Время 15 минут

Материалы

• Люди и свободное место
• Блокноты и ручки для участников

Правила

1. Ведущий шепчет на ухо одному из участников короткую фразу, например, “компания испытывает финансовые затруднения, и некоторых из нас уволят”. Ведущий записывает, что он сказал.
2. Участники шепчут фразу на ухо друг другу, и каждый записывает, что он сказал.
3. Повторяйте шаг 2, пока все не поучаствуют.
4. Затем ведущий просит каждого участника прочитать вслух фразу, которую тот записал.

Выводы

• Смысл фразы быстро искажается, часто становится смешным. Предложите участникам обсудить причины появления искажений при передаче информации. Обсудите практики, которые способствуют эффективному общению.
