Effective team building
Teams are complex machines and it's not surprising that they malfunction
occasionally or need re-alignment. Every once in a while all teams need an MOT,
so of course, you want to ensure that your team building event is as effective
as it can be.
The one thing that everyone recognises is that your team building activity
needs to be done away from the office environment. The idea is to slow things
right down; to get away from e-mails, phone calls, questions and demands, being
asked to pop into unscheduled meetings, people dropping by.
It means getting away from all the day-to-day stuff that sometimes makes it
hard to see what's going on and what's needed.
Here are a few hints and tips to make planning your team building event more
effective:
- Everyone needs to have some input into what the team building event should
accomplish
- Listen carefully to people's concerns and incorporate them in the team
building training
- No one should ever be put on the spot or humiliated
- People shouldn't be forced to do things they don't want to
- People learn better when they're having fun
- Focus on the positives of the team rather than just what isn't
