Grayscale: A black & white film, gray hair and gray areas
Leadership Training Discussion with Ron Mason:
Most creative lecturer so far. He used different tools in his report like video footage and games. We watched "12 Angry Men", and then we had to rank the order in which the 11 other jurors would change their verdicts to "not guilty" in the film.
First, we had to individually rank the film characters. Then, we were grouped, and as a group, we had to rank again given the input of all the members. Then, we watched the rest of the film to score our guesses. I won't explain the point system anymore.
In the end, the point Ron Mason was getting at was how our individual ranking scores almost always are lower than our group ranking scores. It didn't apply to me though. My individual ranking score was 23, and my group's was 26. Those two were still low though FYI. The highest is 1. hahaha
That exercise did prove correct my group-interaction habits. I'm more of a solo-flight flier. I guess it was all those unproductive partners and slacker group-mates in elementary and high school. They made me and 1 or 2 other responsible group-mates do all the work.
I'm not proud of being a less effective team player than I am individually. It's a useful fall-back quality when in school, but probably not for the workplace. I see more things at stake, and no one else to blame for working situations outside the classroom.
So, after that activity, I had my work cut out for me. Good morning discussion even if it started 8:30 as opposed to all the other 9:00am starter lectures. Plus now I have a new movie to watch. 12 Angry Men. :)
