本周的团队活动将深入探讨效率与优化以及领导力的概念。通过挑战多层次问题的形式，学生们不仅将磨练自己的协作能力，还将学习如何在有限的时间内优化策略，从而实现最佳结果。此外，他们还将探索不同的领导风格，学习如何在团队中以身作则，带领团队走向成功。
This week’s Teams activity focuses on the concepts of efficiency, optimization, and leadership. Through a challenging ladder-style problem-solving task, students will work together to refine their strategies and improve their team’s performance. The activity is designed to help them understand the importance of aligning team efforts and optimizing resources to achieve the best outcomes within a limited time. Additionally, they will explore different leadership styles and learn how effective leadership can guide a team to success.

本周，我们向学生们提出了一个“阶梯挑战”。五个问题，一小时，每个层级的难度逐渐增加。这是帮助学生们打破常见的“赢或输”二元对立思维的一种方式，同时探讨优化的概念。团队会轻松通过前几个关卡，但他们是如何赢得的呢？早期的错误或不协调的策略将消耗宝贵的时间。因此，只有那些最协调、效率最高的团队才能在时间耗尽前到达终点。
This week, we’re presenting students with a “ladder challenge”. Five problems. One hour. Each level more difficult than the last. It’s a way to break free of the common “win-or-lose” dichotomy and explore the concept of optimization. Teams will win the first few levels, sure. But win… how? Early mistakes or uncoordinated strategies will cost precious time. As a result, only the teams that are the most aligned and most efficient will be able to reach the finish line before time runs out.

Here are some follow-up reflection questions, in case you’d like to discuss the experience with your child.
- 什么样的品质能让一个团队达到最高（或最低）的效率？
What qualities make a team work at its most (or least) efficient? - 什么样的品质能让一个领导者在其职位上最（或最不）有效？
What qualities make a leader be at their most (or least) effective?

“领导力”是一个简单的词，但在深入探讨时，实际上它相当复杂。领导者可以是具有魅力的、民主的或是专制的；他们可以在前面、旁边或后面领导。本周，每个情景都呈现了三种类型的领导方式，学生们将讨论哪种方式最适合当前情况。在此过程中，他们将接触到一些具有挑战性的高阶词汇（如“自由放任式、交易式”），但不必担心——目标不是记住定义，而是开始在Synthesis这个低风险的环境中熟悉这些高级概念。
“Leadership” is a simple term, but upon examination, it’s actually quite complex. Leaders can be charismatic, democratic, or autocratic; they can lead from the front, from the side, or from the back. This week, each scenario presents three types of leadership, and students discuss which one would work best for the situation. Doing so will introduce some challenging new vocabulary (”laissez-faire, transactional”), but not to worry — the objective isn’t to memorize definitions: it’s to start gaining familiarity with high-level concepts in the low-risk environment of Synthesis.
