  • 1.  Looking for suggestions on team leadership simulations

    Posted 07-19-2019 09:53

    Hi all,

     I am looking for recommendations on computer or paper-based simulations that provide experiential learning related to the following team-leadership topics:

     -enabling collaboration and cohesion within teams

    -influencing laterally and upwards in an organization to facilitate cooperation with a team

    -building inclusion within diverse teams

    -coaching team members

    I will be using the simulation in an executive education program for senior directors that manage single teams (rather than teams of teams) in a financial services firm. I will post a summary of the suggestions I receive to the list. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

     

    Best regards,

    Corey

    Hi Corey,

    Have you checked out the Everest Simulation from HBR Educator resources?  I've used it several times with undergrad and MBA student teams and generally, it's straightforward to administer and students enjoy the activity.  That being said, it's not entirely clear to me the degree of meaningful insights they extract and how those lessons are applied if at all to other team situations, but I wanted to suggest it as one idea.  I have a similar interest and would be deeply grateful if you could be willing to share your final list of suggestions.

    Many thanks,
    Ellen Van Oosten
