On several occasions, I had the privilege to moderate the Leadership Game. Hang on a minute, a leadership game? Leadership is a serious matter, you know!
Exactly, I thought the same.
The experience I had moderating the game truly touched me.
Emotional experience
I saw people telling colleagues about their strengths, complementing each other, and debating ways to be authentic in the workplace, which was emotional for many of them.
It worked so well because it combined a game with a winner and a lot of fun, along with deep discussion and thought-provoking questions.
Most touching question
The question that touched the participants and me the most was, “Write on a post-it the strength of each participant and give it to her/him”. What follows was terrific! Each spent minutes thinking about what amazes them about their colleagues. Receiving these was equally touching, as one participant shared how she always dreamed of being strong at a particular skill but never thought she was. What touched her deeply was that more than 40% of the Post-its she received were about that specific strength, and that… she already possessed it.
It is always touching to see teams coming together and thinking about improving their organisation.
Feedback
Here is what the participants at the Sarawak Convention Bureau have shared with me:
“The Leadership game was really amazing. Thank you so much for training us”. Amelia, Roziman, COO
“The Leadership game is enjoyable; it will help your organisation discover its sweet spots, the issue and help one another ‘bear their soul’. It was a very valuable session. I think every organisation should go through this game, at least once” Dylan Redas Noel, Head of Industry Development
“I thought the training with Joël was very enriching and interesting. His method of teaching was very easy to understand, especially with the game element that really brought interactive opportunities between team members and for us to explore some issue such as integrity, communication and credibility and also what it takes to be a good leader. The best part of the training I thought was it encourages a lot of discussions, especially the game part, so thank you very much. I think it would be a very good thing to have this training for your company” Jamie Wang, Head of Bids and Communications
