Must & Must Nots of Team Building

"It is amazing what can be accomplished when nobody cares about who gets the credit."
 Robert Yates

Team Building MUST be:

·          A way of life

·          The responsibility of every Team Member

·          A continuous process

·          About developing a clear and unique identity

·          Focused on a clear and consistent set of goals

·          Concerned with the needs and ambitions of each team member recognising the unique contribution that each individual can make  

·          An awareness of the potential of the team as a unit

·          Results oriented

 ·          Enjoyable

Team Building MUST NOT be:

·          A short term, flavor of the month

·          Imposed without regard to peoples’ feelings

·          Spasmodic

·          Reserved for only some members of the team ·          An excuse for not meeting personal responsibilities

·          A process where actions clearly contradict intentions

·          Seen as a chore
