoso

   A la luz de los textos leídos, puedo señalar que la clave principal para un trabajo en equipo exitoso es sentirse identificado con las metas del grupo humano o de la organización. Por ejemplo, si en un establecimiento educacional la meta es sacar un buen puntaje en el SIMCE, aún a costa de que los niños sean segregados y no todos participen del proceso, olvidándose que lo más importante de una escuela es que los niños logren un aprendizaje adecuado, para mí sería muy difícil participar activamente del equipo y seguramente tendería a hacer "mi pega" y no me comprometería con la meta del establecimiento, porque no la compartiría. Es por eso que creo que una de las claves para lograr un trabajo en equipo exitoso es tener metas compartidas o mejor aún, metas obtenidas tras un trabajo colegiado. Por supuesto, que dependerá de las características del líder darse cuenta que es necesaria la participación y la identificación de los integrantes con las metas para que el trabajo sea exitoso. Asimismo se necesitara que el líder genere un clima de confianza entre los integrantes del equipo, para que se de una comunicación eficaz donde todos se sientan escuchados y confiados en que sus ideas para mejorar el trabajo son valoradas.
     Según el texto de aula fácil, menciona entre las características del miembro ideal de un equipo de trabajo, la lealtad entendida como llevar la verdad por delante sin segundas intenciones. En mi experiencia laboral (no como profesora, sino en otra área) recuerdo un jefe que decía que no servían aquellas personas que sólo elogiaban su actuar, que esas eran personas desleales, ya que la lealtad también incluía decirle al jefe los errores que pudiera estar cometiendo. Pero ¿quién se atreve a decirle a un jefe, "jefe, la está embarrando"?
    Eso se lograra si existe un clima de confianza y respeto desde los subalternos hacia la jefatura, de los jefes hacia sus subalternos y de los trabajadores entre sí. Entonces es necesario comprender que la comunicación en un equipo está en todas las direcciones, de arriba hacia abajo, de abajo hacia arriba y entre pares. En uno de los textos se hace hincapié en que "Actualmente las organizaciones requieren de personas capaces de relacionarse sanamente con otros. Es importante entender que las relaciones humanas sanas son aquellas en donde existe diálogo y discusión desde la perspectiva que estamos mencionando en este escrito. Es decir, personas que reconocen que lo importante no es imponer, sino comprender y llegar a acuerdos".
    En resumen, entonces para que un trabajo en equipo sea exitoso, tiene que haber un buen liderazgo, una comunicación eficaz y asertiva, respeto y tolerancia entre los integrantes. Sólo así se logrará el compromiso con las metas de la organización y cada cual podrá desde su especialidad aportar a un logro conjunto, porque no podemos olvidar que en el trabajo en equipo tanto los logros como los fracasos son responsabilidad de todo el grupo.

The Salt March

     When we gave the test of listening in the English subject, an article was on Gandhi. In a question, it mentioned the point on the march of the salt. I must admit that I had never listened on this and I wanted to investigate a bit more, because also it was a topic treated in Introduction's subject.

    Initially of the 20th century in India, still colony of the British Empire, the people had prohibited to extract salt of the ocean, since always they had done it. In effect, the Indians were accustomed to taking a bit of water of the sea, hoping that it was evaporating and to use the salt that was staying.

        But in the year 1900, the Britishers were not allowing it, because they had the monopoly of the salt and were charging imposed for the product. This rate was costing to the people in India, 115 million Francs - gold a year. Gandhi then organized the March of the salt to ask for the abolition of so unjust tax.

      On March 12, 1930, Gandhi and other volunteers began the March of the Salt for on 380 kilometers, from Sabarmati to Dandi. All the big newspapers of the world published the strange trek. 26 days later, Gandhi was gathering salt from the Indian Ocean and was inviting the population to do the same thing.

    On May 5, he organized an excursion to the governmental warehouse of salt in Dharasana. There he was arrested again. 2500 volunteers placed pacifically in front of the policemen who were guarding the salt. They were received to blows, turning out to be two dead persons and 300 wounds. About 100 thousand Indians were imprisoned.

    On January 31, the Viceroy Lord Irwin put at liberty the leaders of the Congress and invited Gandhi to converse with him. On March 4, the Viceroy liberated all the political prisoners, returned all the properties confiscated to the Indians and abolished the laws on the salt. Gandhi, for his part, put end to the civil disobedience.




I did not know that.....


The native americans are a very rich culture, they have a lot of stories, legends and traditions, this cultures are a whole new world to discover,but almost nobody tries to find out more about it. A simple example, i have no idea taht pocahontas was based in real events, i'm really uneducated in this topic, so i seek for more information about her.
Pocahontas was the eldest daughter of Chief Powhatan,reputedly the favorite daughter of the Algonquin chief Powhatan. This is the only piece of onformation that i found taht did not have any references to the famous story of Pocahontas.

Pocahontas contributions to jamestown date from her early acquaintance whit Capt.JonSmith after his capture by Powhatan's man in 1607. her legendary rescue of the english captain in the verge ofhis execution was probably part of a indian adoption ceremony (misinterpreted or misunderstood by Simth), though it is possible taht without her intercession he would have been killed. in any event, relations between Powhatan and the fleding colony improved, and Pocahontas, then about twelve years old,became a frequent visitor at Jamestown and an important supplier of foodfor the colonists. She also became an informer for the colony, warning Smith of her father's belligerant plans.( http://www.history.com/topics/pocahontas)


As a child i never thought in the background of the movie "Pocahontas", but now that i think about it, she somehow betrayed her family and her tribe for a dazzeling new worl that was coming to wipe out everything she kenw.She trusted the white man and he took advantage of her naivety.


British Indian





The term refers to citizens of the United Kingdom whose ancestral roots lie in India and the people who was born in the United Kingdom who are of Indian descent.

The term refers too the Indian born people and they had to migrated to the United Kigdom and this people are call also as Indian Britishor Indian Britons.




In the United Kingdom the Indian British are accepted and includes in the society and his culture too because the British respects the Indian Culture But sometimes this make segregation between the British people and the Indian British.

The british Indian are socioeconomically affluet because they are members of the middle cast and they are the lowest poverty ratesamong all ethic groups in Britain.



I found this very interesting because they accepted and includes the Indian British  We should act like the British because we should respects our aboriginal and we should includes in our society.
 


Lets break the barrier of prejudices!

Why we have to reject or ignore things just due to prejudices?,a lot of people cant stand things because a color,because an origin, etc, in my peer teaching activity, while i was working in my topic "indian food in UK" i found so many bad testimonies about this kind of food!,and no one make sense!,people talking about their opinions, explaining that india its a dirty country, saying that indian food is unhealthy just because the word "India " its on it,so many delicious dishes rejected just by the origin,i would dare to say that indian food is full of history and effort,a lot of years were needed to create this succesful kind of food,so,what is the main problem here?,is the same problem present in all around the world,prejudices and stereotypes, we will never grow up as humanity if we dont break these kind of "selfbarriers", lets all learn and respect the different kind of cultures living on our world,and mos important, lets enjoy it!

There is a video about Indian food on the street, enjoy it!


                       Why not considerer the Native American music?


Sometimes we forget other kind of music because we only focus in the pop, rock, and classic music, but we have not notice the great talent that exist in this tribes or this culture. They are able to show their roots and all related with them about their stylelife.For most of them, this music has a special content because is an interaction between the heavens and the earth. 

Currently the Native American music was discoverer in "the eyes of the world" becuase singing and percussion are the most important aspects of traditional music. Especially drums, flutes and rattles.Also their lyrics have a symbolism about religion rituals and social gatherings. 

Today's Native American Music has taken on such outside influences as rock, blues, jazz, country and folk. A very important thing about this music is the "therapeutic style", as psychic or spiritual pursuit. 
Some interesting is that this music has been awarded and selected for many categories around the world with a famous singers and musical exponents, is possible sees in this page http://www.nativeamericanmusicawards.com/home.cfm   
                               
Is incredible that this kind of music is very popular and it is aprecciated that. Native American music is a vast and diverse as the people who created it, and each tribe has its own musical approach and style that has been passed down for centuries and now you can reward it.

"Elizabeth became the prototype of the authoritarian ruler of the fifteenth century. A queen who ruled personally."

Why Queen Elizabeth would not marry?
when someone explained the answer to this question they tell us:
"She never married for the simple fact that by not saying yes to any proposal of marriage, (she did not say neither yes nor no)so the doors of the kingdoms of men who offered her marriage will remain open, well that  looks very good for everyone (within the Kingdom of England.) even though she was the queen and her duty was to ensure the good of the English people, I think there is another undercurrent in this decision.

Well my theory is:  Isabel was raised since childhood without a father, mother or any family or close tie, got used from the beginning of his reign to obey only her,take her the decisions about everything in her life and in her regin , because if it , had a council that advised her, she made ​​all the decisions, she had the power, so why marry when being alone was doing so well, then, what benefits had by not marrying?, maintained its authoritarian and sovereign  power, ought not to submit to any king.

Not if my theory is right or wrong, I just think that Queen Elizabeth was human and had ambitions as a human being. Is it really so crazy to think that she liked the power and would not share it?

This theory was based on what I read on the page: Elizabeth I of England
