Pack Types

Have you ever tried playing pack types? They are promoted as self awareness cards which are loosely based on Belbin's team roles. I had the opportunity to test them out last weekend at a residential training event and the feedback was positive and generally felt the cards were accurate. Check out http://www.packtypes.com/ to see a short video on how to play. They fitted beautifully into the theme of "Being our Best" as I was training on the softer skills around succession planning - motivation & participation through decision making. Lots of opportunities to promote GG UK resources but pack types was really good in helping the Leaders think about their personal contribution.

Reasonably priced at around £25 a pack and of robust quality - I will certainly use again in training, and have already loaned them out at work. Watch the courier used by the seller as they insist on a signature on delivery which is hard when you are out all day. Is it the sort of resource County's will buy for Trainers to keep as a county resource?
