Action plan

Teamwork is not the sum of small independent jobs, but rather taking advantage of the strengths of each member to reach goals that would be impossible individually. That is why it is important to get to know the team.
Organize a previous meeting before working where you can get to know the members and their skills, in which you do not talk about work just to make clear the objectives and the frequency of meetings. In the second meeting, the tasks are distributed.
Get to know those qualities of other members that you do not have that can be complemented with your own so that the team has more cohesion and obtains better results. Also think about where you can contribute yours.
Create an atmosphere of trust based on first impressions, sincere interest in the circumstances of the other members of group and a professional attitude. Think about what acts contribute to building trust and enhance them, as well as avoid acts that detract from the energy of the other participants. It's not about good or bad, it's about team cohesion.

Accept the comments and suggestions that the rest of the teams make about your work and the way you work. What's more, ask them about what you can improve. At the same time, give your opinion in a constructive way, without questioning the lack of skill of others in things that you already have experience in, but contributing that experience to grow.
Publicly recognize the positive aspects of others. Try to discover the strengths of each team member and how they contribute positively to the rest of the team.
When your teammates have problems performing tasks, give them advice that will help them perform better and not feel demotivated, but without putting yourself above them.
Learn from your colleagues and their skills: essay reporting, use of presentation tools, planning work, communication. When you see something you would like to do as they do, ask them to show you how they learned.

To work in a team it is essential to know how to put oneself in the other's shoes, since not all of us approach problems with the same vision. A creative person with little taste for practicality is not the same as a manager who may seem authoritarian... And many other roles are explained in the document work in teamwork by Cardona and Willinson.
Once you have read it, share that information with the rest of the members of group, so you can all put on each other's hats and think more as a team.
Like committee, don't pigeonhole roles, as everyone is several at once.

Listen actively: facilitate communication and participation among team members by taking turns to speak. Do not interrupt interventions and pay attention.
Involve everyone in the conversation, giving your ideas without fear and considering without prejudice those of others - especially if it is a brainstorming session. If someone is not participating, encourage him/her to give his/her opinion by asking him/her about the topic that is circulating at that moment.
When giving your ideas, be open to the improvements and corrections that others can give you, and don't take it as something staff but as what will make the work go forward.
Make a certificate of the meeting in which it is clear the decisions that have been made, the issues that need to be addressed and the issues that could not be resolved. Write down any ideas that have been left unresolved.

For the group to work as such, there must be certain predispositions among its members and the "atmosphere" must be perfect for working.
The first is to give and receive feedback, that is, to comment to others as objectively as possible, with delicacy and sincerity about how their work is doing and at the same time ask them to tell us their opinion about ours in order to accept it and thus improve it.
The second is the attitude of listening. Only if the members of group have the ability to truly listen to the ideas, improvements, proposals and conclusions of others will it be possible to reach a common cause. Otherwise, it is encouraged to do as many little jobs as there are people.
The third is optimism. Nothing is gained by destroying with comments, nor by being irresponsible in the work because in the end everything comes out. It will cost, but it will turn out well

Looking at everyone's schedules for good coordination, set a date and time for meetings, and determine the periodicity if a good time and date has been found for everyone.
Choose a place from work where there are no interruptions or distractions, such as the classrooms of work at group, and make sure you have the necessary material (whiteboard, computers, etc.).
Send the topics to be covered and the tasks to be performed to meeting via certificate above.
Have prepared the deliverables that you need to submit or the information that needs to be presented.

Encourage your teammates when they lose heart to do the work, do not make contributions or do not trust their work.
You should be available to resolve any doubts that team members may have regarding the completion of the work and, if necessary, serve as a representative when discussing it with the teacher.
Being a leader means working harder. You have to check that the tasks are correct, share them and check that the final work is of the quality you had stipulated.

Know the tasks that have been assigned to you with the details that have been specified, analyze the members to see where to support you and be very clear about the date when it is due.
Use tools that allow you to communicate and show the progress of your work to colleagues, such as Google Drive, Gmail, Dropbox, WhatsApp.
Lean on your colleagues when difficulties arise in the realization and be reciprocal with them, looking for areas where another can be an expert and helping where you can be.
Seek acceptance from all members of group with the work you have made. If everyone has participated to a greater or lesser extent, the more general acceptance you will have.

The meeting should be a good one, but in order not to make it last too long, it is advisable to take certain "safety measures". Among them is to fix in advance the time that the meeting is to last, with some slack in case you are dealing with something important. You can always continue the informal chat after that time has elapsed.
In the meeting, move away and propose to move away everything that distracts (cell phones, computers if they are not going to be used, etc.). It is better to take notes on paper and then transfer them to certificate digitally.
