I work in a media house where there is a huge amount of stiffness and ego among department heads. Please help me with some good activities that can help in reducing this gap and can promote cohesiveness and teamwork.

Very easy it is to break the so-called ego and feeling of greatness in such top bosses. Make a workshop on Creativity and Innovation with the help of a senior trainer who is experienced in handling such senior executives. Arrange a titled program where the top people will not feel that someone is trying to teach them. The trainer will engage them in game-playing, and the participants will realize how weak they are in knowledge, application, and know very little on many subjects.
Arrange a program for them to learn how they can benefit from applying Emotional Intelligence in work and life to be happier and more successful.
I am sure they will change their outlook.

Hi ShivPriya,
As a trainer, what quickly comes to mind is an exceptional game: 'All for one,' which will surely change the outlook of participants. It's a simple 2-hour activity that essentially requires a heterogeneous group to participate. The outcome of the activity and its debriefing by the trainer will bring out eye-opening realizations for all present in the room.
You may contact me at xxxxxxxxxx to know further details.

Ego is not a sin to have. In fact, egoistic people perform much better when they work on team synergy. Focus on the strengths of the people rather than their weaknesses. It is usually a futile exercise to work on weaknesses of Heads of Departments (HODs). Ask people to identify their colleagues' strengths; a good trainer can facilitate this exercise.
