Discover our 5 tips for leading a team building session efficiently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How should you lead a team building session with people who don\u2019t know each other? You should choose an icebreaker exercise<\/strong> with rules that are short, simple and easy to understand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exercise \u201cthe colour of tastiness\u201d<\/strong>, for instance, enables the participants to start chatting away, while also learning to get to know each other better. The principle is easy: each player takes a coloured sweet, in turn. Each colour corresponds to a piece of information that they must share (a funny story about the previous day, or from their childhood, something they found out last week, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a simple and sociable activity that will kick off your day in an unusual way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a team building exercise, all the participants must be asked to speak, beyond the icebreaker phase. The person hosting the event mustn\u2019t be the only speaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on when the important moments are scheduled, this could take the form of a sharing of experience, a discussion about your skills or active involvement in a brainstorming session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organising a team building event entails changing the ordinary mode of communication, in order to break up the routine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This could take the form of circular communication<\/strong>, whether spontaneous or pre-prepared, whereby all of the group\u2019s members talk about a given subject, and the others are given the opportunity to ask questions or react to what is said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At formal meetings, the bickering and digressions can sometimes leave those present feeling frustrated and confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a teambuilding event, break the mould<\/strong> by opting for a venue that is radically different from the ordinary working environment, such as a cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the same token, you can capture \u2013 and above all retain<\/strong> \u2013 the team\u2019s attention by offering certain workshops, such as a \u2018stand-up meeting<\/strong>\u2019 or a \u2018walking meeting<\/strong>\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organising a team building session effectively means including games in the team-building event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put simply, games encourage team spirit and participation<\/strong>. From playing the ball of wool game to filming a TV commercial, there are a number of activities that can bring the team together and instil a lasting sense of team spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTip no. 2: Let everyone speak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tip no. 3 : Vary the mode of communication of your team building event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
