Tom Wujec: Build a tower, build a team - 0 views

  •  
    Presented on TED.COM, filmed Feb 2010 and posted April 2010. Wujec discusses his experience using the Marshmallow Challenge in team-building exercises.

High stakes (he's offered a cash reward) works better once the team has acquired skills; high stakes with no skills is a disaster.
