TEAMWORK HOW TO BUILD A DYNAMIC TEAM

Team Building Challenge - ‘What a Marshmallow reveals about collaboration’

Purpose:For each group to consider the concepts and then apply that knowledge in the team task and to review the outcomes.

Reference; Tom Wujec, ‘Build a Tower Build a Team’


Team Building Challenge - ‘What a Marshmallow reveals about collaboration’

Challenge Resources and objective:The objective is to build the tallest freestanding structure and the marshmallow must remain on top8 groups x 5 members each with;• 20 sticks of dry spaghetti• 1 yard of masking tape, • 1 yard of twine• 1 marshmallow (any color)• 18 minutes.

TEAMWORK HOW TO BUILD A DYNAMIC TEAMTeam Building Challenge - ‘What a Marshmallow reveals about collaboration’

Team Captains present outcomes of their challenge experience.

Reference; Tom Wujec, ‘Build A Tower Build A Team’


“There’s something about this exercise that reveals very deep lessons about the nature of collaboration,” says Wujec in the video. 1. Recent business school graduates perform poorly. “They lie, they would cheat, they get distracted, and they produce really lame structures,” he says. The average tower by all participants in the exercise is 20 inches; the average tower by b-school grads is only 10 inches.2. Recent graduates of kindergarten perform well. The average tower by kindergarten graduates measures 26 inches b-school graduates tend to wait until the end of the 18 minutes to add the marshmallow to the top of their structures. When the structures collapse, the b-school teams enter something like a crisis mode. The kindergarten grads, by contrast, tend to incorporate the marshmallow into their designs early on, averting last-second crises.Other fascinating results: CEO quartets design towers that measure 21 inches on average. But when you add an executive admin to the CEO teams, their towers shoot up to an average of 30 inches. “[The executive admins] have special skills of facilitation,” says Wujec. “They manage the process.”Perhaps the most dramatic result came on a day when Wujec – performing the experiment with teams of design students – decided to offer a $10,000 incentive to the group building the tallest structure. Despite the hefty prize, not one of the 10 teams participating was able to produce a standing structure. “If anyone had built even a one-inch structure, they would’ve taken the prize,” he says.
