Description
Watch the re:Work video on assessing and developing a team for a mission to Mars. (Links to an external site.)
Then, answer the following questions (please note: you should be familiar with the content in ch. 6 before answering these):
- What criteria (performance outcomes) did NASA use in the selection process of team members for the mission to Mars?
- What are some of the predictors (assessments that are used to predict performance) that Dr. Blackwell-Landon notes were particularly important in their team selection process?
- The research scientists at NASA make the assessment context and process as similar to the actual working conditions of the Mars team as possible. In other words, the research and assessment team has spent considerable time mimicking the the conditions and environments on Mars in their assessments. Why is creating alignment between assessment conditions and actual workplace conditions important for all organizations?
- What is an example of how you think your team can incorporate the work environment or job characteristics into the measurement of the tasks associated with your job?
- What other questions do you have about assessment broadly or in the context of the Mars mission specifically?
