The best teams are teams that feel connected to each other. When you care about who you work with, their success — and your team's success — becomes as important as your own.

One of the easiest ways to get to know someone better is to simply ask them questions. To keep things interesting, we highly recommend asking "would you rather" questions. They can be fun or serious, but the goal for every would you rather question is to increase your team's bond. Here are some of the best "would you rather" questions for work — some are silly and some are serious. They're all sure to get some good conversations going.

  1. Would you rather work remotely, at an office, or hybrid?
