Tower building - Goal setting and Management

Data for  Tower Building exercise in terms of No. of CUBES is given below.

	Factor  1 to 8	Scenario - I	Scenario - II	Scenario - III	Scenario - IV
1 & 2	Historical Tower height achieved by team	Low - 5 High -  18	Low - 5 High - 20	Low - 5 High - 21	Low - 5 High - 23
3	Achievable Performance -          ( Estimate / Guess )	18 +	20+	22+	25+
4	Goal proposed by the Manager	18	22	22	18
5	Goal proposed by the worker	12	12	12	20
6	Goal Mutually agreed for building the tower between worker and manager with the support of the manager	15	22	18	15
7	No. of cubes Tower manager and worker team could build / achieve at the end of the exercise	18	18	18	18
8	P O T E N T I A L T O W E R   H E I G H T	20	25	25	30

 Potential tower height as per my understanding is stated above.

This is a condsiderable situation with drawback being that limits are not being pushed. Team performed better than what was earlier decided mutually. Manager has high expectations. Employees are complacent. Mutual agreement lies in middle of worker and manager aspirations. Exceeded expectations. Yes.Gap does exist.This is a condsiderable situation with drawback being that limits are not being pushed.	Acheivable performance > Performance of team.  Team did not push their limits and performed below expectations. Team performed as  what was earlier decided mutually. Manager has very high expectations. Employees are complacent. Mutual agreement is completely manager aspirations.He has been able to convince workers of his goals. Performance below expectations. Yes.large Gap does exist.Team did not push their limits and performed below expectations.	Acheivable performance > Performance of team.  Team did not push their limits and performed below expectations. Team performed not as good as what was earlier decided mutually. Manager has very high expectations. Employees are complacent. Mutual agreement lies more towards manager aspirations. Workers have been successful in negotiating a little. Met expectations. Yes.large Gap does exist.	Ac heivable performance is much  greater than Performance of team.  Team did not push their limits and performed very badly and  below expectations. Team performed not as good as  what was earlier decided mutually. Manager has low expectations. Employees are motivated and have set high expectations. Mutual agreement is lesser than worker and manager aspirations. Poor manager will eventually lead to complacent employees. Exceeded expectations. Yes.very large Gap does exist. Team did not push their limits and performed very badly and  below expectations.
