Here is a way to bring out one more dynamic that runs throughout this chapter. Can individuals outperform either sort of team? Test it. Call this added experiment Virtuous Virtual or Regal Real?

a. Offer this challenge. Ask for two volunteers who believe they can get this job done better alone. They may not communicate with any classmate during the week. On their honor, they will bring to class a logo and brand slogan that is entirely their own creation. 

b. Note here that some may jump at this as a chance to “save time” over the week by not having to meet in person or online. Others may really believe that at this particular task, they will excel, escaping being muted by the common denominator of the team.

c. Run day two of the exercise as has been laid out in the chapter; however, give the solo performers time to present their logos and brands. Then, run the judging. 

d. Did the teams win out over the solos? If so, why? If not, why?
