Together, Each Accomplishes More!
Continue
here after Retreat I |
Now
that you
and your team members have participated in "Retreat I" complete this section to continue with this module |
| Now that you have considered some new ideas and have had a chance to practice them, it's time to put them to work! complete at least one of the following exercises that will challenge you to apply and expand these new ideas to other aspects of your family, school, and/or community. |
 Application
and Expansion Exercise 1: |
| Do
You Agree? |
Take some time and look again at your results from the Roles We Play On Teams survey. Reread the descriptions in this module for each of the four roles on teams, and then think about what your survey scores suggest about you. |
 |
Compose
a Letter to the Survey Developer |
Now, go to your Reflection Journal, record the date, and write a brief letter to Mr. Parker explaining whether you agree or disagree with how the survey scores depict your team-player style. Refer to Individuals’ Roles on Teams – Supplemental Information Sheet for help (click here to retrieve). Describe how well you think the survey assessed your actual strengths and weaknesses for each of the four roles. Print a copy of your letter to add to your TRY-IT Personal Leadership Portfolio. |

| Application
and Expansion Exercise 2: |
| Using
the Survey with One of Your Teams. |
Stop and think about a four- to five-member of which you are a member. It could be a school project team, a working committee at your place of worship, a 4-H team, or some other team. (Note: For this particular exercise, a sports team is not the best choice, although the exercise may be done with a sports team if you include the coach.) At a team meeting, ask your fellow team members if they’d agree to participate in Roles We Play on Teams – A Quick Survey. Explain that by taking the survey, all of you may better understand one another and the individual strengths each of you brings to your team. Remember to include your team’s coach, advisor, or leader. If the team agrees, make copies of the survey (click here or below for a PDF file of the survey) for each member. At the meeting, explain how to complete the survey, and answer any questions about the survey. Then, let your fellow team members have time to complete and self-score their surveys using the Scoring Sheet. (Note: If you completed your survey online, the computer scored your test for you, so be certain to study the manual Scoring Sheet so you may answer questions about it. You may want to take the survey again using a paper copy so you will know how it works.) |
 |
 |
| After everyone has completed the survey and calculated his/her scores, distribute copies of Individuals’ Roles on Teams – Supplemental Information Sheet (click here or below to retrieve) to each team member. Lead a discussion of each role in detail, share your scores, and invite your fellow team members to discuss how they either support or disagree with how the survey assessed their respective strengths and weaknesses in each of the four roles. |
| |
|
| Once you return home, go to your Reflection Journal, enter the date, and write a summary of the meeting. Describe how your fellow team members either agreed or disagreed with their survey results. Discuss how knowing each member’s results could help strengthen the team’s work together. |

| Application
and Expansion Exercise 3: |
| Designing
a Dream Team |
Think of a challenge, task, or job that you might face and how you could master it by using teamwork. Use the survey results to help you evaluate what aspects of the job you would be good at and which roles might best be filled by another team member. Using the guidelines below, design a four-person Dream Team, including yourself, that would be perfect at meeting your challenge. You may want to identify real people (celebrities or someone you actually know) who have traits that you need to complement your skills and compensate for your weaknesses. |
