Customer Reviews
COULD DO BETTER
I found this book, although well presented, limited in its usefulness for most of the facilitation work I am responsible for. The games are sometimes too complex or a lot of work for little outcome. I found it gave me ideas to then develop in my own way.
2 thumbs down
I bought this book back in January and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, judging from previous reviews I thought it would be a good tool. As a team facilitator I can honestly say this book is a dud! I have held countless team building and team spirit workshops and/or meetings and not once did I find a suitable exercise!
Good book for building good teams
I enjoyed reading the introduction chapter of the book, which contains a lot of good examples, dos and donots. The only bad thing to write about the book is that some of games are too american and difficult to adapt to other cultures.
