RESOURCE #1: What IF...Inspirational Team Building Video.flv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s46M7AGG39I (2.50 min.)
SECTION ONE: CONCEPTS, ISSUES & RELATED POINTS: Identify concepts, issues and related key points presented. “What if…Inspirational Team Video” makes viewers reconsider important aspects of personal performance and team building. Specifically, each person is asked to imagine his life and career if he followed the suggested pieces of advice. The video also addresses the one with “what if we…” question, assuming that the person is a part of a team and his personal efforts make the difference in it. (SpiritualCommerce, 2010)
SECTION TWO: LESSONS LEARNED (YOUR KAIZEN): In your own words address the following: RELATED PROFESSIONAL/PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: How does specific aspects of the content you reviewed from the readings relate to your own experience? and I do agree that it is important to be positive and open to new ideas. Another effective issue for me was to consider team results as personal success and celebrate it together with a team – it provided team spirit and promoted collaboration.
TOOL BOX: How will you use what you have learned and the awareness you have gained now or possibly in the future?
I appreciate that the importance to demand, as well as give more feedback is underlined by the video. This is the thing I have to practice at work. The video has also made me consider the surrounding and the effect of its occasional change.

Professor Vijay Govindarajan tells two things every leader must do to facilitate ongoing innovation are to recognize that the world is changing, investigate those changes and respond to them; and think of how to change the minds of the organization to bring this innovative change. He agrees that minds cannot be changed overnight, therefore, new people, “new voices” need to be brought to the organization from the outside of the company. Nevertheless, the company should also try to encourage the existing members of the team to think differently and step up with new ideas. To overcome resistance to change leaders must do three things: change the performance measurement and reward system; promote collaboration rather than individual creativity; create tolerant for failure culture.
