Members of a winning team recognise that they all have a part to play in their success, and that all individuals must be willing to accept their own share of the load. Whilst every team needs its ‘star’ players, long-term success is only likely to be achieved as a result of all team members taking one step forward in unison, and not just one or two people taking individual steps, leaving the rest behind.
You brief the participants for the task – ‘brief’ is the operative word as the handouts set out the task in great detail, so you don’t need to spend too long telling them what it’s about. The participants plan how they will tackle the task, and then do it. You close the training activity by reviewing the photographs, leading into a closing review discussion.
