I did not expect to get rescued one camp away from Mount Everest. My team considered
all our goals and the points required but I didn’t feel like I needed to prioritize my health in order
to complete our shared goal which is to reach the summit. They assigned to me the role of a
mountaineer who was also a model for ski magazine. I did my best in predicting the weather, and
most of the time my forecasts were accurate. However, I did not understand its impact on the
team’s future actions, if we were to stay in the most recent camp or if we were to proceed to the
next.
In the end, the team gave both asthma inhalers to the environmentalist who had to stay
behind because it was his goal and because his health was failing him. Upon reflection I realized
that I should communicate even more with the team, to open up to them the conditions that I also
had to meet, and to trust them that their decisions will also take into account my own conditions
and goals. If we were to do the simulation again, I would definitely let them know of my health
condition as a marathoner and a magazine model (therefore prohibiting me from getting
frostbites). Apart from that, I should also ask them for their opinions on what to do on certain
information, whether they be irrelevant or incomplete, so that I could merge their ideas with my
own.
