No matter the context a team is a team, whether they are new or existing teams, and all teams need different ways in which to pull together and move forward towards their goals and objectives. It doesn?t matter if your team is a picture of unity or riddled with conflict ? teams still need outlets for developing new ideas, insights into their relationships and a variety of options in ways in which they can come together. So why choose a team building event?
1. Engage your team ? Teams need to focus, they need to know what they?re aiming for and not just be told about it. By using a team building event to engage your team you are allowing them the space to grow as one unit and experientially learn together.
2. Learn what your team needs ? watching your team tackle a challenge together will give an understanding of the relationships within a group, how they work best, what needs work and what drives them to actually be a team.
3. Shared Goals ? there may be a goal you wish to achieve with your team, but do they really see it as their goal. A team building event can help teams take a step back and understand how their efforts are feeding into larger objectives.
4. Your team vision ? looking at your teams work processes and what they need to achieve means that there should be a vision you hold for the group. A team building event is fantastic for sharing that vision with your team (or even allowing them to create one for themselves).
5. Have Fun! ? All teams need to have high morale; a happy team usually means a productive team. Giving your team a chance to work together outside the office environment will help them to not only engage with your vision and your shared goals but also to engage with each other.
To be honest, a team building event will not end or solve all your problems ? but it is a starting point for teams to progress. When done well, a team building event holds the key to a successful team future, one where progression and unity are top.
When training for a marathon, you can?t just train for one day and then do it ? it takes time, patience, dedication (and obviously more than one training session) ? same goes for teams.
You can?t just expect one event or one session to produce what you want ? but a team building event is certainly a good first step!
