"Engaging in the group vs team activity was exactly what we needed to enhance our culture of intentional collaboration with our leadership group. It allowed us to clearly see the impact of working in teams in a fun and insightful way and was a great reminder of how important it is to have intentional focus on our shared goals. The session was facilitated in such a way that participants could take it back and lead their own staff through the activity. One of the best aspects of partaking in the group vs team activity was the high level of engagement and practicality of how it was delivered."
Download the guide and you’ll receive a workshop activity that will have your staff:
- Participate in a fun and engaging task as an individual, a group and a team
- Reflect upon the results achieved in each of those scenarios
- Determine the key factors that contribute to the difference between operating as a group versus operating as a team
The “Are We a Group or a Team?” activity is a powerful way to demonstrate what makes an effective team and what we can achieve when we move beyond simply operating as a group.
