1st day of team building facilitated by Future Consideration

2005-6-20

Quote of the day – the unexamined life is not worth living.

It has been a very long but definitely interesting day because 2 professionals called Pete and Satu (both are AIESEC alumni back in the late 90s) from Future Consideration came and facilitate team-building for the AI 05/06 team. I am not clear about what this organization is doing, should be more than interesting to explore more tomorrow.

Taking a look at what we’ve been doing today, though I was very sleepy for 15 minutes in the afternoon, first was more about culture understanding and our individual/team reaction towards it. This gives us a very good feeling of what exactly it is, which stage me as an individual as well the team is at, then how we can build on that. The knowledge is very new to me. The theory itself helped to clarify lots of misunderstanding I had before.

The 2nd part was about how to deliver requests and assessments. How different actions and activities are; the process to deliver a request which makes sure both me and the performer will commit to it; what is an assessment, how to deliver powerful assessment; what are the costs of not giving an assessment to someone you wanted to give; etc. I never know that there is so much knowledge or theory in our day to day life and work. I also first time realized no matter how much I was building a team with completely honest and open feedbacks, I am not yet comfortable with completely open and honest feedbacks within the AI team. Probably because it is a big team with 20 people on it. Probably because we haven't worked together much yet.

I think this might be something Flic will be definitely interested about and passionate to work on – talent development. I seriously realized its value though working in AIESEC, we always talk about individual development and stuffs like that. I am not surprised that there are people working in this area and make a living out of it.

I think there are so much stuff for me to reflect upon my last year's experience as an MCP regarding the theory and knowledge I am going to receive in these 3 days then digest and understand more about team working theory. More, I think it is how people interact with each other.
