Today's team building question asks you "What is the team's Achilles heel?". If you know your Ancient Greek stories, you might remember that in the Trojan War, Achilles died from an arrow to his heel.
Wikipedia currently defines Achilles' heel as, " a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can actually or potentially lead to downfall. While the mythological origin refers to a physical vulnerability, idiomatic references to other attributes or qualities that can lead to downfall are common." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles%27_heel
As I like to frame it "What's the one thing that could lead to your downfall?"
Going hand in hand with this quesiton is also "what do you want to do about it? OR What can you do to mitigate against it.
Enjoy your conversation!
Best wishes,
