Once, I remember a situation where miscommunication occurred during a group project in college. Our assignment was to prepare a presentation on a complex topic. Each member was assigned specific research tasks, and we were supposed to integrate our findings into a cohesive presentation. The miscommunication arose when one team member misunderstood their role. Instead of researching a particular aspect of the topic, they assumed they were responsible for creating the entire presentation slides. As a result, while the rest of us focused on gathering data and analysis, this individual spent their time designing slides. Instead of assigning blame, we focused on finding a solution. We reassigned tasks, ensuring everyone had a clear understanding of what was expected.
