Personal question · Motivation, Collaboration
Carrying on without results
Some shared efforts take a long time to show results, and the work can feel unseen. Think about a group effort where you kept contributing even though you could not tell whether it was working, and others were relying on you.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you kept contributing to a shared effort when you could not see it paying off and others depended on you. What kept you going, and what did it cost you?
- 2Describe a time you considered stepping back from a group commitment, or did so. How did you weigh your own limits against what the group needed from you?
