The art of cooperation is something we are taught as children. For some reason, many of us forget that lesson when we enter the front door of work. This exercise is designed to let participants experience how fun cooperation and teamwork can be.
As with many of our exercises, the exercise simply cannot be accomplished without the effort of every person on the team or group. The same is true at work, although we all want to think we can do everything ourselves. Only the single entrepreneur actually does everything themselves. The rest of us depend upon other people to take care of certain tasks, sometimes incredibly important tasks.
Funny Slots http://fslots.com.ua/is not only a catalog of free slot machines of different genres. Also on the site you will find a selection of verified and honest virtual casinos, where you can play these same slots for real money without the risk of being cheated. Platform experts also shared the nuances of choosing a quality slot machine, various strategies, tips and secrets of the game.
However, we often don’t try to work as a team unless we have to. This exercise lets participants experience what can be done as a team and how much fun it can be.
A glimpse into Bull Ring:
Moving a ball from one spot to another using a ring and some rope is the object of Bull Ring. Although initially quite easy, we have provided instructions and materials to help increase the difficulty on a whim.
Typically, we run each group through several times with increasing difficulty and continually changing the rules during each run, simulating the effect of the constant changing business environment and the need to continually adapt to change.
Who should buy this game?
When your goal is to get participants to cultivate a yen for learning and appreciate its importance in the ever changing business arena, then choosing Bull Ring will most certainly transform the mindset of your group.
What may the group learn from Bull Ring?
Frequently, when we feel a task is easily accomplished, we do not take the time to strategize about how it will be accomplished. This makes sense but what doesn’t is that, even when clearly more difficult, we don’t stop and plan. When we should. This is one of the many potential conversations your group may have from this activity. Below are some additional, more specific outcomes:
Communication
Communication is a foundation for every a team and so is a big piece of any activity a group or team goes through. However, running this activity can show show exactly how the team communicates, for good and bad. This activity can be extremely frustrating for groups that don’t work well together. This is a GOOD thing! Overcoming adversity, especially when tough, helps give your group the conversation you need to become stronger.
Teamwork
Working as a single unit rarely happens in life. Much like communication, practicing to become better at a team is important. There are many complexities to how a team works together and experiential activities show us what do DO not what we KNOW. We all know how to be a good teammate but actually DOING it is something else. Team activities like this are a great way for teams to practice and become stronger together. As the group moves the balls from one place to another, they get dropped (great metaphor, by the way) because they don’t work together. The group must start over and over and over. It becomes hard to ‘stay positive’. Starting to sound ‘real life’, right? It should because we want to create experiences that people can learn from and become better.
Interdependence
Every action taken by one person affects everyone else. This is the very definition of interdependence. Using an activity like this to demonstrate interdependence on a team can be incredibly useful to create conversation about how this is working, or not, in ‘real life’. While we can easily acknowledge our actions in a game, it is much more challenging to do the same when it comes to life. This activity provides a metaphor for your group to discuss many of those un-discussables’.
