ìWhatís The Word?î
Motivation depends on beliefs. Research indicates that belief is an important variable in determining employee motivation to accomplish an objective. Perceiving an objective as do-able enhances the employeeís motivation to do it. “Whatís The Word?” is a thought provoking group exercise designed to show managers that a balance must be found in setting objectives that are challenging yet achievable. The game begins with participants being organized into three or more groups. Each group is given a list of 12 scrambled words and an objective to unscramble the words within a specific time limit. Unknown to the teams, there are three different lists of scrambled words — easy, challenging yet achievable, and impossible. Teams play two rounds, reporting their results to the group between rounds, and thus re-emphasizing that the objective is for each group to unscramble their list of words.
Ring Toss Game
Essential to gaining employee commitment to objectives is getting employee participation in the setting of objectives. The objective setting Ring Toss Game is designed to show managers, supervisors and team leaders the importance of their interaction in goal setting.
To play the game, participants are paired into two or more groups (teams). In one or more groups, the team leader plays an autocratic (dictatorial) role, setting goals without group input. In the remaining groups, the team leader and members decide on and set goals together.
