Team building is a great tool that accelerates organizations in taking the extra mile to reach goals. Although considered to be an extra arm in organization development, it is true that it is indispensable and only those who have a true passion for transforming and motivating individuals can handle this tool efficiently.

Generally, all organizations are composed of an assorted mix of ‘enthusiastic,’ ‘diligent,’ ‘Einstein-like,’ ‘Fun loving,’ ‘Sober, and ‘Hush-hush’ individuals. Bringing together people of such different caliber and getting them to focus on a single goal is quite a challenge. First, it needs the effort of every individual in a team to have an open mind. Secondly, one should respect the views and opinions of another. Thirdly, individuals should make their contributions from a team perspective to achieve the target. Easier said than done, isn’t it? Well, here are a few pointers, which I think are essential for team building:

1. Never be the boss!
Team is a collective word, and should always be considered so to earn the confidence of each team member. A representative of the team must always gel with the team and work “with” them rather than the rest working “for” him/her. Moving with team mates as one among them inspires and motivates, giving a desire to contribute one’s best to the team efforts.

Team Building is not a task as tedious as it is thought to be. In team building:

1. One should not go too much in the technical details. ie. seeing and analysing too much details about the candidate

2. One should follow his heart and then too be in the limits of professionalism. This can be done this way – for example – you know a prospective person whom you think can handle the task but you also have met another person who is more technically qualified to do the task. In this case, you should always see if the person whom you are considering for the team should have an inbuild spirit to at least follow what you say and add a bit of his own brains in such a way that you succeed. Meaning – that he should have his own brains and not just blindly follow what you say

3. You should always think that the person you are selecting does not say too much yes sir and no sir. The less he says ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir’ and he more he is comfortable and relaxed way he behaves with you, the more you should put his chances up to be in your team.
