Tower of Power is a great team building activity that will help your team understand the challenges and assets they possess as a team. Tower of Power also addresses working within a timeline as well as material limitations.

Utilizing recycled paper, cups, and other materials, each team is challenged to build the tallest 3 dimensional free-standing tower. Criteria for success will be given at the outset (ex: must be 5 feet tall, be able to balance an egg, withstand wind or another variable). Isn't the workplace all about variables?

Process is as important at the Final Tower and will be incorporated into the debriefing based on the team's goals and objectives, agenda and the actual activity in terms of how the work was completed, how the work was designed and managed and how the work was evaluated and monitored.
