Week 13: 4/18-24 Question 3: Concept - Sharing

Sharing is the concept that I want to discuss this week. In Harris and Sherblom’s text who say, “Being willing to share relevant information, resources, and responsibility is a cornerstone of a creative climate” (p.209). The authors express that the sharing of information and resources are the key steps to bring the creativity in the group. I absolutely support the authors’ expression. When we are doing the group project, our sharing is to convey messages about the information and opinions by individuals. If the sharing of these opinions is good and acceptable, then these sharing are very helpful to accomplish the task. In addition, Harris and Sherblom also say, “Without trust, we can become defensive and ruin the possibilities for creative interaction” (p. 209). In this statement, the authors believe that trust is the key to start with the sharing in group. I agree with Harris and Sherblom’s ideas. In my fellowship at church, the sharing is one of the key parts in the cell group meeting. We trust everyone in the group because we know each other for long time. Without any defensive, we have the good interactions to share our feeling and desires of the children, the problems of the family and marriage. Undoubtedly, these good interactions depend on our characters and behaviors. Under this issue, I believe that the trust in group discussion absolutely depends on time and individual behaviors.
