Teamwork Exercise #1

Finding Commonality*

*From

thebalance.comSlide5

Step One

Divide

the meeting participants into groups of four or five people by having them number off. Slide6

Step Two

Tell the newly formed groups that their assignment is to find

10 things

they

have in

common

with every other person in the

group

that have

NOTHING to

do with

work.Slide7

Step Three

Give participants 10 to 15 minutes to complete the exercise. Have someone record the list.Slide8

Step Four

A

sk

each group to share their

completed list

with the

entire group

. Slide9

Step Five

Participants love to compare their list of items with the lists generated in the other small groups. You will want to allow a free flow of conversation,

laughter

and

sharing. Slide10

Benefits

When

team members find

commonalities,

they begin the process of building trust. And no matter how far apart they are in their opinions, it vividly demonstrates they share common ground. Slide11

Why Teams Collapse

Absence of trust

Fear of conflict

Lack of commitment

Avoidance of accountability

Inattention to resultsSlide14

Building Trust

Relying on other people builds trust.

You are

establishing the foundation of a relationship that can endure minor conflicts.

Trusting

your teammates

provides

a feeling of safety that allows ideas to emerge.

Team leaders must create an environment that does not punish vulnerability (to make mistakes).

Like a good relationship, trust must be

maintained. Slide15

Mastering Conflict

Good conflict is about unfiltered, passionate debate around

issues.

Conflict will at times be

uncomfortable.

Conflict norms must be

clear.

The fear of personal conflict should not prevent productive

debate.Slide16

Achieving Commitment

Commitment requires clarity and buy-

in.

Clarity requires avoiding assumptions and ambiguity, and reaching a clear understanding about

decisions.

Buy-in does not require consensus

team members can disagree and still commit to

decisions.Slide17

Embracing Accountability

Accountability on strong teams occurs directly among

peers.

Peer pressure and distaste of letting down colleagues will motivate a team player more than fear of punishment or

rebuke.

Team leader must demonstrate willingness to confront difficult

issues.Slide18

Focusing on Results

Great teams accomplish the results they set out to

achieve.

Team members must prioritize the team’

s collective results over individual or departmental

needs.

Teams must publicly clarify desired results and keep them

visible.Slide19

adversity.

skills.Slide21

The Power Of Team Exercises

Relieves stress levels through activities that inspire laughter and

learning.

self

-confidence and 

problem-

solving

skills.

Develops

ability to find opportunities in change and overcome

challenges. Slide22

The Power Of Team Exercises

Promotes individual and group growth with fun and memorable

experiences.Slide23

Teamwork Exercise #2

Winner/Loser*

*From

https://www.wrike.com/blog/team-building-games/Slide24

Step One

Divide

the meeting participants into groups of

two. Slide25

Step Two

Partner A shares something negative that happened in

his/her life

with Partner B. It can be a personal or work-related memory, but it has to be true. Slide26

Step Three

Then Partner A discusses the same experience again, but focuses only on the positive aspects. Slide27

Step Four

Partner B helps explore the silver lining of the bad experience. Slide28

Step Five

Afterward, they switch roles.

Slide29

Benefits

Participants discover how to reframe negative situations into learning experiences together.

They also learn the importance of shifting into positivity. Slide30

Teamwork Exercise #3

Ideas As Building Blocks*

*From

https://www.wrike.com/blog/team-building-games/Slide31

Step One

Create a fictional problem that must be solved. It could be a theoretical product, a brain teaser, a riddle, a design challenge — anything that needs a solution. Slide32

Step Two

Assemble your

team (or teams if it is a larger gathering),

and have

one member write

down

an idea to tackle the problem on

a large sheet of paper.

He/she only needs

to write a sentence or two

.Slide33

Step Three

Have

that individual pass

the paper to the person on

his/her left

, and instruct

that person to

use the new idea to

start building a solution. That person should then write a new idea.Slide34

Step Four

Continue for several rounds, and then see what the results are

. Slide35

Step Five

Revisit the original problem together as a team and identify the best strategy from the ideas presented to solve it. Share out with other teams (when gathered at larger meetings).Slide36

Benefits

This exercise shows the value of everyone’s ideas. As you work as a team, brainstorming sessions often sway towards the vocal and dominant personalities even though other team members have valuable ideas, too. By

creating a situation where these

ideas

have

equal footing, each team member’s ability to contribute is established.Slide37

A Final Thought …

Teamwork

Coming together is a beginning.

Keeping together is progress.

Working together is success.
