If you ask managers what makes their teams effective and efficient, they invariably mention 4 key ingredients:
- GOOD COMMUNICATION WITHIN TEAMS
- GREAT TEAMWORK
- STRONG ATTENTION TO DETAIL
- EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT
These skills are all needed in our bestselling Deadline 30 Minutes! training activity.
It’s ideal for assessing the above skills as well as being perfect at the start of any training session to benchmark these critical skills.
We've recently given it a design makeover so it's raring to go!
What’s it all about?
It’s for teams of 4 or 5. Each team member has their own Brief which is different from the others. Information on the Briefs can only be shared verbally, not physically - which is where good communications come in.
The overall objective is to pay a number of workers. Each member of the team has details of some of the workers and what they are owed. This data needs collating - which is where great teamwork comes in.
Counters are used to represent money and the wages must be bagged up and labelled (bags and labels supplied). There are slightly more counters than are required - which is where strong attention to detail comes in. Some teams stuff spare counters into random packages thinking they have made an error somewhere…!
And it all has to be done to a strict deadline – against a timer counting down from 30 minutes to 0 - which is where effective time management comes in.
The question is…
Can your teams be their best under pressure, fulfil the Brief and end dead on time with the wages all neatly bagged up (and with two specific counters left spare on the table)?
There’s only one way to find out! Order today for this great test of effective time and team management. See below for testimonials from Trainers who already have!
And if your teams don’t manage to complete the challenge, you can be sure there will be plenty to discuss during the Debrief where you can extract the key learning points and ensure improved team performance back in the workplace.
