Hi Andrea, I do a task for all 5 delegates together that helps to identify some Belbin team types. I have 2 packs of playing cards (1 red, 1 blue) face upwards and spread out on a table. Take out 3 or 4 cards and gave them 10 mins to sort the cards into packs with aces high and starting, diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades and identify any anomalies. You identify the finishers who check their watch and saying we only have a few mins left and the team worker who tries to organise people and the leader (shaper) who tells everyone what they should do etc. I usually cover the cards on the table with a flip chart giving the instructions then reveal whats underneath, and then give them the 10 mins and check that they do the task correctly, and take notes whilst they are working on what you notice for feedback. Hope this works for you Kate |

Hi Andrea,
If it's senior leadership team, I know that mine aren't always receptible to ice breakers, I just use them to break up long training sessions. Is it to run at the beginning of a day's training? Or are they just getting together for 30mins to go through this? To engage with them give them an out of work scenario and mix it up a bit by instead of them just solving it, give the different outcomes on a list and ask them to choose who would do what. This invites a much more realisation/ awareness discussion around how well they know each other. How can they support each other. What can they do to make the team stronger when solving problems.
See what happens...! |
