Time:
The exercise in this module can be completed in about 40 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 60 minutes for this module.

Aims:
• To encourage participants to identify an appropriate management style based on the individual they are dealing with, the role they are doing and what the team needs them to do.

Group Size:
This module can be used with groups of up to 25 participants.

Useful For:
Participants who have managerial responsibility (or those who will have imminently).

You'll Need:
• Post it notes and Blu-Tack.
• Lengths of string about 1 metre/3 feet long. (You’ll need two lengths for each team of 3 or 4 participants.)
• Plenty of space.

Notes:
This exercise can work as a stand-alone training exercise for new managers. It is designed to look at the role of the manager and explore suitable approaches for managing individual team members.

You will need to clear a large space (on the floor or on tables) for the main part of the exercise.
