| − | ===Materials===
| |
| − | Create or obtain an object that will serve as a non-traditional trophy. Choose something with humor. It should be three-dimensional, not fragile, and small enough to fit on a desktop. Examples: a bowling trophy (as long as bowling is ''not'' part of the team's regular activities); a superhero toy; a model car; a vase of ugly artificial flowers; a mirror on a stand; an artistic sculpture; a (hardy) potted plant . . .
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Set Up===
| |
| − | Organize a system in which people nominate others for recognition for value to the team, e.g., a simple on-line or paper form; a suggestion box.
| |
| − | Recognitions can be for any of a variety of contributions, large or small; specific or general; long-term or one-time. Examples are for exemplary teamwork; success in a specific project; overall good spirits; last-minute help; bringing refreshments to an event; telling a good joke . . .

| |
| − | ===Directions===
| |
| − | Decide on a time-period (e.g., weekly or monthly). The organizing individual or committee reviews the nominations and picks one awardee. That person wins the trophy for that period of time; then it is passed to the next awardee.
| |
| − | No one should be a repeat awardee until all members of the team have had a turn to be recognized.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Debrief===
| |
| − | With sincere appreciations as well as humor, the team can make a big deal of congratulating the awardee, admiring the trophy, and talking about its symbolism.
| |
| − | Discussions can include how it feels to be both recognized and to appreciate others.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Alternatives===
| |
| − | Nominations can be self-generated, so each person toots their own horn about their contributions.
| |
| − | Each awardee can add something to the trophy- e.g., put a tiny hat/cape/flower on it; color part of it; write on it.
| |
| − | Photograph each awardee posing with the trophy, and post a cumulative display.
| |
| − | The awards can be given at a short (humorous) ceremony during a team gathering/meeting. Awardees could be asked to make a short speech.
