Corporate Team Building is Like a Puzzle
What does the word TEAM mean to you?
While there have been countless books and articles written about the importance of team building, the million dollar question that still remains is: What make up a great team and why is this so important to corporate management?
What do Highly Functional Teams Look Like?
When individuals with similar interests come together to work toward a common objective, a team is formed. In a highly-functional workplace environment, team members strive to work hard to live up to the expectations of each other and successfully accomplish the assigned task.
Every individual must feel motivated to perform at his or her best. They accept challenges with resilience and spirit. They want their team members to succeed.
But What if Your Team is not working properly?
Sometimes team members are unmotivated to work together and take the attitude of “every man for himself”. They dislike their teammates or their leader. They don’t work to the best of their ability.
If this is the case, team leaders should look outside their organization for help. Fun Team Building activities away from the office can often times help the team gel. These activities are meant to remind the team that each individual brings a special talent to the group and wants to be appreciated for their contribution.
Once the group attends a team building day, they can integrate corporate team building activities into their daily and weekly routine. Examples of this might be:
- Fun and interesting meeting openers
- Interactive and engaging presentations
- Attending conferences as a team and
- Providing brown bag lunch seminars on the importance of working as a team.
