Hammeroid

Overview: Hammeroid is an excellent activity for an opener. We use this activity most often in our workshops on conflict resolution. Each hammeroid element (hammer, string, ruler, table) is described as a personality type, each corresponding to a work style preference from the D.i.S.C. assessment. Participants are tasked with bringing a team in conflict into harmony. The conflict is resolved when the the hammer, string and ruler are perfectly balanced. The catch is, only 1/4 inch of the ruler may touch the table and the hammer may not be on top of any of the other three "styles".

Business Application: The D.i.S.C. work-style preference measures four basic personality types: D (dominant), I (influencer), S (steadiness) and C (conscientiousness). Participants enjoy learning about their style and how they can work with other team members more effectively. The hammeroid is a real challenge and requires perseverance, innovating thinking and teamwork. Lively discussion always follows this activity.
