Having a Team Building event for your company in the start of the year helps to regain the energy in your team and acts as a reminder to the team about the need to work towards goal achievement. In the same vain it helps keep them in check with the important skills of a team. Below are some of the crucial team work skills to be kept in check.

Time management

We know it’s been a time of relaxing and getting up late or a few minutes past the usual time. With the activities involved in the team building, we bring back the vibe and the early riser spirit. As well known, time management, accountability and responsibility are critical and equally important for your team.

Collaboration

Sometimes teamwork can be challenging, but more often it is a great opportunity to uncover creative ideas, share different perspectives and experiences, as well as enhance your team members’ individual skills. Treating each group project as an opportunity to learn through experience, you help foster a more productive team environment. Therefore, each team member’s desire to learn and willingness to explore new approaches will make them a better contributor, manager or leader.

Communication

This skill is the pillar of effective teamwork. Whether you’re working on a presentation with your teammates or spearheading a new project at work, it’s important to talk openly and honestly with your group or team about expectations, deadlines, and responsibilities. Creating open lines of communication encourages trust and makes for a positive team environment. While differences might occur, being upfront and respectful in your communication with other team members will help you resolve issues quickly.

Problem-solving

Active problem solvers are able to think outside the box when trials or issues arise. Rather than focusing on negative outcomes, they stay calm and help their team work towards a solution. This tactic helps disclose barriers or inadequacies that are hindering the team’s success, so you can work to improve those procedures in the future.

Active listening

While working in a group, it’s vital to keep an open mind. Recognizing that your team members may be seeing things from a different angle and hearing them out creates a great rapport. Listening to other points of view can enable you see multiple sides of an issue, including ones that you have never considered before. With our team building activities, we help you to find out and allow you to be a better colleague and leader, to anticipate needs and challenges before they arise and respond to them effectively.

Critical thinking

This skill enables you to make better, more informed decisions. In as much as it may be tempting to follow along with whatever the group decides, or what one team member believes is the best course of action, but sometimes a different approach or a new idea can help achieve better results. Critical thinking and analysis of all sides of an issue, reflecting on past experiences, and listening to what other group members have to say, you could arrive at a development that moves your team forward in new and exciting ways.

Leadership

Leaders who works well with others – within his or her own department and across departments – can help spread knowledge and resources, develop new leaders and contribute to a company’s success. With some of our team building activities which involve having a team leader, we focus on how to demonstrate strong teamwork skills by promoting collaboration, acting as a mentor or coach for their employees and by empowering others to learn, grow and advance. The activities, helps to sharpen and develop the individual’s leadership skills.

Conclusion

Teamwork is among the most sough-after attribute in the place of work. With the advancements in technology, this has given organizations opportunities to be extra linked and collaborative than ever before, with a diverse workforce dispersed around the world.
