Book excerpt: Research has shown that there is no better way to foster team spirit and promote harmony than to engage team members in experiential learning activities that impart lessons or encourage insight through direct experience or practice, as opposed to listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration. This collection of specially selected experiential learning activities represent the very best team activities drawn from Pfeiffer's Annuals and Handbooks over the past thirty years. Never before published in one volume, these classic activities-- personally selected by e-learning magazine executive editor Jack Gordon-- are those that have stood the test of time. Gordon presents forty engaging, excellently conceived and designed team-building exercises that help to build trust, improve communication, understand roles, and improve performance among team members. These are the exercises experienced trainers remember with the most fondness, and the ones up-and-coming trainers need to have in their toolkit. They can be used to address a wide range of topics and problems with both newly formed or long-standing work teams.
