Thank You Notes:
“I had received my last Thank you
one week back to provide a platform to people to showcase their talents at a
large gathering. It made my day brighter as I was recognized for my effort.”
Thank You note is a recognition
game to make your life meaningful and beautiful.
Prerequisite: Team members should
know each other.
Material Required: Pen, Sticky
Notes, Whiteboard, Marker
Let’s Begin: As you assemble team members in a room, make
the setting friendly and casual. May be a small ice breaker game could be
useful at this point.
We can start by asking members the
qualities of an effective team/team member—Some answers you may get include
effective communication skills, ability to adapt, accepting challenging roles,
listening skills, positive attitude and so on. Note all these points on a white
board and ask the team members to muse through the final brain stormed list.
Now pass on sticky notes( 5-7, depending on size of crowd) and relate the
qualities written on board to their team members/small teams
Final Task: Ask all to walk around
the room sticking the notes at the back of a person, giving him a pat and
thanking him for his effort.
In one of our trainings the back
of the shirt was filled with notes and members started sticking on the pants
and sleeves leaving the person to stand as a recognized paper man! To make it discernible
to all, the notes can be stuck to a chart paper/wall in training room.
Happy Recognizing!!
