I tend to suspect that some of my co-workers have come to unfortunate conclusions about *me* during team building exercises. But I'm very upfront about my issues. "This exercise is designed to have a specific 'win condition'. I've played this one before. If you put me in charge, we have our best chance of working together as a team to win. If you're more interested in the discussion process, go ahead, but I'm not likely to be very invested."

I've also annoyed the facilitators on occasion by responding to the question of "what have we learned from this exercise" with answers like, "Don't bother to take ownership of your process because the bosses will just change the rules of the game on the next go-round and all the process improvements you implemented will become obsolete." or "The process is designed to undermine your self-confidence and demonstrate that success is impossible. The lesson is not to get too invested in success."
