Team building focuses on creating highly effective individuals who know how to work efficiently together to accomplish more. The process usually involves formation and clarification of a main goal and selection of objectives that lead toward it. An effective team is able to build ownership across itself as well as identify its strengths and weaknesses. Inhibitors to teamwork are expected to be overcome or eliminated but if this cannot be achieved fully, the negative impact should instead be mitigated.
Team assessment is important through feedback so that any given group or organization can continue moving forward by using its potential well and correcting its faults and shortcomings. The objective of team assessment is to identify the gap between the main goal and the current state of the team as well as devise strategies and techniques that will help reduce the gap. The team needs to consider each existing member and assign and allocate properly to use that person’s strengths well to contribute more to the group. The team’s capacity will significantly improve if each member provides support corresponding to his or her personal interests and skills.
Exercises for team building should focus on both problem solving and decision making. company executives, students or any other organization face different challenges everyday which require critical and timely solutions. Excellent activities emphasize the need for navigation and proper allocation of assets and resources. Traditional team building exercises may only be limited in bringing out the best in the leader plus one or two other members in the group. An effective approach is to foster team dynamics realizing the need for every person.
Some traditional approaches may include games and puzzles that require collaborative effort between members. However, the message may not be fully understood by all participants. Each activity needs to point out the importance of problem solving and decision making among members in the sense that they start out with their own personal strengths and advantages then work together to accomplish a common goal.
Treasure Hunt Adventures provides a dynamic approach by incorporate different team activities to unlock different clues towards solving a huge puzzle. The exercise generally involves teams searching for clues and a key to unlocking a treasure chest. Challenges are both physical and mental and encourage teams to think and create solutions as well as act on them equally. Each member is highly valued in any given task so the treasure hunt metaphor can easily be related to the same critical conditions and challenges that come up in the workplace or home. Members can then expect to improve their leadership skills and assertiveness to communicate better and work with teams more efficiently.
