For a truly whole brain approach to working with teams, read this article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, a problem-solving and communications methodology.

I’ve been using LEGO SERIOUS PLAY with teams for the last few years, with wonderful results. Robert Rasmussen, my partner in this work, led the development of this work during his 15-year tenure at the LEGO Company and now is an independent consultant. You can listen to an interview with Robert on my podcast, Leading With A Whole New Mind, where he discusses both the scientific underpinnings of why it works so well and the right-brain competencies that it taps into–Story, Play, and Meaning.
