Proper communication in any situation can be the key to whether or not a goals is attained. When working in groups, it is imperative that communication is utilized to the utmost. This key element bares a moment of truth when considering leadership and self-leadership skills. The leadership discipline involves effective communication among the team members and the self-leadership discipline involves internal communication skills. This means that knowing how to motivate and influence decisions within the group as well as self. The purpose of the Mount Everest Simulation was to encourage and awareness in regards to how leadership and self-leadership was delivered.

In considering what needed to be done for the simulation, we determined the purpose for the simulation as well as the individual roles for each participant. We learned through dialogue that each participant was to complete individual goals while collectively reaching the final point of the Everest simulation. Although we knew that each participant was to complete the challenge without being sent back to the starting point, we decided early in the simulation that collectively completing the simulation was our number one goal. We discussed each aspect of the challenge as if it were a life situation and applied rationale and scope to the circumstance. For instance, we attempted to use our knowledge of the medical field to determine whether or not an asthma medication should be dispersed and when should it be administered to each …show more content…
Finding the strengths and weakness and of each individual and capitalizing on the positive aspects of each skill can determine the outcome of each obstacle. My group learned early in the simulation that everyone had an important role and each member was capable of contributing something positive to the group. Our group utilized skills learned from different researchers that were applicable at different junctures during the simulation. We recognized positive self-talk, defensive pessimism, and the effect of mental imagery on performance. Unfortunately, these skills and methods were not recognized until after the simulation was complete; however, this did not at any point hinder our progress. We did not allow ourselves to become focused on what was being learned. Instead we focused on the chore and discussed the challenge from a hind-sight point of view. Meaning, we had a moment of self-assessment and explored ways we could improve on the simulation or simulations like this one in the
