Welcome to AIESEC India Space Camp

Moon Landing

11

THE SITUATION •  You are a member of a space crew scheduled to

rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. However, due to mechanical difficul=es, your own ship was forced to land at a spot 200 miles from the rendezvous point.

•  During re-‐entry and landing, much of the equipment aboard was damaged and, since survival depends on reaching the mother ship, the most cri=cal items available must be chosen for the 200-‐mile trip.

12

YOUR MOON LANDING CHALLENGE •  15 items are listed as being intact and

undamaged aFer landing (on your handout).

•  Your task is to rank them in terms of their importance for your crew, to allow them to reach the rendezvous point.

•  Place the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by the second most important, and so on through to number 15 for the least important. In column A.

•  You have 10 minutes to make your individual ranking now in silence (no talking).

13

OUR MOON LANDING CHALLENGE •  Form groups of 4 people with those around

you.

•  Together you will make a collecFve ranking of the importance of the 15 items.

•  Discuss your individual choices and refine them based on the group’s collec=ve thoughts. Record your group’s ranking in column B.

•  You have 15 minutes to make your group ranking now (by talking & listening ;)

14

HOW DID YOU SCORE? •  On the following slide you will see the expert ranking of the

items from NASA which will help us calculate & compare scores. •  For each item, copy the NASA ranking onto the far left column

of your score sheet.

EXAMPLE 15

15

EXPERT RANKING •  For each item, copy the NASA ranking onto the far left column of your score sheet

16

HOW DID YOU SCORE? •  Now you know the expert ranking of the items from NASA

which will help us calculate & compare scores. •  For each item, record the number of points that your ranking

(Column A) differs from the NASA ranking and then add up all the points to record your overall individual score in the final row. Disregard plus or negative differences.

EXAMPLE 9 6 15

17

HOW DID WE SCORE? •  Repeat the same process, this time record the number of points

that Our Ranking (Column B) differs from the NASA ranking and then add up all the points to record your overall group score in the final row.

EXAMPLE 5 10 15

18

So what? What now?

How was the result? Which score was higher – individual or group score? Why might that be so? How was the process? What might you do differently to get a beQer result & experience next Fme? In which AIESEC situaFons might the same apply?

& others

Why how we think matters

Putting your minds to the test!!!

How much fat is your brain made of? 1/3 2/3 All of it is fat!

How many thoughts does the average person have each day? 20,000 50,000 70,000

Can your brain change your structure? No, its biologically set In some special people Yes, parts can grow

The Basic Formula

We can change the structure of our brains….

We grow where we place effort & practice

People who play music have been found to have auditory centres that are BIGGER than normal. The ‘sound’ area of their brain grew through practising their music.

The more connections our brain makes, the more we grow them:

LEARNING!

The more connections they make and the more space they dedicate for processing

Our thoughts are just as real for our

brains as our actions – that’s why

they matter

If we want to grow ourselves, we need to help our brains make the best connections by focusing our time

& effort

In her book Mindset, Carol Dweck explains why it’s not our abilities and talent that bring us success – but in which mindset we approach them

So, what is a mindset?

Creates a whole mental world for you to live and operate within

It’s related to your belief

about ability & intelligence

What is my mindset most of the time?

1. Your intelligence is something very basic about you that you can’t change very much. 2. You can learn new things, but you can’t really change how intelligent you are. 3. No maQer how much intelligence you have, you can always change it quite a bit. 4. You can always substanFally change how intelligent you are.

READ EACH STATEMENT ABOUT INTELLIGENCE AND DECIDE WHETHER YOU MOSTLY AGREE WITH IT OR DISAGREE WITH IT.

1. You are a certain kind of person and not much can be done to really change that. 2. No maQer what kind of person you are, you can always change substanFally. 3. You can do things differently, but the important parts of who are you are can’t really be changed. 4. You can always change basic things about the kind of person you are.

READ EACH STATEMENT ABOUT PERSONALITY AND DECIDE WHETHER YOU MOSTLY AGREE WITH IT OR DISAGREE WITH IT.

Fixed mindset Ability cannot change Growth mindset Ability can change (grow)

Mindsets in moments of truth

How do you get the best out of

your people everday?

LC MOMENTS OF TRUTH

52

REFLECT & SHARE IN PAIRS Remember a time / an experience when you were able to think and

act with a growth mindset. It might be from your AIESEC life, studies, professional life, relationships, hobbies, sport, family life….

•  Think about:

− What happened?

− How did you show a growth mindset?

− How did it help you to have a growth mindset?

− What enabled/made it easier for you to keep a growth mindset in that situation despite the difficulties you faced?

•  Share your story with your neighbour

Growing ourselves is about what we focus on and what we do – our growth mindset

What are our own

experiences of fixed mindset leadership?

87

Lets hear some real stories in the room

What are our own

experiences of growth mindset leadership?

Growth Mindset Leaders

93

Mars Mission

MISSION ALERT

LIVE practical example How do I give feedback in a growth mindset?

Important for missions The Feedback Formula 1. For the sake of what are you giving this feedback? 2. What was the observable behaviour? 3. What was the affect it had on you? 4. How does it make you feel? 5. What would you like to happen?

Lets see it in action

97

A recent study of leaders showed the most successful demonstrated one thing in common - a growth mindset

LIVING ABOVE OR BELOW THE LINE

LIVING ABOVE OR BELOW THE LINE

Ownership Accountability Responsibility Blame Excuse Denial

100

As leaders our mindset is not static – it changes;

and often in the one day. It can have a big effect on

others and create a culture within our teams/organisation

Look at the 1-‐2 habits you wrote down before lunch If you developed these as a leader; what impact would it have on your team? What might be different?

What skills do we need to know as leaders to help grow others?

Does your team feel motivated? Do you know why your team are in AIESEC? Does your team feel empowered to achieve their tasks? Do you question the capabilities of your team? Do you feel intimidated by others peoples success and want to be the hero of your LC story?

104

Questions that matter

105

QUESTIONS that matter are a powerful tool for: - growing others - growing results

MORE COMPLEXITY – MORE CHAOS

21st Century Leadership

Our brains respond differently to statements vs questions….

Frontal Lobe

Reptilian Brain: FIGHT OR FLIGHT

108

What would a fixed mindset leader think

about asking questions?

109

What would a growth mindset leader think

about asking questions?

Millions saw the apple fall, but only Newton asked WHY?

111

“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on it, I would use the first 55 minutes to formulate the right question because as soon as I have identified the right question I can solve the problem in less than five minutes.” - ALBERT EINSTEIN

112

A POWERFUL QUESTION… •  Generates curiosity and invites creativity

•  Focuses inquiry and stimulates reflective conversation

•  Is thought provoking and surfaces underlying assumptions

•  Touches a deeper meaning

•  Is open and does not assume a certain answer

•  Is not an opinion disguised as a question

•  Helps to reframe the topic

•  Shows real interest and is sincere

113

ARE THESE POWERFUL QUESTIONS? WHY? WHY NOT? 1.  Don’t you think we should buy it?

2.  Do you feel appreciated?

3.  What does it mean for you to be ethical?

4.  Why do you think that?

5.  How might that look like?

WHAT IF I could put a 1000 songs in my pocket? HOW MIGHT WE build a bank for the poor?

124

What is the powerful question

that my team needs to hear

right now?

Does your team feel motivated? Do you know why your team are in AIESEC? Does your team feel empowered to achieve their tasks? Do you question the capabilities of your team? Do you feel intimidated by others peoples success and want to be the hero of your LC story?

126

Motivating Others

127

Motivation is derived from the Latin word ‘movere’ which means ‘to move’ or ‘to energize’ or ‘to activate’

128

Mission ALERT Get into teams of 5 You now have 2 mins to show us

what motivation looks like in action

129

144

Everyone’s talking & asking questions but do we really listen to each other?

146

Listening The Art of

And Building on the Ideas of Others

Do you need to innovate to grow your LC’s results? Do you need to improve your team relaFonships and understand each other beQer?

Do you need to deal differently with criFcism?

Do you open space for experimentaFon and innovaFon?

148

The of listening is creating empathy

150

Swap partners. Oldest person will be the mirror. Close your eyes. Remember a recent situation with high, intense emotions – positive or negative – how did you feel? How did your body react? Now, without talking, express that recent emotional reaction with your body to your partner, who will mirror your emotion physically as best as they can. Now swap and repeat. Without talking.

LET’S GET EMOTIONAL!

151

How was it to listen with your

eyes?

152

80% of all communication is

non-verbal

153

How well were you able to put yourself in the other’s place?

154

How might creating more

empathy with my team impact our

growth?

155

But how can we listen to more than one

person at a time? How might we build on the

ideas of others & innovate?

156

When we host a conversation we need to know when to DIVERGE

& when to CONVERGE

157

What questions might help the group to diverge – create

choices?

158

How might we help the team to generate

ideas?

159

“The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.”

Linus Pauling, Nobel Prize chemist
