Team Building

Team building is a management technique that involves a lot of skills, analysis and observation to turn a group of individually-contributing employees into a cohesive and strong team, and ultimately improve the efficiency and performance of the workgroups. Team building can include the daily interaction that employees engage in when working together to carry out the requirements of their jobs. It can also include specialized, structured activities and exercises led by team members.

Team building strategies can help employees work cohesively and play toward each individual member’s strengths. Here are a following of some of the most common and effective ones :

Personality-based team building — employees or team members take a personality test like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); managers or team leaders assign them specific creative tasks based on their personality traits, strengths & weaknesses
Activity-based team building — team members participate in a series of challenging tasks designed to take them out of their comfort zones; these tasks could be conducted both indoors & outdoors.

Skills-based team building — team members participate in workshops to develop important job skills (e.g. how to negotiate effectively & give helpful feedback).
Problem solving-based team building — team leader guides teams through a series of exercises that help them narrow in on issues and work to directly address / resolve them; often takes place in a retreat setting & involves an external consultant; helps teams relax and improve interpersonal bonding.

Team building is important in any organization because it :

Identifies strengths & weaknesses.
Directs people towards vision & mission.
Develops communication & collaboration.
Establishes roles & responsibilities.
