Dillon, sounds like you have a great game plan. Another suggestion is to get into some role play and have students take turns playing the role of a supervisor in a work related scenario and have other students play the role of an employee. You can even take this as far as to have scripts for the students. The true value of this activity comes when you discuss the activity as a capstone exercise and have the students discuss their feelings about the different roles of management and employees. Students feel less threatened whey they discuss a scenario outside of their own experiences even though they are really getting into issues about themselves and their feelings about authority or lack of ability to see themselves in leadership roles.

I have seen some great group activities that come from role play and really loosen up the conversations between students that might not normally agree or get along.
