No I am not a CIVIL ENGINEER and no I have not built any tower for that matter. But yes when you are in prof Mandi's class u get to build tower- from small cubes. Yes there are some rules too- U have to place the cubes one above the other so as to build the highest tower and tower is not allowed to take any support.
This task is done in different forms-
1. Individually
2. In team
3. In team with the person building the tower is blind folded.

This exercise has a lot to offer to anyone who is looking to setup an organization or one who is part of an organization. It helped us in understanding the importance of goal setting. In any organization, effective goal setting is an essential ingredient for the professional well-being of the employees. It is rightly said that “Most of the employees don’t leave a company but they leave their managers”. An organization consists of two different entities: Employees and Managers. Effective goal setting done by the managers, taking into consideration the needs of the employees, will go a long way in maintaining a good bonding of the employees with their company.
Some of the findings when the exercise was done in different form was -
1. When done individually the person was able to build higher tower as compared to the team - This means that it is relatively difficult to work in team. The performance of the team can be improved only when their is good coordination among the team members.
2. The expectations fell when the team with blind folded person started the exercise - This is human tendency, that they tends to expect very less in case of negative circumstances.
These exercise also helped us learn how important it is to set the right goals for an individual so that he remains always motivated. The equation for goal setting is -
Goal set >Goal achieved >= Goal achieved historically
This is the basic principle which should always be followed.
