3 Small group activity… You have been asked to start an employee wellness program for Ball State University. How would you design the organizational structure? – Who are the key stakeholders? – Based on: Level of professionalism Level of uncertainty in work Degree of standardization of work Degree of interaction between managers and others participants Degree of task integration required What would you consider the appropriate span of control? Tall Complex, Flat, or somewhere in between? – Thinking about the “team” concept, what type of a team do you see emerging for this program? Do you see different types of teams/clusters being utilized? – How would you design the organizational structure? – What informal groups do you see emerging?

5 Card Stack Team Building A card (or stack) may be moved any distance horizontally or vertically, but never diagonally It must always end its move on top of another card (or stack) that is the same rank or suit. It can never take an empty space Once a card is placed on top of another card, the resulting stack if moved as one unit driven by its top card.

6 Questions… How close were you to the goal of one stack? What affected the final results? How did you deal with everyone’s ideas about the way to proceed? How does this activity relate to teamwork? Did anyone emerge as the leader? How did he or she function? How did you handle disagreements? What implications could this have in a job situation?
