Go Team!

After our SCAMMPERR hunt on Wednesday night I was drained. We had a few bumps early on but managed to forge ahead. Some of our readings on team work, cooperation and group think related directly to feelings that I was having on Monday night. With not much time to plan, my group headed off to Merle Hay Mall where we ran into some tight laced mall security who told us we couldn't take any pictures in the mall. This initial glitch through us off our track, we slowly headed toward Target and ideas slowly began to hit us. It seemed at first that some of my group members had suggestions to make, but were hesitant to do so. After awhile it felt like we had already stalled out...we were all standing around in a random aisle waiting for something to hit us. We had members of our group that were much slower to speak their minds than others, which after reading more of Unstuck, made me think we maybe had a hint of 'group think' during parts of our adventure. At times I was slightly frustrated because I felt like a few us were tossing out ideas with out much criticism or response from the rest of the group. Toward the end of our hunt our team seemed to have a more balanced cohesion, it just took us a little while to reach a point where everyone was actively participating which made the entire experience much more enjoyable. You could say that we finally had the "right mix."
