How-Now-Wow Test: The How-Now-Wow Matrix is a tool used for
prioritizing tasks or ideas based on their feasibility and potential impact. It categorizes items into
three zones: "How" for items that are easy to implement but might have a lower impact, "Now"
for things that are both feasible and impactful, and "Wow" for high-impact but potentially
challenging ideas. It's a way to assess and prioritize tasks or projects.
20/20 Test: 20/20 vision test typically involves reading letters or symbols from a
standardized eye chart at a specific distance, usually 20 feet. If you're using an eye chart, cover
one eye and read the smallest line of characters you can see. Repeat with the other eye. If you
can read the 20/20 line, it indicates normal vision. However, this is a basic screening, and a
comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist is recommended for a thorough
assessment of your eye health.
100 Dollars Test: In this method of prioritization, participants assign

relative value to a list of items by spending an imaginary $100 together. By using the
concept of cash, the exercise captures more attention and keeps participants more engaged
than an arbitrary point or ranking system.

EXERCISE FOR MANAGEMENT
DEVELOPMENT: ICEBREAKER QUESTIONS
Icebreaker activities can allow people to relax at the start of a training
session, but they can also be a leadership activity on their own. Good
icebreaker questions let your management team think creatively and build
listening and communication skills. Plus, they can use these questions to kick
off their own team meetings in the future. Here are five questions to try:
• If you were in the Olympics, what sport would you compete in?
• If you could see one movie again for the first time, what would it be and why did you pick it?
• If you could only reread one book during your lifetime, what would it be or why?
• What advice would you give your 12-year-old self if you could talk to them?
• What would you do if you weren’t allowed to use your smartphone for one week?

Practicing a flying balloons exercise can enhance adaptability by simulating unpredictable situations. Maneuvering
balloons in the air requires quick adjustments, fostering mental agility and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
It promotes flexibility, problem-solving, and the capacity to navigate unforeseen challenges – skills valuable in various
aspects of life.

Why decision-making is important for problem-solving: Making decisions isn’t easy, but indecision leads to team
paralysis, stagnant thinking, and unsolved problems. Decision-making activities help your team practice making quick,
effective choices. Train your team’s decision-making muscles and they will become more adept at problem-solving.

Threats. This exercise can be applied to various levels, from an individual project to an entire organization. The process

• Employee recognition programs:
1. Years of service award
2. Customer service award
