Team building in Zaton
|

"Team building" (or "'teambuilding'") refers to the process of establishing and developing the capacity of specific groups of people to accomplish certain tasks. Team building has many contexts, for example in sport clubs and work organizations.
Modern society and culture continues to become more fluid and dynamic. Factors contributing to this include the communications revolution, the global market and the ever-increasing specialization and division of labor. The net effect is that individuals are now required to move between working with many different groups of people in their working and also personal lives.
Joining a new group and immediately being expected to get along with them is somewhat unnatural - historically humans have evolved to work and live in close-knit, static societies. Hence the sudden need for methods to help people adapt to the new requirements. All kinds of people, from investment bankers to catering staff and session musicians, face the same difficulties. As yet there is no generally agreed solution to the problem - it may not even be possible given the thousands of years of cultural evolution that brought us to our present behavior patterns.
As team performance reflects on management, managers -- and even coaches -- sometimes feel the need to take part in constructing and fostering teams.
As with
many activities, the methodology and effectiveness of team building programs can run a full gamut.
The term 'team building' can refer generally to the selection and motivation of teams, or more specifically to group self-assessment in the theory and practice of organizational development.
When a team in an organizational development context embarks upon a process of self-assessment in order to gauge its own effectiveness and thereby improve performance, it can be argued that it is engaging in team building, although this may be considered a narrow definition.
To assess itself, a team seeks feedback to find out
its current strengths as a team, and
its current weaknesses
To improve its current performance, a team uses the feedback from the team assessment in order to identify any gap between the desired state and the actual state
and to design a gap-closure strategy. |
