The component of intercultural competence that Melinda is
lacking is the understanding of other people’s behaviors and the individual’s
way of thinking. It is because she clearly does not think of the feelings of
other people and whether her way of communication will offend them.
In group work, it is required to create an environment where each of the members can work productively. The power of the group comes from assisting each other, interacting. It is also necessary to communicate and have a friendly relationship with the group while working and giving suggestion regarding the work. Melinda lacks the quality by showing overconfidence and giving orders to others to do as she says.
