We are all part of various teams throughout our lives, often without even realizing it. Whether at work, on sports teams, in school committees, or within service groups, we come together with individuals we may not know well, yet we are tasked with achieving significant goals. The team dynamic can make or break the team's success in achieving its goals.
To ensure that your team is functioning at its best, it's important to support one another, develop consensus, and effectively manage any disagreements that may arise. The Team Dynamics Thumball offers a fun and engaging way to explore these essential questions and foster teamwork. Facilitating open discussions helps teams uncover how they can reach their full potential. If you're looking for fun teamwork activities, this is a great tool to spark conversation and collaboration.
⚽ How It Works
⚽ How It Works
Using the Team Dynamics Thumball, you can address critical questions that help clear the air, such as:
- "What's the best thing about being on a team?"
- "What's the most challenging aspect of our team?"
- "What should we do if someone isn't pulling their weight?"
- "How can we effectively manage disagreements?"

Why do Thumballs work?
What began as a conversation starter has grown into a deeply insightful training tool. Discover why they work from Dr. Sue Landy of Trainer's Warehouse.

Enhance Learning and Engagement
Thumballs actively engage participants in the learning process and spark insightful and introspective questions. When participants are engaged in their learning, they are more likely to remember and apply what they learned to their work.

Improve Communication and Collaboration
Thumballs promote active listening and participation in group discussions as participants respond to and build off of what the speaker said. By thoughtfully listening to others and responding to the prompts on the Thumballs, participants develop stronger interpersonal connections, leading to stronger communication and increased collaboration among team members.

Encourage a Positive Work Culture
When using Thumballs thoughtfully, you promote a culture of inclusivity, where employees feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with one another. Thumballs also help foster a sense of community by encouraging employees to learn more about one another in a meaningful way. When employees feel respected, valued, and safe, each employee contributes to creating a positive work environment.

Support Professional Development
Thumballs help develop key professional skills by prompting discussions on topics like leadership, personality style, diversity, teamwork, and more. Each prompt encourages participants to self-reflect on their strengths and weaknesses, and meaningful group conversations spark ideas to grow and improve.
