Implementing a team effectiveness exercise enhances team dynamics by encouraging members to identify each other's strengths and areas for improvement. Each participant is tasked with noting one positive attribute that their peers excel at and should continue to develop, focusing on behavioral aspects rather than mere skills. Following this, they must also identify one behavior that needs to be modified or introduced for better team performance. This process fosters a candid environment where feedback is shared, typically taking around 60 to 90 minutes for the entire team to engage. Initially, each member receives affirming feedback about what they contribute well, followed by constructive criticism that highlights necessary growth areas. While the exercise can be emotionally taxing and, in rare instances, lead to conflict, its consistent implementation over 24 years indicates its effectiveness in promoting open dialogue and constructive feedback, ultimately strengthening team cohesion and performance.
