Perception and Decision Making

In Team EPIC, we have all found a common perception as a group - the environment is an important part of our lives that needs to be maintained and taken care of. Because we all share this perception that the environment needs help, we decided to work together as a team to fix this problem. Together, we have gathered information regarding pollution in the Milwaukee River and surrounding water bodies and then decided together to participate in a public clean-up. This perception our group shares has led to our decision to "change the world" by taking this active role in restoring and helping the environment. It is also important to see how our views and decisions are influenced by our personalities, as this is an important aspect of perception. We have seen in Team EPIC many similiar and different personality traits which all work together to our group's advantage. Our perceptions that have led to team decision-making have all been very positive and encouraging, and the results of our work prove to be promising.
