Ways of improving Team building process

By Adam Smith


A team is made up of different individuals from different background. It means that it is not always happened that a team is just made up of individuals from the same department now days mostly teams are made up of the individual from different departments of the organization such as from finance, marketing, sales etc.

So it is also possible that there may be some conflict among the team members because they all do not think the same way. So when it comes to team building first thing that you want to do is that you must develop a sense of togetherness and working for the same cause in team members. This will help you a lot afterwards when the real work starts. Mostly the team works for the achievement of common goal that is assigned as a part of overall organization goal. The outcome of the assigned goal is usually measured by performance indicators such as sales growth, increase in revenue, customer satisfaction etc. Teamwork depends upon the behavior of the team members, when their behavior towards the goal changes it will improve the performance automatically.

When you are in the process of team building it do not always require that the team members must be friend with each other, but the important thing is their behavior towards the goal. There are lots of examples where you can see that the team member's behaviors are the only reason in achieving certain goals.

You can improve the performance of team by performing a simple performance analysis. First of all you must identify the required team behavior for achieving the assigned goal. Then in the second step you should find out the current behavior that is applied by the team for achieving goals.

And the last step is to perform the gap analysis in which you must try to bring the current work behavior as close as possible to the targeted behavior that you identify in the first step.So by going through the above mentioned process you can reconcile your team building and this will help you in bringing the required results.
