Building A Successful Team Is Not Difficult!

Everyone knows "teamwork makes the dream work" but many don't take the necessary steps to build a team that works well together- Instead many focus on individual goals. Here is my advice on how you can build a great team with simple exercises that will excel your team into success!

Start off by scheduling out group activity time for team building- Make sure this happens consistently and does not get pushed off on the back-burner. Start with having everyone take Love-language Quizzes an/or Personality tests and follow up with a discussion about the results. Lead the discussion with pointed questions- allowing the team to understand how each person works best.

For a great "well-oiled machine" team you need everyone to have an understanding of how each other thrives and handles failures. It is important to discuss what bothers people, or even their pet-peeves. Also, discuss what each of you need in moments of struggle or stress- so that when someone is overloaded the team knows how to respond in that moment to help them.

Follow up with scheduled team building exercises, every month or quarterly. These can be found online with a simple google or Pinterest search, FREE resources are a quick search away. These meetings do not have to be long, but long enough to get everyone involved. Never do an activity without discussing how it can positively impact the group- this way everyone is on the same page and took something from the activity that will benefit the team & produce a healthy work environment.
