What Team Building is Supposed to be About

By Carla Rossouw


There will never be a team without the basic cooperation that it needs. This characteristic will not easily be developed but with activities such as team building, it can be hastened.

An efficient team building would be consists of the following:

Constant Communication

This is very essential even if a person sounds too repetitive, at times. A simple SMS will always touch the hearts of each and every member of the team. Some rules, announcements or any other message may also be relayed well if the communication department of the team is all right. This keeps the bond together. Never forget to keep in touch even if separated by time or distance. In fact, this should strengthen a team even more because of the excitement felt with the idea of getting back in to the company of one another. This is the most irreplaceable feeling.

Staff Improvement

Teams will have different groups of different members. Each member should develop their specialty no matter what the circumstances are. Criticisms should come along the way to come up with best results. Delivering criticisms, on the one hand, should be objective and constructive. There should be a clear weakness and strength of the problem. Also, there must be resolution for situations to be better. A member should take it as objective and as constructive as possible, too. There should be no or minimal personal bias when giving out comments for one another. However, the idea of alienation should not take place in the training proper. There should always be a culminating activity after members of the team were separated.

Trust and Work Relationships Development

Trust means that you are at ease working with a person. This means that you can build better results for the team because of combined ideas. A team should never be torn apart even if different ideologies are in a member. The entire team should be focused on one goal that must be inculcated on each of the members from the very start. It will be hard working with a person you do not even want to see during training or just a normal day. Never let the situations become worse. Talk immediately about the problem and suggest some solutions that will benefit both of the parties. It may be hard but it will really pay off if the creases and dents get straightened.

You will never go awry with this type of team building. It will not occur right at the moment you implement it. It will require time however it is never difficult to come up with a great team with the heart and the perseverance to complete the objectives which were established. As a leader, coach, head, president or any other director, you have the job to provide programs to member to make certain that they are still on the right course and that no one is battling over a specific matter. You have the obligation over them particularly during the toughest times. Be the hardest and the most self-disciplined.
