Activity: Role Play Instructor Notes: Separate the class into six groups of 3-4 members. In cases of very small class sizes (i.e., 18 or less), ensure there are at least six groups of at least two pairs of participants, where one person plays the role of the leader and the other member(s) play the role of team members. For groups of three or more members, ask for a volunteer from each group to play the role of a leader, while the rest of the group members play the roles of team members. Ask for a volunteer from each group to play the role of the leader for this exercise. The rest of the group members will be team members. Once leaders have been assigned in each group, give the assigned leader one of the Leadership Style cards to act out. Instruct the leader not to allow their group members to see the leadership style they have been given. Remind them that they must behave according to the leader type they receive throughout the duration of the role play exercise. Answer any questions they may have, and then begin the role play exercise. Scenario Your organization has just received the results from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.

They requested action plans from each department by the end of next month. Task The group must develop two to three actions to improve engagement in the department on the scenario described above. The leader must stay in character the entire time, and document their plan in the Action Plan table on the second page of their activity form. Role Play Action Plan
