The boys helped me wit hone of my homework assignments. We had 2 teams of boys taking the Marshmallow challenge and I was to judge them on what team dynamics worked best.
Who tended to do the worst? Why? | |
Those that were more reserved. Those who were more dominating I think hindered them using any of their ideas or even getting involved. The team was then left without their input. | |
The over dominant ones. They chose to push their idea and apply their power to make it the main option. | |
Who tended to do the best? Why? | |
Those that were more confident and could bring in others. | |
What improves performance? | |
Getting more folks involve and having helpers. | |
What kills performance? | |
Having a dominant personality and pushing one agenda. The other team members were then reluctant to participate. | |
What was the biggest lesson that you learned in observing the different teams? | |
Having a team mentality was far better than an individual mentality. When you invite and bring in others and are open to listening to everyone, everyone buys in and you get a winning situation and result. |
