Recently I was witness to various "team" projects and watched, fascinated, as different groups of complete strangers were called to successfully group together to work quickly, efficiently and creatively to finish certain projects. How funny! The chaos that ensued was similar to the effect of stepping on an ant nest.....watch 'em go!!!
There are certain personalities that take control immediately, certain personalities that feel overwhelmed and bow to the stronger "control-freaks", then there are the personalities that just go with the flow and neither lead, nor really follow. The control freak feels that no one is helping, but then they don't allow anyone to help. The overwhelmed cower visually, but then resent secretly, and those that march to the beat of their own drum either smooth things or just throw monkey-wrenches into an already hostile, emotionally-pumped environment.
It should seem simple, almost trivial really, that in this most "enlightened" age, people should be able to get on with each other easily. Haven't we learned yet to swallow our pride, share empathy, be tolerant, and listen?? LOL... welp, not these 16 people!
If one can not get along with one's neighbor.....how can we fathom that world peace would or could be a possibility?
