Question: Does team building actually work?
Answer:
Asking this question is like asking if exercise works. Yes exercise does work if you are committed and there is enough effort. Team building is like exercising your team in a safe environment making use of experiential learning activities. Taking a day off with your team to go for a proper, well-planned, well managed team building will not make your team an overnight success, but it will help to align your team for future success. If we can get the team to realize that there’s only hard work and no shortcuts. Also that you have to wake up the following day and work as hard to make the team successful!
