Synopsis
Every group can benefit from team-building exercises. But sometimes it's not practical to embark on a full-scale training initiative. Now, supervisors, managers, and team leaders have 50 team-building activities to choose from, all of which can be implemented with no special facilities, big expense, or previous training experience. Readers will find engaging exercises for:
* Building new teams and helping teams with new members
* Dealing with change and its effects: anger, fear, frustration, and more
* Recognizing individual efforts and team accomplishments
* Finding creative ways to work together and solve problems
* Increasing and improving communication
* Leveraging diversity and individual differences to meet team goals
* Keeping competition healthy and productive within the team
Instructions and tips for follow-up and variations are included for each activity, and an additional chapter provides valuable advice for working through unexpected difficulties in team-building.

July 25, 2006: Awesome! What more can I say about this book? I was thoroughly impressed with the quick, easy way the book was set up. I am a new VP of HR in my company of 50 employees. I am not a trained HR guy, so I was looking for something to help me. It was recommended, by a friend, to get this book. Boy, am I ever glad I did! This book not only gives you ideas on activities, but possible things that could go wrong during an activity and how to plan for them. I felt confident and relaxed as I gave my first team building activity using the suggestions given by Mr. Miller. Let me tell you, if I am having success with this, anyone with any amount of HR experience can. This best thing is that the activities are quick and easy to learn! Thank you Mr. Miller!!! Adam Cope

March 12, 2006: I tried this out prior to my detachment deploying to Iraq. This book was instrumental in helping each other learn about each other, learn to work together, and overall build enthusiasm. Key to it is as the manager/leader you have to be enthusiastic and believe it will work. My team had so much fun they looked forward to them more and more. They all are quick and easy, just a matter of having the resources.
