Introduction
The Harvard Everest simulation is a team of hikers attempting to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Participants in the simulation play different roles will be given information and resources to use during the climb. This is a valuable exercise because the Everest simulation is to reinforce students learning in group dynamics and leadership. Teamwork referred to the process by which a group of people working collaboratively in order to achieve a common goal. The purpose of this report is to critically examine individual and team’s experience and final results in the Everest simulation and evaluate how importance of teamwork and why teamwork is essential in corporate for better outputs and a better boding between team members. This report presents the processes how the group climbing to the top and why communication is also a vital part to achieve success will be discussed. Moreover, teams and groups will be assessed and ultimately, the report will comment on how the behavior of the group leader may motivate the group and connect the group members toward a common goal. As a result, successful group dynamic may enhance group unification and may direct the lead a better performance.
Everest Simulation Background and Participation
The Everest Simulation includes several students in the group and each student plays a different role: one is photographer, one is physician, one is environmentalist, one is marathoner, one is leader and the other two are observers. Ultimately, the team must climb through 5 camps in 6 simulated days totaling. During each round of play team members must collectively discuss whether to attempt the next camp or route to the summit. Team members analyze information on weather, health conditions, supplies, goals, or hiking speed, and determine how much of that information to communicate to other teammates. Along the journey, the team must also decide how to effectively distribute foods, medical certificate and oxygen bottles
