A work party is a great way to
get together with your colleagues outside of work for some quality time - plus,
it's a great way to strengthen team bonds and reward employees for a job well
done.
Mingling
with colleagues outside of 'work time' can be an interesting way to get to know
their personality, and an AMF bowling alley is the perfect venue to do so.
Take a look
at these workplace stereotypes and see if you can identify them at your next
bowling work party:
The
'problem-solver'
This office
character is the one everyone turns to 
in a crisis or when they're lost for the
answer to an important client demand. They're bursting with ideas and will
always find a way to get you and your team out of a fix - and can generally
turn the situation into a positive!
Problem-solvers
are likely to bring their talents to a work party at the bowling alley. You'll
see them weighing out a heavier ball to get that momentum flowing down the
lane, or quietly adjusting their form if they experience a gutter ball.
The
'team leader'
Every
workplace has work mates who like to take charge. You can count on them to
take the lead on a fiddly new project and provide direction for colleagues -
and this is no different at the bowling alley. You're likely to find team
leaders filling out the scorecards, choosing team names, and organising who's
playing who - all with a no-nonsense approach.
The
'team player'
Team players
are great allrounders who love to see the whole group succeed. They're out
for achieving goals as an entity, rather than just themselves. At a bowling
work party, the team player is the one you'll find supporting their team mates
with bowling tips, advice, and plain old encouragement. They'll get pretty enthusiastic
when someone else from their team gets a strike - perhaps the perfect candidate
for league bowling!
The
'peace-keeper'
These
invaluable office members are fantastic at settling conflicts between more
fiery personalities. Should colleagues go head to head in a fierce 'first to
strike' battle, the peace keeper will be the one ready to make a lighthearted
joke if things begin to get too heated!
