Working together: A practical look at TEAMBUILDING

Abstract

Teambuilding is essentially a ‘doing’ activity. The benefits to working relationships come from active participation in workshops and projects. As such it is difficult to describe: conventional explanations of the concepts and principles don't take the training manager much further on. Therefore, as part of this article we invite you, the reader, to have a go at the TEAMTRACK game as a way of exploring what teambuilding is about. The author, John Teire, has drawn from his work as a consultant with a range of organisations to design the game. Most of the ideas which are relevant to teambuilding are in there. It is up to you and your colleagues to find your way round them.
