Target Group
The Minder Matters game is designed for professionals with a training need in mastering the art of influencing. Without influence, leadership does not appear. It is therefore important for any leader to develop these skills. The “Mind Matters” Game is designed to train people in influencing in a way that is both engaging and effective.
Awareness
There is no single recipe for influencing.Tactics
Different tactics – varying from hard to soft tactics – can be used to influence peopleAdapt
Effective influencers adapt their influence tactics to the characteristics, motivations and concerns of the people involvedHow does it work?
In this game trainees play a researcher in a fictional company. The trainee’s task is to try out a new innovative mind steering device on a test group of employees working on capturing an important bid. Using this device trainees can temporarily ‘take over’ game characters and read and influence their minds. By doing so, trainees can safely try out different influence tactics on people and experience the effects of their choices on team spirit and customer relationship.
Duration
The game typically takes around 45 minutes to play and around 15 minutes longer if played in pairs.
Output
After playing the game a downloadable feedback report is automatically generated on:
• Understanding: How much effort did the trainee put in understanding people’s characteristics, motivations and concerns?
• Tactics: Which influence tactics did the trainee use? Did the trainee limit him-/herself to a small or broad set of influence tactics?
• Effectiveness: What were the consequences of the trainee’s influencing attempts on different Key Performance Indicators?
