The session on Teamwork started with a hitch .The three student from the class were asked to perform the activity of 3 idiots crossing the valley.Everyone in the class came up with an idea of implementing the activity same time with an amplification .The steps followed in activity are as follows:-

In the above figure the position and requirement of leadership may changes in 3 ways:-

• All the time one leader
• All the time all leader
• All the time sometime leader

From this activity we realized the importance of decentralized leadership The leadership needs to be distributed and should have orientation.The given situation states that there are:-

                                        27 Situation ------9 Position --------3 People

Observation:-

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.

6. The 9 position consist of 6 safe completely,2 half safe and 1 completely unsafe.

Structuring of team:-          

• Role A = Role B = Role C : No differentiation what so ever is built in designing the team tasks
• All  3 members’ tasks  were designed to be - Easy, Lighter, Clear and Systematic
• 3 team members are equally responsible in their contributions for the overall task completion
