A company will benefit from
using a good quality team-building day in a number of
ways. It is people getting to know each other, it is
people spending quality time with each other, people
getting a chance to learn about each other. It is people
using all their resources wisely. If you do not know
what resources people have, how can you use them wisely?
In a day to day situation you are so busy doing what
you do, perhaps fire-fighting or just barely keeping
the in-tray down to a manageable level, you don't have
time to learn about other people, you don't have time
to find out what skills they have, it may be that you
could do what you do normally, better; you could do your
job more effectively if you had certain input from other
people or maybe if you even swap roles within the team.
This is what team-building allows. time out to specifically
develop team skills, team-building with opportunities
to demonstrate and develop new skills. Going to the pub,
having a pizza together, playing pool, going bowling
this is team building but Team-building by chance. A
Team-building event with a specific purpose or outcome
is at the other end of the scale.
With a faciltated team building day, the participants
will learn how to be more effective, efficient and achieve
results while at the same time having lots of fun. The
Result: The Company will make instant benefits. If everyone
makes one change, or 1% change, then the cumulative figure
will hit the business with a bang !
"No sportsman has one lesson then knows it all.
He must practice, gain experience and look for feedback.
He will revisit, receive coaching, upgrade skills, service
old skills and make sure he is developing accordingly.
Others will be developing, so if you are not moving forwards
you will lose. There is no standing still in sport or
business".
When there are specific goals you wish to acheive, we
provide a facilitator who will link the experiences
of the day to your business.
- Typical Team Building subjects include;
- Outstanding Teamwork,
- Group-Profile, Appreciation,
- Stress,
- Communication skills,
- Leadership,
- Beneficial thoughts and behaviors,
- Motivation,
- Winning Ways.
- Planning and negotiation.
Many of these offer greater value when backed up by
the chance to test the new ideas out on practical activities
in a safe environment. Activities such as Minefield crossing,
Bridge Build, blindfold driving and NASA are excellent.
Team-Building as an investment, does it
pay off?
It's an investment that will pay off if
you see it through. If you invest in a structured programme
with considered goals and outcomes and you actually work
towards them, and let me say that it may not be the most
comfortable thing you've ever done; it may be that you
find out that you're not quite where you were on your
business map or your business plan or that maybe everybody
you have on board isn't quite right or isn't in the right
frame of mind or hasn't signed up one hundred percent
to it. If you've got a common goal, a clear objective
that people understand and sign up to, that's a massive
step forward to actually achieving the goals in business
as well as the people. A team-building event at a certain
level gives you a lot more than just a fun day out. It
really can make a significant business difference.
