I wouldn't venture far enough to say that things are done well only for the sake of personal benefit. But when the majority of society is working hard out of pride, those set with the mindset of personal benefit may have the better chance of coming out ahead..? (but are likely not to be happy or find others not happy with them for long).
My core values seem to shift in order of importance according to the situation presented. In the Blind Square task, the need of local leadership compelled me to push forward ideas, requesting input and participation from those closest to me. The want to resolve problems quickly pushed me to explore the boundries of the rules presented.
From what I can reflect on from the exercise, there are things that I could improve. Perhaps taking some time to determine the bigger picture and how to involve more participants, or exploring if there are better leaders out there in the crowd. Maybe even check to see who may have had experience in this exercise before, something basic that escaped most of us participating!
Ahhhh... so many things to change. Lets just hope this exercise isn't repeated until the end of the semester. There's a lot of learning to do here. :)
