Point out the common denominators in their answers so that their own experiences flesh out a composite picture of what it is like to offer people the support they need. Equally important is developing ways to tap into internal motivation by taking the appropriate leadership actions that stimulate the greatest job growth in each person. One way to develop that behavior is to analyze each business task and the staff who are performing it. Sometimes, a leader can delegate the work without supervision, but more often leaders need to coach, to facilitate or to direct so that the task is accomplished well and the worker learns eventually how to become more independent. Group exercises help participants experience these different levels of situational management.

A good leader not only develops his or her people as individuals but also knows how to get the best out of people when they work on teams. Being able to handle the subtle dynamics of a whole group of people is not equivalent to dealing with the sum of its parts. By breaking participants into small groups and giving them a simple problem to solve, you can teach them about the issues that arise for teams. For example, if they work in small, separate teams on a tower building project, they will see how working together in one team accomplishes a greater product. Some groups are results oriented.
