5 THINGS that COORELATE to MY BOOK

Interdependent Teamwork – each person had a task and they completed it to achieve a goal!

Cooperation – all did different things, but had similar outcomes. (Stayed alive)

Group Vs. Team “A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a

common purpose, set of performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.”

Measured by individual accountability. (If they screw up, they die.)

Consensus – WE WANT OUT BROTHER ALIVE.
