Why Collaboration Is An Individual Effort: Emily Eldridge at TEDxMU

Understanding personalities, people, and their individual needs is essential to collaboration and good teamwork. Indeed, Emily shows us that there is an "I" in "Team," and that the individual has a lot of power in an over-connected world.
Emily Eldridge serves as the CEO of Pure, the co-founder of The Agency Post and an alumna of the University of Missouri. She collaborates with a talented team to make communication agencies better at what they do, and understands how important the individuals are in bringing together those valuable services.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Is this a video every teacher gives there students for a "why group projects work" assignment?

[@kayek9086]

I really don't understand why my lecturer gave us an assignment based on this video because i'm really not getting any information out of this on how to become a competent group member.

+Kadesha Wright to sum things on this talk:
If you are an INTJ (Introvert Intuitive Thinking Judging) person.. (those who dont work well with others like her(Emily)..) you should consider collaborative learning using these few steps..
1. Understand and Articulate your unique perspective
2. Explain your quirks
3. Value the collaborative process..Encourage Others
4. Know your goal..Work Hard..
Conclusion : As an individual you can be defensive and get the work done your way..but as a group the sky is the limit if you share a common goal..

[@noaht3522]

im so perfect I don't need a group everyone else is slow

[@harriskeetse7868]

I can relate to this.

[@MontyRead]

I am INTJ as well... i can completely relate! it's really hard to collaborate!

[@angelatran2471]

i hate everything about this. a story about a self-absorbed individual that doesn't know how to work well with others until late adulthood? hate it.

[@kikatokari]

I thought my earphone were broken loll.

[@mindyourbusiness1934]

If you ever want to lead a business, you are going to need to know how to get the best out of your employees, which requires a group effort. Technical skills are just a component of what it takes to be successful. I'll invest in a group of employees led by a well-rounded smart individual who can lead, over a smart individual with no leadership ability leading other smart individuals any day.

[@AlexTSJLE]

Saying students don't have life experience is incorrect. Our family is the first place we learn about collaboration this should be spoken about more.

[@spenceranderson4563]

This is a woman expressing the same view as Gavin Mcinnes, which is also a TED talk.

[@jaigokul6008]

Emily is an innovator (if not an inventor) and it's generally a long & lonely road to travel. The collaboration comes later, when the idea has to be validated or the invention tested, brainstormed, enhanced into a project.
Sounds medieval; but true. But before she became an innovator, like many of us she had a dream. The difference lays is her early a success in life. And she has the guts to tell it as is.
We need more people like her, er, i think

[@erebus7306]

I want you to know this video was assigned to me but was worth 1 mark out of ten. Sorry but nearly 13 minutes for 1 mark is not sustainable, maybe if I was in a team and we could split it into sections.

[@bonaningwenya3728]

story of my life.

[@mynameisbill69]

team up sucks

[@DimitriosDenton]

I so guessed she was an INTJ xD
