Traffic Jam Activity: Group members stand in two lines on opposite sides with an empty spot in the middle Group A must go over to group B’s side in the same order and group B must do the same. Following the rules below: Only one person can move at a time. Participants can only move toward their new spot, never backward. Participants can only move to a vacant spot next to them, or jump one person from the opposite side into a vacant spot next to them. If no more moves are possible or a rule is broken, the leader honks the horn and the group’s starts over from their original spots. Once the team has solved the problem, have them set a time goal for completing it. Next see if they can complete the moves while no one speaks.

Conclusion: Process the activity focusing on the application of the Covey Quadrants: Did group members notice win-win, win-lose, lose-win, or lose-lose thinking at work? What quadrant did people feel like they were during the activity? Did they feel like they were in multiple quadrants as the activity progressed? Did win-lose thinking arise? Did individuals feel frustrated at not being able to move themselves and fail to focus on the progress of the group? Did lose-win thinking arise? Did individuals completely abandon their own role and focus entirely on the group? Did a case of “too many leaders, not enough followers” emerge? How does this relate to the Covey quadrant? How did the delegates ultimately complete the activity? What was the difference in group process from the beginning to the conclusion of the activity?
