Ilab Hunt Challenge Analysis

Decent Essays
After failing the iLab Hunt Challenge I've had time to think about what I did and what I didn't do. In hindsight, the challenge wasn't a success due to the lack of participants. I could've tried harder to get more students to sign up at my campus (Interamerican), rather than only six. I could've also tried to been more active in the leadership role as part of the team, such as trying to get some order/structure into what we were all working for. One of the key reasons the challenge failed was due to the lack of organization we as a team had. We needed each part of the team to have deadlines, but no one ever stepped up to make a point of it. I should've typed a paper to make deadlines to everyone and make it work, but I didn't. I think I didn't

    “We’ve never lost an American in space and we’re sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch! Failure is not an option!” Said by Gene Kranz on the movi Apollo 13, the ‘Failure is not an option’ phrase has been used by various action movies as a cliché which shows authority and badassery. Every character on this kind of movie says that failing on their specific job (or mission, if you really want to be that badass) is not what they are expecting. Fail this mission and you don’t exist on our lives, that’s it.…

    One of my most recent challenges that occurred this past year was taking on a regional level role as South Central Region Z-HOPE Coordinator. Before this appointment I have only served on a local level, only serving as Tamias for Psi Alpha Zeta Chapter since graduation in 2011. This experience has helped me grow as a leader in multiple ways. Since taking this role I am more aware of what I do well and what I do not too well. I am investing more time in my strengths and seeking guidance, from past Z-HOPE Coordinators, in my weak areas.…

    A historical and political place that I would add to this DC scavenger hunt is the Capitol Building. I would add it because it is one of the most significant political buildings in the United States of America. Not only is it a building that has been around for centuries, but it is also where the Senate and the House of Representatives gather and discuss policies and bills (About the U.S. Capitol Building). For this reason, it holds historical value and the amount of discussions and debates that have happened goes back centuries. These discussions are what have shaped America and American politics.…

    Canadian Seal Hunt played a prominent role in exposing the cruelty involved in fashion industry production. The photo, taken in 1969 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, was a catalyst that provoked outrage and boycotts of fur products in Canada. The group joined forces with a wide spectrum of animal welfare groups in order to protest the unregulated slaughter of baby seals by Newfoundland and Labrador fishermen. The image in question depicts a seal hunter wielding a club to a baby seal while its mother observes in the background of the photo. This photo went beyond merely creating outrage; it also mobilized activists and inspired acts of political protests that shaped the animal rights movement.…

    Accountability, unity, and intentionality are fundamental elements of a successful team. All three of these elements are interdependent on each other, yet are significant on their own. For these elements to work, each member of a team must depend on each other’s contribution, but not rely on one member to do all the work. As well, an intentional goal must be set for all members to unify the same mentality. In my own experience with the Buckeye Twirl baton team, we fail to perform as a team and work as individuals.…

    Naturally, little kids are afraid of even the most simplest of things; monsters under the bed, boogeyman in the closet, literally anything: even if it’s in the dark. The novel Lord of the Flies is a book written by William Golding and it’s about English school boys who were evacuating a war that was going on at the time. Sadly, their plane got shot down and they ended up crashing on an unknown island with no adult survivors. Soon, these boys develop a fear of “the beast”. Now the question is: what is the beast?…

    The Eureka Hunt Analysis

    When was the last time you sat in silence and reflected upon your life? I mean real silence and real reflection, not soft music in your headphones-silence and thinking about what to have for dinner-reflection. And even more than that: when was the last time you felt like you were in a space and time appropriate for silence and self-reflection? In a society where it is increasingly heard not to be overwhelmed with noise as soon as we step outside our house (and sometimes, even before that), it almost feels as if our right to silence, which should be indubitable, has been stripped away from us. Traffic, advertising, cellphones ringing, texting, tweeting, people working, always talking, always moving, always making noise.…

    Reflecting on Saturday afternoon’s 2nd evaluation, I did not perform up to the standards Alpha Kappa Psi expected of me. Under the pressure of the panel, I did not think clearly before giving two names of ex-line brothers I felt were the best on the line. I started to list the rest of the line in order until eight other names were given and I was asked a different question. I should have listened to the PM team in a previous paneling where they explicitly told us there are no best or worst line brothers. We are only as strong as our weakest link and if someone is struggling, it is up to the rest of the line to offer help and guide them back in the right direction.…

    On the other hand, you have to be authoritative sometimes when the work is not done at the right time. Another challenge was making sure that everyone was available at the team meetings. This was hard task because situations always came up and people were not always able to attend. If someone was not able to make it to the meetings we usually face timed/skyped them and or we recorded ourselves and sent them the video so they can watch it when they are…

    The Vigilance Project Case (Dominick, 2008) is about team conflict because, in reality, the entire project was founded on some sort of conflict. The merger wasn’t really a merger, but more of an acquisition, which instantly creates tensions between the employees of both companies as various roles are either increased or decreased, depending on which company you initially worked for. As subteams were formed and sponsors/leads assigned to each subteam, initially it sounds like a good idea. It flattens out the hierarchy and involves plenty of employees in the decision-making process. However, because of the location of teams, it may have created a larger problem, producing more conflict, as now communication is becoming a bigger-than-initially-thought…
