Adaptive Training on Team Work
I took a group of 65 for a team building program in Jan 2007. We did a number of elements in the event, but I really feel that the most memorable and rather unexpected highlights came from a seemingly simple task.
I asked each natural working group to design and present a flag that says who they are, and what they would like other people to think of them.
They were only given 10 minutes to design, and 5 minutes to present to the whole group.
I thought all groups did exceptionally well. That is team work manifests in its purest form. When putting a group of disparage people together, it is amazing what they can accomplish when group dynamics, creativity, and team spirit set in. Companies that understand and take pain to cultivate positive working environment with great team work has statistically proven to do better than companies otherwise.
