Assignment:

It's time to get creative! Outline and describe a team-building activity addressing low employee motivation and/or poor team performance. Then, discuss how you would convert the activity to address a virtual/remote team.

As you build your team activity, consider the following:

• What is your purpose? Why is the team-building activity needed?
• What is the size and demographic of the team?
• Is the team new or seasoned?
• Is there already a foundation of trust?
• Do any performance or motivational issues need to be addressed individually first?
• How do you make the exercise valuable and worth the team's time?
• How does the outcome of the activity contribute to the health of the greater group or organization?
