Let Go My Ego Team Building Activity Description Brief Overview of Let Go My Ego:Participants from two equal lines facing one another. With index fingers at waist level, a bar is placed upon the fingers. The bar must be lowered below the knees while all fingers maintain contact with the bar. Sounds simple, right? It's not. As you can see in the right picture, the bar immediately goes up!Communication: This is where many teams fall short. Good communication is the real 'win' on this exercise, not actually lowering the bar. If the team can treat each other with respect and maintain open lines of communication while failing, frustrated and somewhat stressed, the team is in great shape.This problem is exacerbated because each individual is in fact doing their part. Each individual is fulfilling their role and responsibility and yet the entire team is failing to meet the goal. This is where much of the stress and frustration will come from because many individuals will assume that someone is NOT fulfilling their responsibility.Problem Solving:Since the exercise is almost impossible, it will be necessary for the team to try it several times. As the ideas are thrown around, many will simply be discarded without discussing them. A potentially important point of discussion is how the group arrived at a solution and whether any good suggestions were not discussed and why.Because this event is so difficult, the problem solving and strategizing may become an important aspect for the group to focus on instead of the event itself. This is especially true if the group does well with the communication aspect.Be sure to have enough time to debrief the exercise and discuss what has happened. If there is not enough time to thoroughly discuss the breakdowns, you should not utilize this event. Features: Participants: 8 20.
