4. The Concept of Team Building
Team building is the process of increasing a team's cohesiveness, productivity, and efficiency by
coming up with activities that require members to work together.
This process relies on a range of aspects to guarantee its success.
These include factors such as:
• Good communication skills
• Clarity of goals
• Shared leadership
• Sense of accountability
6. The Purpose of a Team
Behind any business success lies a great team. This formula applies to startups as much as it does to
international huge organizations.
A team exists to allow an endeavor to grow, scale, and thrive in a way that would be literally impossible
for one person to do.
A successful team starts with selecting the right people—those who value working toward a common
goal, are goal-oriented, and respect the hierarchical structure that most businesses require.
Once the right people are in place,
the goal is to bring them together into a cohesive unit.

8. What Makes a Team Effective?
Characteristic Description
Defining the
Primary Goal
The main function of forming the group should be made clear right off the bat. The best way to define this
purpose is by setting solid and measurable targets. This way, every team member knows exactly how his or
her work contributes to accomplishing the organizational goal.
Frequent
Communication
Another aspect that makes up an effective team entails open and free channels of communication. There
should be constant communication not just among the team members but also between the team and the
whole organization. This way, team members will always have the information they need to undertake their
roles.
Responsibility
and Dedication
When team members are aware of what expectations need to be met, they are more ready to be held
accountable for their decisions and work. Similarly, these team members are willing to undertake proactive
measures to finish the assigned tasks within a given timeframe.
Overall, members of a good team are not only aware of the objectives, but they also commit themselves
wholeheartedly to achieve the set goals.
Laissez-faire
Leadership
Another trait of an effective team is that it practices delegative leadership. What this means is that members
are ready to take up leadership positions when situations call for it. This style of communal leadership
fosters a shared responsibility, and it helps in boosting the members’ motivation and productivity.
9. Why Invest in Team Building?
To achieve goals
Tasks are delegated to the members depending on their strengths, experience, and skills. Such a practice translates to
improved work performance since employees learn to work together in achieving organizational goals.
To foster competition
A healthy competition. This not only motivates employees, but it also encourages them to apply this principle at work.
Competition has been proven to improve workers’ productivity.
To build face-to-face interactions
Whenever employees are asked to work together on a task, they often communicate through email or online chat
forums. While this can be efficient, face-to-face interaction often has valuable benefits. Not only does it help to reduce
confusion, it also makes working together a more social experience.
