Team Building

To be successful today you have to work in teams and the stronger the team-the greater the results, it's just that simple.

Business is moving too fast for one person to keep up these days, that's why the day of the 'lone ranger leader' is dead and gone, you have to work in teams and you have to do it well.

I've studied corporate team building for over 20 years as a trainer working with large and small companies across America. Here's what I've seen in building strong and successful teams.

1) Different approaches get results in different environments- there is no 'magic formula'

2) Any approach to build unity among a business team achieves a better result than doing nothing at all

3) Results are the goal, so careful selection of key programs to address problem areas is essential for success


Which team building method is best?
New teams- need personality profiles, like the Myers-Briggs, to understand one another
Changing teams- need communication building skills to stay focused
High growth teams- need strategic planning to extend the growth cycle
Stressed teams- need structure and stability exercises to rebuild morale
Weak teams- need trust building experiences, like corporate ropes courses
Hybrid teams- need a customized format that rapidly changes to address key issues
