Dave's Team Roles/Expecatations

Nice list, Emilie, here's my take:

goals for project:
A. Help lots of people by creating great stuff that improves/changes lives.

personal learning goals:
B. Learn how to work well with business-minded people and gain a few skills in that arena. (logistics, market plans, etc.

priorities: (how does this fit in in life & class work)
Probably pretty high. I will generally shuffle other stuff around to make this happen.

things i am working on (please call me out & help me):
Respecting other people's time. Learning to lead by consistent example. Being a positive thinker (i.e. a realist does not have to be critical).

skills & things I think I am good at:
Making stuff. Mechanical engineering. Taking other people's ideas, assimilating them with other information, and spinning out bigger and better concepts (and then making them real).

favorite team role:
"Enabler," the person who helps other people's ideas really come alive. Also the divergent thinker and information assimilator.

typical team role:
See above, but add some leadership in there.

things that bring me down in groups:
People who get really stuck on ideas and make group work personal. Meeting before 10AM.

random thoughts on group work:
I love working with others, particularly fun, smart, engaging, dedicated, and passionate people who are willing to work as hard as I am.

-Dave
