“Everyone contributed<br />

different strengths and we<br />

settled down into patterns<br />

<strong>of</strong> teamwork, <strong>the</strong> kind <strong>of</strong><br />

skills required for crossfunctional<br />

leadership<br />

within a company. As an<br />

international student<br />

with a nontraditional<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional background,<br />

I learned <strong>the</strong> common<br />

vocabulary through my<br />

team and developed deeper<br />

friendships with my learning<br />

team members.”<br />

Shaowei Ying, WG’05<br />

“I like that you don’t get to choose your team. It<br />

makes <strong>the</strong> experience more realistic. In <strong>the</strong> workplace<br />

you’re <strong>of</strong>ten thrown in with people you<br />

don’t know very well. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lessons I learned<br />

is that diversity is critical to good outcomes, but<br />

you have to make sure everyone is speaking up.”<br />

Garren Bird, WG’05<br />

lead: collaborate<br />

“I make mistakes all<br />

<strong>the</strong> time. <strong>The</strong> best<br />

part <strong>of</strong> this experience<br />

is that when you do,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are four or five<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r people to help<br />

you pick up <strong>the</strong> pieces<br />

and move forward.”<br />

Jamee Leffler, WG’05
