WHAT IS TEAM BUILDING?
Team building is a job design in which
employees are viewed as members of
interdependent teams instead of as individual
workers.

Work environments tend to focus on
individuals and personal goals, with reward
and recognition for the individual employees.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
TEAM BUILDING?
COMMON GOAL
A company is more productive when everyone works
together for a common goal
MOTIVATION
Team building creates an environment that motivates
people to achieve the goals and objectives of the
organization while subordinating individual goals
TRUST/AGREEMENT
Team building helps put everyone in a spirit of
agreement





IDEAS/PARTICIPATION
An organization can improve certain processes and
procedures when everyone cares about and is a part
of the outcome.
IMPROVED COMUNICATION
Team building activities that highlight communication
allow participants to experience for themselves the
importance of good communication and develop new
ways of accomplishing this.

TEAM BUILDING GOALS

Increased flexibility in skills and abilities
More productive than work groups with individual
mindset
More beneficial in times of organizational change
Encourage both individual and team development and
improvement
Focuses on group goals to accomplish more beneficial
tasks
Improved range of team building objectives such as
collaboration, communication and increased creative or
flexible thinking

TEAM DYNAMIC

THE TEAM MEMBER
These are people who are experienced, have problem
solving ability, are open to addressing the problem,
and are action oriented.
TEAM RELATIONSHIPS
For a team to be successful the members of the team
must be able to give and receive feedback.
TEAM PROBLEM SOLVING
A relaxed, comfortable and accepting environment
and finally, open and honest communication are
required.





TEAM LEADERSHIP
Effective team leadership depends on leadership
competencies.
ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Competitiveness should be discouraged and
uniformity should be encouraged - this will eliminate
conflict and discord among team members.

LEADERSHIP ABILITIES
A team leader is usually goal-oriented to keep the team on
track.
They must promote a safe environment where members can
openly discuss issues.
A leader must build confidence amongst members by building
and maintaining trust and offering the members
responsibilities.
A leader should be technically competent in matters relating
to team tasks and goals.
It is important for a team leader to set a manageable list of
priorities for the team to keep members focused.
Leaders should offer clear performance expectations by
recognizing and rewarding excellent performance, and
provide feedback to others.

RISK OF TEAM BUILDING
The major risk of team building is that a team member
may become cynical of the organization. This could
happen as a result of the organization holding team
building events outside of the normal context under
which the organization usually functions.
Team building events are followed with meaningful
workplace practice.
If the team members do not see an improvement within
an organization as a result of team building events,
members may view such events as a waste of time.
