The cartoon I chose shows seven people in a meeting sitting around a puzzle-shaped table. At the bottom, it says, “This is just one piece of the revenue puzzle.” It’s an interesting way to show how every person in a group plays a role and how effective group communication is key to making everything fit.

Chapter 10 explains how people play different roles within groupstask roles, social roles, and individual roles. For a group to succeed, everyone has to contribute their “piece” and communicate clearly. If one person dominates or someone holds back, it throws the whole group off. The puzzle-shaped table in the cartoon made me think of this. If one person’s input is missing or ignored, the full picture can’t come together.

I’ve experienced this in real life. During a group project at school, everyone had different strengths, but we didn’t always communicate well. At first, people were quiet or unsure of what to say. Once we started sharing ideas openly things came together a lot faster. We were like that puzzle, disconnected at first, but stronger when all the pieces were in place.

This cartoon was a fun reminder that in any team or organization, every member matters. Good group communication means listening, speaking up, and respecting different roles. When people understand how they fit into the bigger picture, the results can be a lot more successful.
