I control something that you want (Like a teacher controls a grade)
What is meant by “power is historical”?

What is meant by “Admitting Mistakes Increases Power”?
When we admit mistakes it restores trust
What is an inward mindset?
Viewing someone as an obstacle, vehicle, object. This turns us inward which leads to behaviors that keep your group from solving problems. I am only concerned about myself and what I need.
What is an outward mindset?
We see people as people that are worthy of our consideration who are worthy of our time and attention which leads to a different set of behaviors and a different set of results. Allows for collaboration.
Task roles:

Negative roles
playing a role to make the group worse and hurt the relationships (social loafer). Hurts either task roles, maintenance roles, or both.

Correlation vs causation
logical fallacy
a. People confuse correlation with causation. Two phenomena may be associated without being causally connected.
b. Ex) There is a high correlation between the number of Baptists who live in a certain area in the U.S. and the frequency of tornadoes in the same areas. There isn’t a good reason to assume that Baptists cause tornadoes. It’s just an accidental or spurious correlation.
Slippery slope
a. alleges that a chain reaction of cause and effect events will take place, culminating in some calamity.
b. ex) if we allow students to wear hats in class, soon they’ll be demanding to wear pajamas and then we’ll have complete chaos in the classroom
Hasty generalization: Jumping to conclusions
a. jumping to a conclusion based on limited information. Someone doesn’t have enough facts needed to form a reliable conclusion.
b. Ex) all people from paris are mean.
Ad Hominem
