Team Building Games

Team building games aim to guide and encourage different personalities to work together to achieve common goals. There are numerous fun activities which involve groups interacting informally to solve various non-critical problems or to work together to win a challenge. These are great social team building games, but they do rely on more outgoing personalities for their success. Stronger personalities usually come to the fore in these situations and guide or direct activities.

Also, some people prefer to get to know more about their colleagues without a high degree of participation in physical activities and games. They may feel more comfortable participating in a more passive way such as taking part in a written or online quiz, which would achieve the same purpose.

Another useful objective of team building games would be to first reach some understanding of the personalities within a team, and then to obtain some visual input about how they will work together.

An easy way for a facilitator to encourage everyone's input as well as first defining the individual components of the team would be to use the Management by Color online team building tool.

Management by Color is a quick and simple tool to plot the behavioral dimensions of individuals, and then compare them visually in color, instead of comparing them in "labels". Individuals can assess themselves within a few minutes, and for further interest (and if they are willing), their colleagues can assess them so that a comparison can be made, which in itself can be revealing! A visual graphic is produced which shows everyone's positions within a color spectrum and some interesting conclusions and discoveries can be made....... try our demo now!
