So, I've just returned from a trip with four students who competed as a team during the Cartoon Challenge at the Kalamazoo Animation Festival, and they won. I've been thinking about what exactly worked for them and how they came together so effortlessly as a team to accomplish their goal of creating a 30 second PSA on global warming. I think I have figured it out. Their team leader stepped back and allowed his team's strengths to shine. While their leader was completely capable of doing all of the things his team could do, he did not let his ambitions over power those of his teams. By doing so, the team's energy became contagious, and they amazed even themselves. The leader filled in the necessary gaps of areas that weren't covered by the rest of the team. This allowed them to complete the task in record time, and in turn, deliver the winning piece.
Amazing work. I'm very proud to have witnessed their success.
