Résumé

No experience necessary: Any manager can build great teams with these simple exercises.

Every group can benefit from team-building exercises. But sometimes it's not practical to embark on a full-scale training initiative. Now, supervisors, managers, and team leaders have 50 team-building activities to choose from, all of which can be implemented with no special facilities, big expense, or previous training experience. Readers will find engaging exercises for:

Building new teams and helping teams with new members
Dealing with change and its effects: anger, fear, frustration, and more
Recognizing individual efforts and team accomplishments
Finding creative ways to work together and solve problems
Increasing and improving communication
Leveraging diversity and individual differences to meet team goals
Keeping competition healthy and productive within the team

Instructions and tips for follow-up and variations are included for each activity, and an additional chapter provides valuable advice for working through unexpected difficulties in team-building.
