This chapter is perfectly suited and relative to Survivor as it entails the aspects that create the alliances that decide the fate of the tribal council decisions. Through the different aspects of group motivation, tribe members learn what and how they are motivated and how these concepts will dictate their alliance position and how they…
After the reality of Josh being voted off of Survivor sinks in, the men’s alliance realize they are in a really tough position. One of their biggest problems is perhaps their leadership issue. Josh may not have been the sole or clear leader of the men’s alliance, but he certainly led the alliance and took…
