Well,let's share some pictures first!
Me,Errol,Nuno and Aggie are in the same group~ I think our group is classic example because we are from different majors. I am from Business major. Errol and Nuno are from FST, and Aggie is from PSY Major.
Although time we were running out of time, we finally made our "Tower" stood up ^.^
It's a funny experience to cooperate with teammates.
But after this funny game, Dr.Udani asked us if we had learned something from this activities.
Yes, from my aspect, I had practiced some ideas about leadership which have been in my mind for a long time.
In my opinion,a team is different from a group. Group has one leader, like an organize, but team does not have a particular one. In today's activity, actually i think we act like a team rather than a group. We every one take a lead in one aspect. I was think about how to build a higher tower and how to save the materials. Nuno was thinking about the structure of the tower. Errol was considering how to make the tower stronger. and Aggie was preparing materials and stabling our emotion. Everyone in our team was leading in their advantage aspect.
Of course, this was the case when time was allowed. We made a plan.We made the discussions. But when time is limited, when a quick decision is needed, a leader is necessary. Leader should make decision base on the occasion. Whether time is available, how to use the remaining materials, and when should be made stronger were the problems we met today. Leader accelerated the progress when time is limited in order to reach the goal. This is also the model that the U.S.A have been using for long time when the U.S.A is in war.
So today, we first behaved like a team which I think can ensure the performance and then behaved like a group which can be guarantee the goal can be reach in time.
Marshmallow Challenge,funny but meaningful activity.
