Play aim

How often do you say ‘yes, I’ll take this one’, while you’re already fully occupied? How often do you attend a meeting, while you might had other, even more important, things to do?

In which circumstances we have to say yes? And what circumstances can wait? During the game, players discover their focus points and try to stick as much to their (full) agenda.

Learning aim

Time-management goeroes worldwide have at least one big advice in common: don’t plan your whole agenda. There are always unforeseen circumstances that occur.

In this game, your agenda is already fully planned. But you’ll see that, even if you plan ‘time for yourself’, it is still easy to adjust. This leadership game shows the underlying reasons of saying yes, while you might wanted to say no.

Behavioral aim

Deciding to stick to your agenda is one thing, but doing it is something else. You’ll have to say no. The play aim is about owning your agenda. You’ll have to adjust your plans in your agenda as little as possible. Therefore you have to say no.

During this game players learn to say no in a professional manner. Peer learning is key in this process: the players decide what type of no they would accept or not.

“Practicing saying no was very helpfull for me. Especially because of the peer learning aspect.”

“No is an answer as well. Especially if you say it in a professional manner. I’m more confident know to say no.”

“What’s the result of saying yes the whole day? You’ll get things done, but most of the time not the things that you wanted yourself. An eye-opener.”

“It make me think about what is my agenda actual and does it fit with my tasks. Important / not important.”
