Why is team building important?
 |
| The whole is greater than the sum of its parts |
- Team-building can help develop new leaders while reinforcing the basic skills of experienced leaders
- Many hands make for light work
- The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
- Value diversity, value differences - to respect them, to build on strengths, and to compensate for weaknesses.
- How many times have leaders given detailed tasks to people who are big-picture oriented, or assigned jobs that required toughness to people who are essentially very harmonious in nature?
Team Conflict – Why does it happen?
- Many times, personality conflicts are the result of misunderstandings that build up over time.
- Conflict is reducing team effectiveness; communication and teamwork are broken
- Conflict isn't a bad thing. In fact, constructive conflict is a good thing because it generates energy and passion, as well as developing new thinking and actually moving the team forward."
- Conflict allows people to voice their opinions, make recommendations even if not popular, and an opportunity to get off their chest what is bothering them
- Conflict provides an opportunity to change and grow. It is the catalyst that drives us to become better and more mature people.
- Productive conflict only occurs if individual team members can trust each other and debate doesn't turn into an "I'm right - you're wrong" competition
Team Conflict Resolution – How to avoid?
- Do not side with one or another of two squabbling workers
- Each team member needs to be trustworthy
- Treat all co-workers with trust and respect
- Resolving Conflicts Quickly and Peacefully
- If you cannot get along with and lead all kinds of people, you will not be an effective leader. You must be able to lead even the most difficult people.
- Avoid being judgmental and critical of others
- Attack the problem, not the person.
- Control work, not workers
- Focus on what can be done, not on what can't be done.
- Listen More: Listening to both verbal and nonverbal messages, you can gather more information to make accurate and fair decisions
Thank you. Team building is important.
ReplyDeleteThe more each team member trusts and respects each other, the better the cooperation and the more efficient the work.
Some members think they work best if they have more fun, like frequent outings.
Do you think a leader should please their team members and organize more outings for the team?
