Command Tasks:
Command Tasks are well used by the Armed Forces to instill teamwork and to help identify the individual's ability to lead. Here at Weardale Outdoor we have a varied choice of tasks to cover all group sizes and ages. In summary, the team is confronted with a logistical problem, and they need to find a way to solve it. There is a time limit, and there are penalties for losing any team members during the game. The Command Tasks are a great way of identifying natural Leadership skills, the ability to work under pressure and the ability to think laterally. It can be used for current employees, or as a way of recruiting only the best. Clients can pick and choose from a variety of these team building exercises to create a tailor-made day that you will benefit from.
All tasks will be chosen appropriately to your group age and ability.
