Most of the business around the world today is accomplished in meetings.
In fact, research shows the average manager spends nearly one quarter of
his or her workweek in meetings. Yet few receive formal training in how to
participate in meetings.
You don't have to set aside special time for team meeting training. Just
reach for InterAct: Card Games for Effective Team Meeting Behavior, a
collection of four interactive games you can use during actual meetings!
Now you can turn ineffective behaviors into positive habits without taking
valuable time away from busy individuals.
InterAct Learning Outcomes:

that lead to logical conclusions

InterAct consists of 64 game
cards designed to teach and reinforce effective Task and Maintenance
Behaviors. Task behaviors help participants initiate and develop ideas,
seek and offer information, build understanding, clarify assumptions, and
summarize ideas. Maintenance behaviors are directly related to building
and maintaining favorable relationships in a group.
InterAct can be used:
- As a training activity for a
new team
- To help a group that is
struggling as a result of unproductive group behaviors
- As a periodic refresher to remind group members of the importance of positive behaviors
- To enhance interaction and
discussion skills in an inexperienced group.

four games, and suggestions for debriefing.
