Team building

TEAM= a team as a group of people brought together to use their


complementary skills to achieve a common purpose for which they are
collectively accountable.

• TEAMWORK=Real teamwork occurs when team members accept and


live up to their collective accountability by actively working together
so that all their respective skills are best used to achieve team goals.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH
PERFORMANE TEAM
Forming

• Forming
• The forming stage brings the team members together for the first
time so they can get acquainted and discuss their expectations.
• Basic ground rules are established: what is the purpose of the team?
How often will it meet? Should everyone expect to participate?
• It is important for team members to meet each other and begin to
develop social bonds during the forming stage. Team leaders may
organize a social activity that encourages members to interact and
build relationships.
storming stage
• In the storming stage, team members voice their differences about
team goals and procedures.
• Differences may involve goal priorities, the allocation of team
resources, fair work procedures, role expectations, or the selection of
a team leader.
• These are important issues and all team members must be
comfortable with the decisions before the team can perform its task.
Conflict is considered to be normal part of this stage of team
development that should be dealt with out in the open, rather than
suppressed.
• Coalitions often form during the storming stage, and these subgroups
may compete for dominance in setting the team agenda.
• Such conflict must be managed so that the team can move forward. If
it is not properly managed, conflict can halt team development,
leading to failure.
• Team leaders can play an important role by defusing the negative
aspects of conflict and tapping its creative energies so that harmony
and cohesion are achieved.
Norming

• Norming
• The Norming Stage is characterized by resolution of conflict and
agreement over team goals and values.
• Team members understand their roles and establish closer
relationships, intensifying the cohesion and interdependence of
members.
• At this point, the members begin to develop and identity as a team
rather than as a group of individuals. The team is in agreement about
how to deal with and sanction members who violate important team
rules and procedures.
Performing
• The performing stage is characterized by a focus on the performance
of the tasks delegated to the team.
• Team members collaborate to capture synergies between individuals
with complementary skills.
• When situations change and new tasks and priorities emerge, the
team adjusts its tactics.
• When the team receives critical feedback, it has the flexibility to learn
from its mistakes and make improvements.
• The performing stage of team development can be viewed as the
payoff of the investment of time and effort by team members.
• Forcing a team to perform before it has its house in order (by
skipping some stages or spending too little time on the earlier stages)
is likely to result in a malfunctioning team that is unable to achieve
performance expectations.
Adjourning/Transforming Stage
• Adjourning/Transforming Stage
• Teams that are designed to disband reach the adjourning stage when the
team has completed its work.
• Team members feel satisfaction about the completion of the team‘s goals,
but they are also anxious about possible new assignments and about
separating from friends they made on the team.
• It is a good idea to have a ceremony that celebrates the end of the project
or mission when the adjourning stage is reached, especially if the team‘s
work was successful.
• Team members benefit from feedback on lessons learned that they can
apply to future assignments.
IMPORTANCE
• If you look closely at every team in your workplace, you may find
some individuals with various skills, values, and experience. Now, if
you wish to improve overall productivity in no time, all you need to do
is combine all these high-performing individuals and let them work
together as a team.
• Activities to build stronger teams will allow you to improve the
communication, adaptability, and performance of your workforce.
• In essence, building teams is extremely necessary to grow any
business as it helps everyone know one another better, bond, and
learn new skills together for the betterment of the business.
