Building The Perfect Team For Your Business

The truth is that many employees dread attending team building, morale improving, employee engagement, and team productivity workshops. 

Why do we cringe at the thought? Why does working on team dynamics bring up obstacles for many of us? Why does the concept of team building have negative connotations for so many?

Unfortunately, many employers find that team-building workshops can be a waste of time (and money). They don’t envision a tangible return on the investments they make to encourage teamwork and team building. 

Still, team building is an essential function that helps to achieve structural objectives. So how do you go about building your team without forcing everyone to work together?

It’s important as a business owner to find a team that shares your values, your vision, and your passion.Today, your business gurus at ActionCOACH SW Houston will explain the importance of building the perfect team for your business.

How Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Teamwork is a far deeper concept than group work.

Usually, team building is unsuccessful if the basics aren’t addressed. Organizations hardly pay enough attention to individual motivating aspects, personality styles, and do not have standard operating procedures to help organic team dynamics grow.

Without understanding where every employee stands and what they contribute to the company, you leave significant gaps in the framework of team building.

At ActionCOACH SW Houston, we concentrate on six keys to building a team that brings results, and the foundation of the process focuses on individual contributors and how they improve team productivity.

The six pillars to building a winning team include:

• Strong Leadership
• Common Goals
• Rules of the Game
• Action Plans
• Support Risk Taking
• Complete Involvement and Inclusion

Core Team Building Components Broken Down

Stable leadership - This type of leadership has to be transparent and demonstrate integrity. Strong leaders exhibit behavior and offer clear direction. Strong leaders know that uplifting their team members makes them even stronger.

Common Values - These let team members identify what is worth focusing on and how they fit into the organizational framework like a puzzle piece. Core values, culture points, and a clear vision and mission all fall under common goals.

Rules of the Game - These are simple standard operating guidelines with clear direction on the way things are conducted. These agreed-upon rules offer straightforward criteria of behaviors and actions that the team should take. Detailed rules do not leave much room for interpretation as these obligations pertain to the desired results that the company expects.

Plans To Take Action - These plans give team members clear direction and expectations.

Support Risk Taking - Doing this can spark up innovation and give motivation to team members as they think of new ways to contribute. Learning from failure is beneficial to helping teams achieve success. Build a culture that does not reprimand team members for errors but instead offers a learning opportunity to grow and improve.

100% inclusion and involvement are critical to set up an environment that demands participation. Contributions from everyone in the organization are essential and an outlet to ensure team members work as a collective to reach organizational objectives.

How Team Building Pays Off

Open communication, defined roles and responsibilities, timely feedback and candidness all help build a team’s dynamics. A motivated team member that understands their place and contribution to the team in the bigger picture will be more likely to function and behave in a manner that accomplishes the results because it helps them feel closer to their personal goals.

TEAM doesn’t need to be a four-letter word, its meaning needs to be defined more as, ‘Together WE Achieve More.’
