Team Building

TEAMBUILDING !!! Changing a group of people into a high performing team Even with the best players, a team doesn’t start great, but goes through fairly predictable stages until it performs on its best . Don’t think of team building just as an “exercise” or a “moment” that you go out with your team and have some team building games. Team building is a constant everyday process. Every action the team leaders takes (or does not take) shapes the team culture and what is acceptable or not as behaviour .

1° Step : Get to know your team ! ,[object Object],Informal moments – do not forget that having informal fun moments with the team (and it should not only happen in the beginning). This needs to happen during the whole term of the team. Example of informal moments can be having lunch together after the team weekly meeting, going to a pub every first Friday of the month, having each month a different team member cooking to the others in the team each, etc.

Set a team vision and goals ,[object Object],[object Object]

Agree on roles and responsibilities ,[object Object]

Set team rules and processes ,[object Object],USE the rules – like the vision, is easy to come up with rules and afterwards forget them. It’s the team leader’s role to call early team members’ behaviours that are not following the set rules. Other good action to do is to remember periodically the team rules, evaluate their effectiveness and see if the team wants to add, remove or modify some of the rules. Team meetings – one of the most common problems on team processes is poorly managed or not frequent enough team meetings. Ideally a team should meet every week and the meetings should generate concrete next steps towards achieving the team plan.

Planning and tracking ,[object Object],[object Object]

Leading by example ,[object Object],Team Days Team days are simply a set of days where the team gets together to work together in a different set of issues. Just like a conference only to the team, it can have different objectives and sessions, as well as a different number of days. During team days you can also do a lot of other activities out from AIESEC !! It’s very important to plan for your year some “ teambuilding activities” followed by a good and attentive debriefing !

Driving results through team development - Scoring the goals through development of your team ,[object Object],Team Identity Having team logo, motto, t-shirts, roll call is something that can create a sense of unity, being part of something :)

Dealing with people, using emotional intelligence Going towards a vision, analyzing strategy, coming up with plans, being innovative and calculating risks, these are all important aspects of leadership and management that demand some conceptual and intellectual thinking . But who accomplish these visions and plans? People! So one of the most important abilities a leader could have is how to effectively interact with people . And that’s how emotional intelligence comes into play. The idea of emotional intelligence, the author Daniel Goleman says, is having the ability to marshal your own emotional impulses (or, at least, more than those who are not emotionally intelligent); Emotionally intelligent people have the self-awareness to know what they are feeling, and are able to think about and express those things; they have empathy for the feelings of others and insight into how others think; they can do things like delay gratification; they are optimistic and generally positive; they understand easily the dynamics of a given group, and, most important, where they fit inside that group.
