25th July 2011 - One of the most significant aspects of an efficient and successful company is to have a team which has bonded well, can work together effectively and provide good results. To make this happen, effective Team Building is required as not concentrating on increasing the solidarity of a team can doom a business for sure. It is said that any company is going to be as good as the people are behind it and these exercises or game ensure that it happens effectively. There are a range of activities that come as a part of building games and exercises but it is important to know what should be done and when.
The first thing to remember is to always set clear objectives. This is true for the game setters and the players – they should know what they are aiming for. Moreover, setting measurable objectives allow the team to check if they are indeed meeting the objectives or not. This knowledge would empower them to take decisions regarding when to step up and when to take a breather.
The next thing to ensure is that the tasks are designed in a way that they can understand their roles easily. Moreover, if need be, there should be enough room and freedom in the task to allow them multitask. This would increase their skills, efficiency and also ensure that they are able to identify the best in them as well as their other team members. Moreover, even if the freedom isn't provided then the task should allow them to learn about their individual roles that contribute together to form the result.
The last thing which should be remembered in Team Building activities is to set up the task in such a manner that it facilitates communication. This is perhaps the most essential component that has to be built up via the exercises and games. The team members should be able to effectively tell other members about his or her role and they should be able to understand that easily. This aspect, if gained effectively, can prove very successful for the team and then the company in the long run.
