The main thing I learned through this simulation is that communication, collaboration, and teamwork is very important in being successful. For example, from the start, our team members communicated what each of their personal goals were and how many points that we got from accomplishing each of them. We collaborated on what our next move would be when it came to figuring out whether or not we would stay at the same camp or advance. Teamwork was key because if we weren’t together and just tried to work on our own agendas, then we would have never made it to the top successfully. When a new challenge came, we tackled it as a team and not individually. We were much stronger working together rather than working against each other. In the end, working together really paid off for us.…
