The Flying Egg exercise, conducted by the Shanghai Executive Training Group at Warwick University, challenges teams to create a device to make an egg fly from a first-floor window and land without cracking. Teams have just 15 minutes to plan and construct their flying mechanism. This fun activity fosters essential skills, such as teamwork, leadership, delegation, planning, decision-making, time management, and creativity. After the task, the review process highlights effective practices and areas for improvement, promoting continuous learning and enhancement for future endeavors.

THE FLYING EGGS! The Shanghai Executive Training Group at Warwick University undertook one of the many management training exercises available, called the Flying Egg! Each team were given materials which they may use to make the egg fly from a first floor window and land on the ground without cracking it. They were given 15 minutes to plan and build the mechanism! TEAM B TEAM A This is a great exercise and good fun! It is a good learning process for effective team working, leadership, delegation, planning, decision making, time keeping and creativity The key importance of the exercise is to spend time planning and discussing collectively how to make the egg fly, not just the “doing” it. Taking time out afterwards to review what went well with the exercise and what could have been done better is also a critical part of the learning process for continuous improvement purposes. All these skills are necessary for effective everyday working.
