Team building
Team building develops the relationships, clarity and ways of working that help a team perform effectively. It can involve agreeing goals, clarifying roles, improving communication and practising joint problem solving. Its value depends on relevant changes in how people work together rather than the novelty of an activity.
Worked example
A project team clarifies overlapping responsibilities and agrees how to resolve handover problems, then reviews whether rework has fallen. This is more directly useful than a social event with no link to the difficulties.
Common mistake
Assuming every away-day improves teamwork or using team building to avoid fixing unclear authority and inadequate resources.
