When I started playing golf, I have a lot of questions. (I still do, but now most are made rhetoric under my breath). One that I'm still trying to answer is how to escape from a sand trap. My philosophy of golf companions say that the best way not to get into the traps. Here are three common approaches to team building and sand bunkers inherent in them.
1) One Shot ... I forgot!
Team Building Training
Usually a day's introduction to team building. Participants areintroduced the benefits and advantages of team building and maybe even a little 'of TQM. The program is presented in a classroom or teaching, either on site or at a conference center.
Many organizations offer a day of introduction to team building. The programs are generally well managed and professionally presented. Participants may be an entire department or management only.
Positive: Participants leave with an introduction to the potential benefits of the teamApproach. These programs are usually left to the motivation and the majority of the participants' rather than raise "to start programs in their institutions.
The Fallen: the effects are minimal or very short: there is' true buy-in "often to the team concept, this approach has no direct application of the participants to work again with the same behavior the day before ...
2) a day of play .. To Get Away!
Typically, an outdoor activity. Most programs are for one day, even ifThere are some running up to two weeks. Most brokers are major recreational and physical. Programs, if properly managed, are even more confident that the company picnic softball game.
Positive: the effective implementation of team concepts. Allows the group to interact in a new environment outside of normal working hours. Offers to discuss a variety of topics. Breaks the normal pattern of work.
The Fallen: it lacks most of follow-up programs,Reinforcement and appropriate organizational transfer. From the moderators do not have a wet or industrial business background, we understand the corporate culture correctly transferred the experience to the work environment. Participants leave with a feeling good about themselves, the organization and its employees, but do not know how to apply their new skills. If not properly designed and implemented this approach can alienate members of the less physically activeGroup.
3) Make It Work .. Or are you an idiot!
Usually started with a middle or senior management. It might begin like this: A team-building CEO says the Harvard Business Review and the decrees of the new team approach. He or she has a note stating that all employees are the managers and the CEO of appeal to the name. (I know of three major organizations that run their team-building program in this way.) Project is "dumped" on the central manager's responsibilityThe run it, sometimes half a manager comes up with the idea and sold it to management, the project was approved but the board will not have the emotional and financial commitment needed to succeed.
RESULTS: The program is doomed to failure. The top management does not understand the scope of the project, nor recognize that the learning curve can be very painful. The initiator of the program: jump "to failure" and dispenses with the production"The more good ideas?" in the future. The Council rejects any notion of hours team concept Thew.
Six ways to stay out of The Fallen Trainer
1) Understand that the "team" term is different for everyone. This will save you many hours of aggravation and frustration.Find find out what the perception is "team" in your organization. Interview with the CEO, top managers, personnel management and staff, trainers and other HR colleagues. Knowing what the expectations will helpDesigning the right program for your organization and the people in it.
Think 2) objectively. Are you a coach! What do you want to know the people in your organization, or to find out for themselves? Remember, each person in your organization to a radio station W-II-FM (which is in it for me?) Need to know how this "new approach" will help them and what is expected of them combined. You must know the negative side, as well.
3) Plan! Plan! Plan! To develop the entire programBefore riding the first "Go Team" poster on the bulletin board. Change the course of your team-building sailing ships when it is very difficult and expensive.Know where you want. Knowing all the stops along the way and when you need to be there.
4) Do your homework. This team-building expert. read books to write every bit of information available. Cut out the article. Rent the video and audio cassettes. Knowing how to quantify the results and consultants who are not, if youYou probably know more about team building in outside trainers try to get your business.
5) separate the fluff stuff. Check the credentials and experience of all your trainers and consultants. Many have never held a position in the industry and have no clue about the problems of company policy. have never been on a hostile takeover or reorganization. Some big names of their clients can be assigned only the result of a small labor.We offer our potential customers with a list of questions that are trainers and consultants who make up his list of questions that can make a big difference in the success of the program do.
6) Set up a program that "team" approach to rewards. The bonus, compensation and benefits must notify the right results and positive behaviors. The development of a system that works is to take a high degree of understanding and coordination. In our next article will show you howOrganization seeks a reward system that almost led to catastrophe.
One-day seminars, outdoor education, adventure training, in-house programs and group dynamics can be important parts of building a productive and effective teams. But they must be included in a solid, well-designed program. All resources must be focused on the goal.
A disjointed approach can make a hole-in-one from time to time, but while you swing way out of difficult cases, yourCompetition celebrates his victory at the 19. A complete team approach to help you and your organization through a golf tournament on the legs.
