3.4 Maybank ER Project – Leadership Station: Blind Square (Station 4)
3.4.1 Objective
- Discover the role that each participant will take
3.4.2 Activity Description
- Playable from 10 to an ideal maximum of 30 players
- Each person is blind folded with a sleeping mask
- A 20 meters rope placed within reach of each person
- Goal is to form the rope into a perfect square on the floor within 15 minutes
- The participantscan constantlycheckwiththe facilitatorof the activityif theyhave achieved
a perfect square on the floor
- Requires communication skill, problem solving skill, people management and leadership
skills
- If the group has difficulty completing the task, they would be allowed to place down the
rope and temporarily remove their blindfold to observe their current progress; this would
allow them to access their strategy and they may want to change solution ideas
3.4.3 Insights
- Maybank wants a capable leadership that can think under pressure, has good problem
solving skills, good communication skills, a good listener and an effective leader
- This activity will be able to reveal certain traits and characteristic of a person as they are
placed in a situation that forces them to act outside of their comfort zone
- This will show what role each person will take and how effective will it yield results
- This activity acts as a filter for employers to determine potential employees that portray
certain personality and skills that they are looking for and at the same time weed out the
less desired participants
