How to work well and contribute to the general innovation of projects.
When working in a group there will be a wide range of people with different personaliters, skills and ideas. To work well in a group these traits have to be used to their advantages. This can be done by allocating figuring out who is best suited for what job and assigning them to that. This will improve efficiency, productivity and keep time and resources to a minimum. In turn this will also use all skills to the best of their ability and make all workers feel valued and appreciated.
Exchanging Ideas
Another way to utilise skills is to exchange ideas throughout the group when problems arise or when something seems like it can be improved. This will also help team members feel valued and should also build friendships and connections between workers which again will help with keeping time and resources to a minimum.

Ensure everybody is postive about the project
Jerry - Flexible
Jerry is a extremely flexible worker so this is a skill that should be utilised as much as possible for the benefit of the group. This can be utilised by making Jerry aware of the majoritiy of the work and letting him contribute to all projects where he is needed but also letting him have his own project to work on so he is not left waiting and doing nothing.
Donna - Creative
Donna is a naturally creative person, this is another skill which if used properly can help excel the group forward massively. Donna should be put in charge of anything which lacks vision and a end goal, she could also benefit like Jerry by being aware of single projects so she can give feedback and help to improve upon the work.
Tommy T - Motivational
Tommy T is a positive, motivational person and because of this can be used to make sure everybody in the group stays positive about the project and never gets off track, ensuring time and resources are kept to a minimum.
