A team is a group of people working towards a common goal. Team building is the process of enabling that group of people to reach their goal.
In its simplest terms, the stages involved in team building are:
- to clarify the team goals.
- to identify those issues which inhibit the team from reaching their goals.
- to address issues and enable the goals to be achieved.
- to enable the team to recognise what is expected of them.
- to encourage and motivate the team to achieve success.
At Top Banana we tailor our team building events to specifically meet your needs.
Some questions to consider:
- Are your team members pulling in the same direction?
- Do your team members know the strengths and weaknesses of themselves and other team members?
- Does your team know what is expected of them to ensure the team’s success?
- Are they relentlessly pursuing common goals?
- Are they working to make the other person’s job easier?
- Are they inward facing and missing the point?
- Are some members wasting time on internal fights and power struggles?
- Do the team trust one another?
Once the assessment has been completed, we plan the event in accordance with your specific needs and objectives.
