Peer Answer:

I was put into a group during culinary school to create a menu for a gourmet dinner to serve a couple of hundred people. There was a area of the world that was the theme for the dinner. All of the sections which was 4 were split up and had to work with other students from different sections. After the teacher had chosen the groups and the themes we were sent out to research and plan. When we all got into our groups there was a little silence and waiting for someone to take charge. Once someone took charge then it got interesting. Ralph starts thinking about what types of food are specific to the region, getting some of the ideas flowing. Then Ken starts changing the ideas from Ralph into new ideas that are spins of what is native. Mary is giving small input based on facts of specific ways that things were cooked in the region before. As all of the ideas start flowing and becoming more finalized Jenny decides to write all the final ideas down and keep the ideas that everyone has agreed on organized. Steph then started to rethink and ask questions based on previous dinners she has done. When things got to off track Ben had gotten everything back to where it needed to be. Fred had been making sure that everyone has contributing to the decisions and being involved during the collaboration. By having the different personalities and roles it kept the conversation on track and moving towards decisions.
