MBTI® Activity: That Sinking Feeling (PDF)(R) *
Working with teams on developing reliable and effective strategies for managing conflict? Why not break the ice with "That Sinking Feeling," a fun MBTI® exercise that prompts participants to think about the group decision-making process and how the intersection of various decision-making styles may lead to conflict.
Participants are presented with a scenario that requires them to make tough decisions and are asked to consider the quandary on their own. They then engage with one another in small groups to analyse the situation and arrive at a unanimous decision, after which each team reports out to the larger group. Be prepared to see MBTI® conflict pairs in action! The activity ends with a discussion about participants' varied reactions and the connections to type. Your main challenge is to ensure that the decisions are made within the time allotted.
Objective: to get people to consider the needs of others and make difficult decisions, which can lead to conflict due to the different needs of team members.
