CROSSING VALLEY OF FAITH....!!!!

VALLEY CROSSING  A task which can check the amount of trust, team work and rapid communication is the VALLEY CROSSING
 

 Here the number of people participating is 3. The job for every 3 of them is to cross the valley safely. The distance between the cliffs is more than 1 step and less than 2 steps. Hence this will ensure that every person is in the air( in danger) once. The team has to make sure that they reach the other end safely.



Based on the step per step situation , we can draw following inferences

Persons	First Person	Second Person	Third person
Steps
1	Safe	Safe	Safe
2	Half Risky
3	Full Risky
4	Half Risky	Half Risky
5		Full Risky
6		Half Risky	Half Risky
7			Full Risky
8			Half Risky
9	Safe	Safe	Safe

• Safe - Both the legs of the person have full support

• Half Risky – One leg in the air and the other leg has support

• Full risky - Both the legs are in the air without any support

• Half risky – One leg is in the air and the other leg has support

• Safe - Both the legs have full support

All the three members have different responsibilities but the work is evenly distributed. It is not that a particular person works for a longer time or has to work harder
This situations are the same for every individual. it is just that the time for each is different.



LEARNING1.     Team work-Teamwork is absolutely necessary while carrying out any task. It helps the manager and the organization as a whole to achieve targets. It cannot be possible for a single person to handle everything. It is the teams effort which matters in the long run. Also in the above task team effort was necessary to a large extent. Hence team work plays a pivotal role in management.




2.      Trust-
This is again a very important factor. Whenever a manager assignes a task to his employees he definitely has a faith in them. This faith encourages the employees to work harder because it gives them a feeling of consideration. This particular thing is showcased very well in the above task. The person hanging in middle has to have complete faith in his teammates about their ability. Only then can a goal be achieved.

3.      Rapid communication-
Communication is important in an organization or else any activity for that matter. It helps to communicate your ideas. Communication in the above task was important so as to convey your position and feelings. Communication should not be delayed and must be at the right time.
