TEAM BUILDING

People in every workplace talk about building the team,


working as a team, and my team, but few understand how to
create the experience of team work or how to develop an
effective team. Belonging to a team is a result of feeling part
of something larger than yourself.

In a team-oriented environment, you contribute to the overall


success of the organization. You work with fellow members
of the organization to produce these results. Even though
you have a specific job function and you belong to a specific
department, you are unified with other organization members
to accomplish the overall objectives.
TEAM BUILDING

How to create effective teams, team work, and team building


is a challenge in every organization. Work environments tend
to foster rugged individuals working on personal goals for
personal gain. Typically, reward, recognition, and pay
systems single out the achievements of individual employees.

Appraisal, performance management, and goal setting systems


most frequently focus on individual goals and progress,
not on team building. Promotions and additional authority are
also bestowed on individuals. Given these factors, is it any
wonder that teams and team work are an uphill battle in most
organizations?
