Mental Mapping
Suppose you wanted to arrive at specific location in central Houston. A street map of the city would be a great help to you in reaching your destination.
But suppose you were given the wrong map. Through a printing error, the map labeled “Houston” was actually a map of Los Angeles.
Can you imagine the frustration, the ineffectiveness of trying to reach your destination?

A Look Back
Think about what we have learned so far about
success in the workplace:
• Effective communication
• Learning styles
• Professionalism
How does teamwork interact with those three keys to
success?

Working Together
You have 10 minutes to build a 3-story structure:
In your groups, appoint a runner, recorder, architect, and carpenter(s).
• Runner: Pick up 20 playing cards.
• Architect: Supervise building of a structure using playing cards.
• Carpenter(s): Build the structure.
• Recorder: Write down comments, progress, disagreements, etc., while structure is being built.
• Runner: Present recorder’s findings when done/time is up.
