Synthesis:
Know your environment
When faced with a specific situation, one must learn to assess
the environment before doing any action. Although most people would
think it a waste of time to actually do this step, it actually very helpful
to understand what is happening within your immediate environment
before taking action.
In the activity, you guys were given the context of the activity
and you had to choose which roles to choose. Given that, you were
able to assess the environment and actually take action based on what
was needed and expected from you.
Know how you can fit into the environment
You must learn to use your skills and strengths in order to
address the environment or the situation you are faced with. This will
help you perform better regardless of whether in a team or individually.
In the activity, most of you chose the roles that seemed easier
something that you are more capable of doing. You would choose to
throw the balls if you know you are not good with catching them the
same goes the other way around.
Adjust accordingly
Adjusting is a dynamic process. Adjusting does not come only at
the end or at the last of an activity. Due to external and uncontrollable
factors, you will have to adjust from time to time. For those that would
catch, they would have various strategies in catching depending on the
kind of projectile (paper airplane or ball). The same goes with the
thrower, they will be throwing the projectile depending on its size,
weight and etc. Also, the crafting of the projectile is adjusted according
to the mechanics of the game. You will have to craft the projectile
according to how you will get most projectiles into the cup.
Adjusting is not normally something members do. It is believed
that leaders usually have to do the adjusting. However, it is important
to note that all members regardless of they are leaders or not, must
learn to adjust. Adjust to situations. When given a specific deadline for
a specific project, and things dont happen as planned, it was not
signed on time, hell week during that week, you would need to adjust
accordingly. When you are in a group that has to work on a project but
the group dynamics is terrible, you must learn to step back and assess
