8 valuable tips for mini team building for managers:

  1. Hold regular reflection sessions
    What to do: Spend 15–30 minutes each week reflecting briefly as a team: What went well this week? What could be improved? Who needs support?
    How it works: Promotes open communication and strengthens the sense of togetherness. There is room for recognition.
  2. Make personal strengths visible
    What to do: Team members name their own strengths or reflect each other’s strengths – e.g. with cards (important: only strengths, not weaknesses
    How it works: Boosts self-confidence and makes individual contributions to the team transparent.
  3. Establish rituals in everyday life
    What to do: Weekly morning meetings or end-of-week meetings, start the day on a positive note with a ritual – also possible digitally.
    How it works: Rituals create structure, provide security and foster a sense of community.
  4. Mini-workshops with different speakers
    What to do: Every week, someone from the team or a guest speaker from another team shares their knowledge or experience on a topic for 10–15 minutes.
    How it works: Makes skills visible and breaks down silos.
  5. Walk & Talk meetings
    What to do: Hold one-on-one or small group discussions while walking – outside or inside the building.
    How it works: Movement stimulates thinking and reduces stress – new ideas emerge
  6. Playful feedback
    What to do: e.g. using the “Keep – Stop – Start” method: What should be kept, stopped or started?
    How it works: Makes feedback low-threshold and solution-oriented.
  7. Promote a culture of learning by celebrating mistakes from time to time.
    What to do: Share a “mistake of the month” regularly, e.g. monthly – with a learning effect and, if necessary, a symbolic award.
    How it works: Removes the taboo surrounding mistakes and motivates innovation.
  8. Planned coffee breaks & buddy system
    What to do: Bring random team members together for 15 minutes each week – e.g. for a coffee chat – either virtually or at the coffee machine.
    How it works: Builds relationships and promotes exchange
