FBLA GAMES
Activity Description: This activity is a structured leadership example exchange.
Divide the group into groups of three. From the list of "situations" below, instruct the groups to
take turns giving examples of something they have done or witnessed.
Leadership Situations:
•A creative twist on a situation or issue.
•A clever improvisation--"dancing on your feet"
•A pleasant surprise
•An Aha moment
•Something that generated a great deal of excitement
•A conflict resolved
•A breakthrough insight or solution
•A really tough situation
•A blindside experience
•A moving (emotional) situation
Activity Description: In this activity team members bring to the team a
“real work situation” that they have recently encountered.
One at a time, members relate their situation as objectively as they can,
being careful not to reveal how they handled it.
After each example the full team brainstorms for strategies asking
themselves “What would be the best way to deal with this situation?”
This activity should help the group to formulate best practices and draw to
the surface core team values.
Activity Description:
Whether working with teams or an organization, I almost always use a design team to help insure
that any tool I implement is “tailored” to best fit their needs.
Generally I introduce the Stop Doing List in the following way:
“Undoubtedly you have made hundreds of ‘to do’ lists.
Perhaps it is time to generate a ‘stop doing’ list; a list of outmoded procedures to discard.”
The questions developed by the design team are then introduced.
A partial list created by one operations team is listed below:
•What tasks could we simplify or eliminate without affecting quality?
•What activities do we justify with the phrase, “That’s how we’ve always done it.”
•What methods do we currently use that don’t work well at all?
