A group of employees was working in a software company. It was a team of thirty employees. They were young, energetic and dynamic team with keen enthuasiasm and a desire to learn and grow. The management decided to teach the employees how to find real solutions to problems. The team was called to play a game in banquet hall. The group was quite surprised that they were called to play a game. Everyone reached the venue with various thoughts on their minds. As they entered the hall, they found the hall decorated beautifully with colourful decorated papers and balloons all over the place. It was more like a children’s party area than a corporate meeting hall. Everyone was surprised and gazed at each other. Also there was a huge box of balloons placed at the centre of the hall. The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and blow it up. Everyone picked up the balloon and blew it up. Then the team asked them to write names on their balloons carefully so that the balloons didn’t burst. Everyone tried to write their names on their balloons, but not everyone was successful. A few balloons burst due to pressure and the people whose balloons were burst, were given another chance to pick a balloon. Those who failed to write their names even after the second chance were asked to leave the game. After the second chance, Twenty five employees qualified for the next level. All the balloons were collected and then put into a room. The team leader asked the employees to go to the room and pick the same balloons that had his/her name on it. Also he told them that no balloon should burst and warned them to be very careful. All the employees reached the room, where the balloons carrying their names were thrown here and there. They were searching for their respective balloons. While they were in a rush to find the respective balloons, they tried not to burst the balloons. Fifteen minutes passed away and no one was able to find the balloons carrying their own name. The team was told that the second level of the game-was over. Now was the time for third and final level. The employees were asked to pick any balloon in the room and give it to the person named on the balloon. Within a couple of minutes all balloons reached the hands of the respective employees and everyone reached the hall. The team leader then said. “This is called the new solution to a problem. Everyone is frantically haunting for solutions to problem without understanding the ideal way. Many times sharing and helping others gives you real solutions to all problems”.
