Mission Overview
Let's take a moment or two to step out of the simulation and reflect on lessons learned. Thiagi often says we don't learn from experience. If we do, then how come his neighbor has been married six times? No, rather we learn from reflecting on our experiences.
This Mission is about thinking. It is about connecting the experiences you've had with Vijay, Bob, Mary, and Anand so far back to your own life.
Task One
Take some time and answer the following questions. Upload a Response Video with your answers.
How did you feel interacting with Vijay, Bob, Mary, and Anand? How do you feel now?
Describe what you did. What happened? Replay the sequence of events.
What did you learn? Be specific.
How does the simulation relate to the real world? How does what you've learned relate to your work?
What if you were engaging with your real team members? What would you have done differently... if anything? What if the characters were really in front of you? What you you do differently?
There are two more Missions and the Final Mission. What will you do moving forward to ensure success? What action steps do you need to take to incorporate what you have learned back on the job?
Task Two
Below is a video response Matt made based on the input he has received from all of you so far. These are just some thoughts he had that summarize some of his observations and include some general suggestions. Watch the video.
Now, here is a role play Matt did with Bob. It is similar to the conversation we asked you to have with him. Watch it and see what you notice. Please excuse the sound quality. We had technical issues while filming, and Bob is difficult to get in the coaching chair.
After watching both videos, upload your responses to the following questions:
What did you think? Notice?
Did you agree what what you saw/ heard? If not, or if not with all, what did you disagree with? If you did agree, why so?
What questions do you have?
Final thoughts?
