While many people think about team building as a process that involves campfires, group hugs, and the singing of Kumbaya; it’s really about making teams stronger. It’s no different than the problem solving process which involves identifying the problem, defining potential solutions, working out the plan, implementing, and monitoring to make sure things are on track.
We can work with one small team, an organization full of teams, or even inter-company teams. If inadequate results, inefficient processes, infighting, excessive costs, poor morale, customer and employee turnover, excessive errors, waste, sluggish decision-making, or lots of grumbling are hurting your organization; it might be time for some team building.
