There are a lot of newer games and tradions that most may not have done just ten years ago, but cant seem to stop doing today. One hobby that seems to be very popular is paint ball. This is something that has been around for a while, but has risen in populary very rapidly in the last decade. This is something that many do for fun, but is also something many corporations use as a team building exercise, and with good reason. It is fun, easy, and is also very telling.
Those that do paint ball for fun love the thrill of the hunt, but they mostly dont want to shoot a living thing. You do shoot each other in this sport, but the most damage that usually occurs is a slight sting at times, and a splotch of paint. Thats . There should be no injuries and everyone will definely make out alive. This allows friends and even families to spend time together. Not everyone thinks this is a family activy, but perhaps is when children have grown to adulthood.
When paint ball is used by corporations as a team building exercise, everyone wins. Those who work together often have issues with each other that causes both communication and emotional types of problems. These can have a bad effect on productivy, and that means they are not working up to their full potential. When they play paint ball together, they have to work as a team, but is all in fun. When they do this, they learn each others strengths, and they tend to have a new respect for each other. This will spill over into the work place que often, and works out well for everyone.
From a management point of view, this can help them understand some of the strengths and weaknesses of those who work for them. No one is perfect, and everyone has things they do well, and areas where they may fall behind. Management can do paint ball with employees and they can see who the natural leaders are, as well as picking out many of the other various tras they should know about those who work for them. This can help them choose the best people for different projects and even those who might be the best candidates for promotions. They may even learn something about themselves in the process.
