TRUST
The Glue of Leadership
Overview of Activity
Using a blindfold, one participant allows another to walk about, while us-
ing only non-verbal clues. The debriefing takes each of the partners in the
exercise through communication, trust, and other issues that leaders face.
Objectives
To develop trust among program participants (this will make their
experiences mutually rewarding).
To help participants experience the meaning of “leader” versus
“follower.”
To learn the value of nonverbal communication.
