Work style begins with participants reflecting on their work style and noting their preferences on several topics. Then, they get to know their colleagues by networking in the room and finding out how others match their styles. The game aims to find as many matches as possible. When the team is full of energy, it's time to form groups with similar working styles. The groups discuss and identify characteristics of their preferred working style. Then they do a group activity. They then form groups with as many different working styles as possible, functioning similarly to the previous activity. A group moderator then leads a group discussion that explores why having multiple working styles in a team works and why it might not work if each person has limited views on different working ways.
