  2. Today • Everest Simulation

  3. Everest SimulationLogistics • Login & review the “Prepare” section • http://forio.com/simulation/harvard-everest/public_main.htm • Teams of 5 • Leader, Physician, Environmentalist, Marathoner, Photographer • You can chat via the simulation or by voice • Six Rounds leaders do the advance • Round 0 10 minutes • Round 1 10 minutes • Round 2 15 minutes • Round 3 15 minutes • Round 4 15 minutes • Round 5 10 minutes • 10 minute team huddle – what worked/didn’t • 20 minute class discussion

  4. Everest SimulationRemember • Examine the data at each step carefully • Some of the analysis require calculations • Make sure you review your role and role specific information • Get “into” your role. • Believe you are that person. What would they do? • First two rounds are uneventful by design! • Mistakes are costly • Return to base camp, get rescued or fail to reach the summit • Rescued climbers still have a critical role • Midpoint survey is crucial to the debrief • Answer individually, be brutally honest

  5. Everest SimulationWhen You’re Done • Fill out all the surveys • Discuss in your team • Why didn’t you achieve all your goals? • How could you have enhanced your team effectiveness? • How could you have enhanced your personal effectiveness

  6. What Did We Learn From Everest? • Critical information in a startup is distributed asymmetrically • Information in a startup needs to be shared • You all had a shared goal • You also have individual interests/goals • Team members had different information • You needed to share that information to succeed • This is different than success in large companies

  7. Psychological SafetyLessons From Everest • Psychological Safety is paramount • Comfort in asking questions, requesting clarification, asking about others views • Helpful when team members have conflicting goals • If it doesn’t exist personal agendas win

  8. LeadershipLessons From Everest • Leadership promotes Psychological Safety • Leaders acknowledge they’re fallible • Leaders actively intervene in discussions to: • Encourage team to share information • Change framing of questions • Leaders at times choose the decision making process • Leaders may have to arbitrate
