Teamwork, Ropes, Birds and Crabs...

The Importance of Teamwork

Ropes Course

One of the groups at the ropes course working together to carefully pour "radioactive fuel" into a container.

How come the birds were not able to achieve good teamwork?

Based on the videos, what characteristics/qualities are needed for a good team?

What similarities (good or bad) between what you did in the ropes course and these videos?

PROMPT:

Based on your experience at the ropes course and video clip viewed, what are the most important qualities for team members to have and why? What aspects of teamwork come easy to you? Why is it easier for you?  What aspects of teamwork are difficult for you?  Why is it difficult?

Patience is a very important quality for a team member to have.  Although a person may be excited to finish a  goal with their team right away, being impatient can make it difficult for them to communicate with the rest of the team which could compromise what they are working on.  The aspect of team work that comes easy to me is being able to communicate with my teammates and understand their point of view  Patience is a difficult part about teamwork for me because I am personally a person who like to accomplish tasks as soon as possible..
