Product Description: This addition to the best-selling Big Book of Business Games Series is packed with over 40 original games and exercises managers can use to motivate their teams--and themselves. The Big Book of Motivational Games presents managers with a variety of games that can be customized to suit their specific needs and group size. The book provides games designed to: - Stop Procrastination - Beat burnout - Fight boredom - Boost performance - Overcome failure
Not at all what was expected The book contains nothing that will be of value to our organization. In fact, most aren't really games at all. I was looking for some fun activites to motivate the staff and I should have spent the money from this book on cookies instead!
Could be a good place to go I was expecting something a little different. I did enjoy browsing the games and saw where they may be a good fit at some of the things that I have to lead. I'm glad to know that there is a book like this around.
The big book of motivationa games After skinmming thru this reference book, I am excited that it has several activities that I will use in my trainings.
A Good Place to Start I utilize this book quite often to kick off sales meetings and have found the exercises to be fun and always with a point. My groups seem to enjoy them as well. This is a great book for people who needs ideas, but tend to run out of them.
Not many real games I was disappointed with this one. The Big Book of... series tends to be hit-and-miss. This one's a miss. There seems to be a shortage of actual games, and a lot more ideas for how to get a good healthy discussion about Topic X. If that's all you need, this may be a good one. I was looking for actual games and activities...found a lot of them in Miller's Quick Teambuilding Activites for Busy Managers. But all the activities in that book are short, so if you need anything to last more than 15-20 minutes, try Ukens' All Together Now--some of them are longer (for retreats and other long meetings).
