Some of my favorite management courses I have taken have to do with role playing.
While I don't have any links I want to relate a quick story (hopefully what you are looking for).
Two people are selected, one giving feedback...one receiving feedback...
Both are given info cards hidden from everyone, read them then the role playing starts.
The funny thing is that the cards are matched up but often have very different views.
ie: Manager has a card saying "you have a low performer on your team and even though you have tried helping him his performance is getting worst, he also has a body odor problem you need to address"
ie: Agent has a card saying "your manager doesn't respect you or understand your situation. Your wife recently left you and you are living out of your car"
Then you start the feedback session and see fireworks, you learn a lot and it's often quite comical. |
