308 – It’s All in a Word
Purpose/Objectives: People who are new to the team process need guides
and role models. While we cannot produce a living,
breathing ideal team member, we can agree on a series
of words that describe the role model. A description of
the ideal team member will give the new team
members a better idea of how to recognize a good team
member. And the words will describe a role model.
This is a valuable exercise that can be used as an ice-
breaker and discussion stimulator. It is particularly
effective when used early in the session, because it can
help new participants visualize an effective team
member.
