Executive Summary This report critically analyses and evaluates my individual experience and team ‘Zenith’s’ performance in the ‘Everest Simulation Task’, using three managerial concepts. The predominant managerial concepts used in this report include; ‘Attitudes, perception and Personality’, ‘Power and Conflict’ and ‘Understanding Groups and Teams’. Through critical analysis of the Everest Simulation, the report aims to identify and measure the significance of managerial concepts in a task-oriented temporary group setting, hence providing adequate conceptual reasoning for team Zenith’s unsatisfactory performance in the Everest Simulation. Furthermore, the inter-relation between individual and team behaviours are analysed from an objectivistic perspective. The analytical report uses existing managerial theories and measures its applicability into my personal experience and the ‘Everest Simulation’ experience of team ‘Zenith’. The analysis of the Everest experience has found that interpersonal cohesion was constrained due to extreme levels of individualism and interpersonal diversities that team ‘Zenith’ possessed. Though the team possessed high levels of task cohesion, the lack of interpersonal cohesion is proven to be the factor that contributed negatively towards the overall team performance.
