TRASH: Goal-setting Simulation

Cómo ejecutarlo

1. 1

   Begin with Round 1: No Goals and ensure a wastebasket is nearby without drawing attention to it.

2. 2

   Crumple a piece of paper and give it to one participant, designated Helper 1. Avoid eye contact.

3. 3

   Explain the TRASH activity and its focus on setting mutual goals. Stop abruptly, check your watch, then inform Helper 1 they failed to throw the paper away.

4. 4

   Convey frustration by asking if they need constant direction and encourage participants to reflect on the scenario.

5. 5

   Conduct a brief debriefing: ask Helper 1 about their feelings, and gather reactions from the group regarding similar experiences.

6. 6

   Highlight the negative impact of a no-goal situation on productivity by prompting participants with examples from their work.

Consejos

• Ensure that participants feel safe sharing their feelings during debriefing.

• Be mindful of your tone and body language to avoid making Helper 1 feel unnecessarily attacked.

• Encourage open dialogue about the impact of unclear expectations in goal-setting.

Variaciones

You can adjust the simulation by using different types of goal statements for subsequent rounds, allowing for deeper exploration of goal-setting effectiveness.
