There are all kinds of places that team building can take you. While
being the boss does afford you some luxuries it does not give you the
option to settle. A boss should not only be looking for ways to motivate
the staff, but should use these same ideas on themselves. Team
building activities that the boss will love can have a huge range.
Depending on what kind of boss it is, and what kind of activities are
needed within the company. Creating a team building event that is
highly based on the needs of the boss, can be a fun way for staff to
bond.
The boss, no matter who they are or where they are from, could use
team building as much as any other person in the room, if not more.
The boss is meant to encourage others and stay on task, which is why
the following team building activities were created with a boss in mind.
Let’s String Along: This is a team-building exercise that demonstrates
the interdependency of the partnership. The leader or facilitator starts
by stressing that everyone depends on others. To illustrate this point,
ask partners to indicate which members of the team they depend on.
The first person (the leader can start, if a facilitator is not used) is given
a ball of string. S/he picks out someone whom s/he relies on, and while
holding onto the end of the string, throws the ball to that person and
states the nature of the dependency. The person who just received the
ball holds onto the strand of string and tosses the ball to another
person upon whom the second person relies. Continue this process for

“web.” At the conclusion, repeat the initial point—all partners depend
on or are “tied to” one another for this project to succeed.
Name games: Bosses will love to get to know the team members
better. As working in the office may not allow the time to do so. Games
referring to names and personal interests are always great to do with
the boss.
Outdoor games: See the boss in a fun and objective way. Being in the
outdoors where everyone is equal can help you and the boss relate.
Most bosses do not have enough free time to enjoy the outdoors, so
this is something a boss will love it do as well. These games can include:
capture the flag, GPS tag and adventure games.
The boss is as much part of the team as anyone else; this makes it
important for the boss to be included in all events and games. It also
lets the staff know, the boss and management team are willing to
spend time with them, and create bonds.
