Management Team Building Activity Ideas & Advice is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Clear Communication - the more effective their communication, the less conflict you will have to manage and the more you team will get done.
- Beneficial Team Behaviours - help your team create a set of parameters that frame their collective behaviours and expectations. Consider implementing a working agreement (eg Full Value Contract) for guidance to get started.
- Well-defined Decision Procedures - establish a clear system of decision-making protocols. Don’t micro-manage, but don’t let you team flounder either.
- Balance Participation - engage and empower every member of your team to feel valued and invite their contribution, at all times, no matter their role or seniority. The more people feel involved, the more they will buy into the vision of what you’re trying to get done.
- Establish Ground Rules - this is related to beneficial team behaviours, but is focused primarily on building and nourishing a productive team culture. It takes time, and it requires your leadership to manage these rules.
