Today's Assignment:

• Module 7 Lesson 1 Assignment

Module 7 Lesson 1 Assignment - Survival on the Moon
For your Lesson 1 Practice Activity yesterday, you offered examples and non-examples of decision-making concepts. Today you will apply what you know about decision-making to real-world leadership.  After you read the scenario, download the template.  For Part I, rank your items - be sure to offer detailed explanations of each ranking.  Then complete Part II by identifying the decision-making parts you used to rank your items.  Review Lesson 1 and your Practice Activity to be sure you understand each decision-making part.  Then assess your list.  Note the example below:

Term	Your Rankings	Example	Non-Example	Why
Risk Neutral	10 Gallons of Water	X		Since your most important needs include food and water, you place "10 Gallons of Water" high on your list to ensure you will survive.  You know the average 154 lb person needs at least 32 ounces of water a day to survive.  You also know there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon of water meaning 1 gallon will last 1 man 4 days and 1 gallon will last 4 men for 1 day.  You know someone is searching for you, but you still fear that it will take longer than 10 days for you to be rescued.  You also know that to get to the lunar outpost, you must travel 50 miles and 10 gallons of water is equivalent to about 83 pounds meaning it is quite heavy to take that far.  You balance the risk of carrying water with the risk of it being so heavy and rank "10 Gallons of Water" high on your list. Balancing the pros and cons of the risk mean you are risk neutral.
