Team Building   Lead & Develop Your Team   Team Building  Team-building is a good way to motivate individuals. If you can get everyone in your business to feel part of a team, you'll get more out of team building. A team is any group of people working together in a common purpose. Teams build motivation in people because of a number of factors; There's a social team building aspect - it's more enjoyable working with others than in isolation. Teams stimulate innovation - interaction between team members throws up new ideas for solving problems. People will feel loyalty to the team, and not want to let others down. The competitive element in individual team members drives team building performance. A sense of belonging makes people feel they're valued and assists team building and team motivation. You need to able to facilitate team building & team working - to create the conditions in which people want to excel. This can involve: Setting out a vision - restating the business's purpose and aims, then asking what changes staff feel should be made to meet their own needs and customer needs. Uniting people - for instance, you might assign a challenging task to a team of employees and ask for a solution. Ask everyone to contribute and publicly recognise their efforts afterwards. Empowering people - allocating resources to the team to get the job done. Intervene when needed to teach skills and help the team solve problems. Provide specialist help, training and literature where needed. Encouraging debate - get the team to discuss how best to achieve the task. Ensure everyone feels able to voice an opinion, no matter what their role in the business. Reflecting afterwards - gather the team's opinion on how well all the above worked, and use this plan for future project work.
