Further, individuals did not understand the type of kills and capabilities that each one possess.
• Feelings:As per my feelings, it can be stated that each and every member within the team should know the skills and capabilities that other possess. For this purpose, to reduce the rate of confusion, there should be proper communication. This is an effective way with the help of which aim and objectives can be achieved.
• Evaluation:In accordance with the evaluation make by me, the rate of conflicts among member was high and all the members are able to understand this situation. This was it can be stated that all members within the team were able understand the condition that are faced by me (Wei, 2014). In order to overcome this condition, all members provided suggestions so that I will be able to reduce the rate of issue.

So as to raise interaction level, groups activities were planned and informal meetings were conducted (Park and Son, 2011). This way people got to know each other and the fear that I have to communicated with others reduced.

In accordance with the experience I got to identify that my communication skills are not effective. Further, there are different set of skills ans capabilities that individuals have. However, when there is not proper interaction, then one do not get to learn from each other (Brownhill, 2014). This way the development that I need to have was not their. Thus, it was important to have proper communication skill that I lacked.
• Review:Within a group, the roles and responsibilities are divided. However, due to lack of communication skills, it was not able t understand the part of roles has to be played by me. The rate of confusions and conflicts were high due to ineffective communication (Cotton, Field and Dorsey, 2013). Further, the tasks which were planned was not completed on time and the quality was also getting affected negatively.
• Plan:There are many online test available and these type of test are helpful enough to know where I stand in communication. As per the areas identified, I will take help from by seniors and they will provide ways with the help of which interaction will be raised. In addition to this, informal meetings will be conducted to know the perception that other team members have for me.
