When considering a team building event, you should know and be prepared to discuss the outcomes that you most value and the take-aways you desire your team to enjoy following the event.
Each group is different, and your unique mixture of personalities and project requirements brings with it specific needs to ensure that your people are able to work together as productively as possible.
The true value of teambuilding is found in the application of the activities your people will experience and how they are then used as an enjoyable, memorable and impactful tool to drive home a key idea or message that your team needs to internalize.
Obviously, your appreciation or personal ranking of the teambuilding outcomes above will be based upon your current situation and group dynamics. You will likely have noticed and highlighted the outcomes or take-aways that your team would most benefit from.
But for any leader, regardless of situation, there is most certainly a great value in considering the impact that a full or half-day teambuilding event can have on your team.
If you are presently dealing with an issue that one of the above outcomes would help to address, take a few minutes to learn more about a sample team building schedule or visit our teambuilding faqs page.
