PROFESSIONAL GREATNESS
Team Building
Strong teams and positive relations among staff are key indicators of effective, proactive communities. Leverage team building to break down silos and promote cross-functional collaborations to improve communication, build trust, and harness the collective wisdom of the group all while having fun!
Team building activities are facilitated on site or offsite as part of a staff retreat. They are conducted indoors, outdoors, or a combination of both. Foster positive relationships among and between staff members. Activities range from simple icebreakers to learn basic information such as birthdays and hobbies to more structured, time-based activities that require self-awareness, meta-cognition, and problem solving.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Teams creating norms to guide group interactions and relations within team
- Working together to understand team assignments and to organize team to achieve tasks within time allotted
- Actively communicating to engage all members and problem solve
- Considering group norms, needs, and goals when decision making
- Holding group accountable for enforcing group norms (e.g., reminding members of norms, reflecting on impact of norms on group performance) and completing tasks
- Debriefing insights gained about self and team and planning for how to leverage going forward
