TEAM BUILDING

Team Building is a very important part of many businesses. Businesses need employees to survive and they should all work as a team inorder for the team to progress and move forward. It is important that you understand exactly what makes a good team and also how to ensure your team building is effective. The most important thing to take into consideration when looking at corporate team building and working in teams is that you all have the same goals and ojectives. You must all pull together and give 100% in the same direction. Many of the best team building excercises focus on this point and try and concentrate minds on this area. You must also get members in the group to concentrate on the membership and commitment to that team after all commitment is also a huge part of the team building process. You need to commit to those in the team to move forward and to have accountability to each other. A good example of this sort of team is a football team. A football team is not just one star but the best teams are 11 all pulling together, all relying on one and other to achieve the same goal, to win. When looking at teams there are a different stages that they go through when forming the actual group itself. The first stage is called forming, this is where the group or team get themselves organised, they find their feet. This is an important part in the team building process. The next stage is called storming, this part of team building is where the group may start to argue and problems may surface. Many of the stronger personalties in the group start to show in this area. After the storming it is norming, the norming process is where the members of the group openly talk about issues and problems that may arise, after this they try and iron out these issues. Finally the last part is performing, performing is when bring all the other elements together, all the team work together, support each other and maintain high levels of performance. Once you have your team all pulling in the correct direction you can measure effectiveness of that team by looking at a number of different areas. These are goals; what does your team actually want to achieve ? Roles, each member of the team needs to realise how they contribute to the overall aim. Procedures this is how the group actually work together do they work, relationships is the next section, as with life it is important that you get along with others. The other part of this is how does the leader pull all the team together.

Team building is all about enhancing the group and making the team more effective, this is done by focusing in on the strengths in the group and trying to elimitate weaknesses. If it is done correctly you should end up with a more supportive team that understands each othe, that performs regularly to the highest standards and has a mutual respect for one and other.
