BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN DIFFERENT MODES OF THINKING
Gaming approaches
A leaders’ board for critical thinking. Assessing team maturity. Aligning team members’ statements with the team’s true desires.
My secret to success lies in my ability to understand another person's point of view and see things from both their perspective and my own.
Team-building events can be fun, but research-based games can achieve equally powerful results with far less effort. Our set of team games is designed to avoid the psychological safety traps that such rituals often create—like the “360-degree assessment.”
We draw on decades of proven research. “The Five Stages of Team Development” by Tuckman addresses a question every leader asks sooner or later: “Why do we have so much chaos and conflict right now?” “The Wisdom of Teams” by Katzenbach and Smith answers another: “Why aren’t we a real team yet?”
You can even measure talent retention effectiveness—without surveys and without expensive external research.
