Team Building


Team Building and Team Working

Every professional, manager or executive should know as to how to build the teams and also work as one of the team members. Team building and team working are star competencies in today's organizations or today's world of interdependence.

System of Interdependence and Synergy
In highly competitive environment an organization needs “synergy” i.e. component elements in an organization should interact in such a manner that the outcome is a multiplier effect rather than an arithmetic sum total. It is possible only through the team work in the organization because every one ultimately works in a system of interdependence.

Synergy

Normally,

1 + 1 = 2

But some times
when you work as a “team”,

1 + 1 may become 11.

It may well become 111.

or even 1111, in fact there is no limit.

That is “synergy”.

It is synchronized energy.

It is a multiplier effect.

It is growth in geometric progression

or

even, exponential.

Pre-requisites for Team Building and Team Work
  • Common objectives
  • Trust
  • Cooperation
  • Support
  • Information sharing
  • Mutual respect
  • Accountability
  • Positive group- no back-biting or stabbing at the back
Building Trust With Subordinates

  • Reprimand without discouraging
Understanding of team building and team work need as a backdrop an understanding of "group dynamics/group process". You may read about it at: (Group Dynamics) http://group-dynamics-process.blogspot.com/
