Effective Team Building More than Just Fun at Work

The article discusses the implications of effective team building. Nick Conner, vice president for program development at TeamBuilders, stated that clients in recent years are rigorous that is why they are putting metrics behind it so they know where their money goes. Conner devised a group game where the participants can realize that they easily give conflicting orders to their fellow workers. He stated that the discussion and analysis that follows the exercise is very important. He stressed that team building programs make insights, and these insights lead to applications. J. T. Taylor, president of TeamBuildingUSA, admitted that managers frequently fail to see that team-building exercises will not repair poor communication or rebuild trust among employees.
