Team Building Events in Delaware.
Each year organizations invest hundreds of thousands
of dollars in team building. Where some claim
transformation others report little change and poor
results. It’s unsurprising then that many employees
react with cynicism when their trusty leader
announces it’s time for the team to build and bond.
What exactly is team building?
The term team building is used to describe so many
different activities it can include almost anything
from the long-term process of structured team
development, to pounding the boss with paintballs or
even an extended lunch at the pub. No wonder results
vary.
Effective team building however, involves a
deliberate and planned intervention that improves
the team’s performance by strengthening its
relationships and systems. By keeping this in mind
and by addressing each of the points below, leaders
can avoid the pitfalls to increase the success of
their team building initiatives.
1. Define the Teams Performance Needs
A thorough gap analysis enables the design and
selection of the most effective team building
strategy so it's important to clearly identify where
the team is now and where it needs to be. Identify
and prioritize the issues, systems and skills that
need to be developed. Involve the team in this
assessment as it builds awareness and ownership.
If you don’t have the resources to do this or if
you’re dealing with a particularly challenging team
then consider engaging an independent consultant.
2. Determine the Purpose
Use the results of your needs assessment to
determine and prioritize the objectives of your team
building. For example will the team building focus
on: Improving and strengthening the team’s dynamics,
climate and culture, or Establishing or improving
team structures, systems and processes, or Are you
using team building to recognize the team’s
achievements?
While these areas are interconnected (often one
factor will positively influence another) it’s
unwise and unrealistic to incorporate too many into
one program. Focus on a few, do them well, and
establish the new or improved practices with the
team before moving onto the next
3. Differentiate between Recognition and Performance
Improvement
Fun team building events, which are designed to
reward the team, let the team know they are valued
and their efforts appreciated. It’s important to
invest time in building relationships through social
interaction too so do allow time for team building
of this nature. However, no amount of social
interaction or team "trust falls" will produce
sustained improvements where issues exist with the
team’s leadership, design or dynamics. Just because
we worked well once as team suspended 50ft in the
air doesn’t guarantee we will come Monday when
systems crash, calls spike and phone lines jam.
Teams return to the same environment with little
insight, agreement or the skills to make the
necessary improvements to their system.
4. Increase Insight to Improve Performance
If you work with a consultant, ensure they design
programs which involve action learning to
generates individual and collective insight. This
doesn’t mean you need ropes, a cliff or a kayak.
Meaningful insight occurs with less adventurous and
expensive activities as long as effective debriefing
supports it. Debriefing is the key to deep team
learning so ensure your team building dedicates time
to thoroughly debriefing activities and exercises.
5. Follow Up and Follow Through
Even well considered and structured team building
events fuel cynicism when the team fails to follow
through. Raised expectations go unmet, little
changes, cynicism and resistance deepen, morale and
performance plummet. The team building “buzz” fades
and it’s back to (bad) business as usual.
To avoid this ensure your team building produces a
record of the team’s learning. This record and most
importantly, the team’s action plan are the tools
the team needs to implement new skills, great ideas
and agreements. They are far more powerful than team
building tales and anecdotes. They help to keep the
team on track so the buzz lasts much longer.
6. Team Building is Not the Silver Bullet
Recognize that team building events are only a small
part of the overall team development process.
However invest as much time upfront with your
analysis and planning as you can. When poorly
conceived, designed and executed team building can
deliver a big dent in your budget for little more
than a short-lived blip in morale.

Delaware Team Building Ideas & Tips
Here are some useful techniques, theory and ideas for designing
and using your own team building games, exercises and
activities.
There are many team building games, exercises and
activities available on our site. Team building games, exercises and
activities help build teams, develop employee motivation,
improve communications and are fun - for corporate
organizations, groups, children's development and even kids
parties. Team building games, exercises, activities and quizzes
also warm up meetings, improve training, and liven up
conferences. These free team building games ideas and rules will
help you design and use games and exercises for training
sessions, meetings, workshops, seminars or conferences, for
adults, young people and children, in work, education or for
clubs and social activities. Team building games, exercises and
activities can also enhance business projects, giving specific
business outputs and organizational benefits. We cannot accept
responsibility for any liability which arises from the use of
any of these free team building ideas or games. Always ensure
that you have proper insurance in
place for all team building games
activities, and take extra care when
working with younger people,
children and organizing kids party
games, especially when using
inflatatables such as rock walls,
bounce houses, slides and more.
Great teamwork makes things happen more than
anything else in organizations. At the heart of the best
examples of teamwork is love and spirituality which helps bring
mutual respect, compassion, and humanity to work. People working
for each other in teams is powerful force, more than skills,
processes, policies. More than annual appraisals,
management-by-objectives, the 'suits' from head office; more
than anything. Teams usually become great teams when they decide
to do it for themselves - not because someone says so. Something
inspires them maybe, but ultimately the team decides. It's a
team thing. It has to be. The team says: 'Okay. We can bloody
well make a difference. We will be the best at what we do. We'll
look out for each other and succeed - for us - for the team. And
we'll make sure we enjoy ourselves while we're doing it'. And
then the team starts to move mountains.
Using and planning team-building
activities In Delaware
People are best motivated if you can involve them in
designing and deciding the activities - ask them. Secondly you
will gain most organizational benefit if the activities are
geared towards developing people's own potential - find out what
they will enjoy doing and learning. Games can be trite or
patronizing for many people - they want activities that will
help them learn and develop in areas that interest them for
life, beyond work stuff - again ask them. When you ask people
commonly you'll have several suggestions which can be put
together as a collection of experiences that people attend or
participate in on a rotating basis during the day or the
team-building event. Perhaps you have people among your
employees who themselves have special expertise or interests
which they'd enjoy sharing with others; great team activities
can be built around many hobbies and special interests. If you
are planning a whole day of team-building activities bear in
mind that a whole day of 'games' is a waste of having everyone
together for a whole day. Find ways to provide a mix of
activities that appeal and help people achieve and learn - maybe
build in exercises focusing on one or two real work challenges
or opportunities, using a workshop approach. Perhaps involve a
few employees in planning the day (under your guidance or not
according to the appropriate level of delegated authority) - it
will be good for their own development and will lighten your
load.
Delaware team exercises for
developing new ethical organizations
Corporate
Team-building exercises and activities also provide
a wonderful opportunity to bring to life the
increasing awareness and interest in 'ethical
organizations'. These modern ethical business ideas
and concepts of sustainability, 'Fair-trade',
corporate social responsibility, the 'triple bottom
line', love, compassion, humanity and spirituality,
etc., are still not well defined or understood:
people are unclear what it all means for them
individually and for the organization as a whole,
even though most people are instinctively attracted
to the principles. Team-exercises and discussions
help bring clarity and context to idealistic
concepts like ethics and social responsibility far
more effectively than reading the theory, or trying
to assimilate some airy-fairy new mission statement
dreamed up by someone at head office and handed down
as an edict. Fundamental change has to come from
within, with support from above sure, but successful
change is ultimately successful because people 'own'
it and see it as their change, not something handed
down. See for example the Triple Bottom Line
exercise.
Ensure that company team-building activities comply with
equality and discrimination policy and law in
respect of gender, race, disability, age, etc. Age
discrimination is a potential risk given certain
groups and activities, and particularly so because
Age Discrimination is quite a recent area of
legislation. Team-building facilitators should be
familiar with the Employment Equality Age
Regulations, effective 1st October 2006. While this
is UK and European legislation, the principles are
applicable to planning and running team-building
exercises anywhere in the world, including Delaware, being consistent
with the ethical concepts.
