Valley Crossing

Learning Management through games is always fun , in the next lecture in POM i learned some new lessons through a Valley Crossing exercise

VALLEY CROSSING

People Involved:

3 persons were required for this task.

Steps Involved:

All the three persons were required to cross the valley safely with the distance between the cliffs as more than one step and less than two steps.

Observations:

1. All three members have equal distribution of different kinds of situation.
   •  High Risk 01 times.
   •  Half Risks 02 times.
   •  Fully Safe 02 times.
2. All three members have the same role in terms of effort and risk. Nobody was overloaded or relaxed.
3. Communication and feedback is essential while working in a team.
4. Every member is indispensable in completing the task.
5. There were equal instances when one needed each other.

Learning:

Teamwork:

Teamwork is absolutely necessary while carrying out any task. It helps the manager and the organization as a whole to achieve targets. It cannot be possible for a single person to handle everything. It is the teams effort which matters in the long run. Also in the above task team effort was necessary to a large extent. Hence team work plays a pivotal role in management.

Trust:

This is again a very important factor. Whenever a manager assignes a task to his employees he definitely has a faith in them. This faith encourages the employees to work harder because it gives them a feeling of consideration. This particular thing is showcased very well in the above task.
