Team Building -TUK French Club.

 A Report on TUK French club- Team building dated 19/2/2022

Introduction

Team building refers to the activities undertaken by groups of people in order to increase their motivation and boost cooperation. Many people use the phrases “team building” and “teamwork” interchangeably. However, they are two distinct concepts. While team building places emphasis on the creation of groups, teamwork emphasizes the functions of these groups.

Team Building - a group working on a challenge.

Although team building activities are meant to increase cohesiveness and cooperation, many don’t understand how spending a day playing games can help them bond. The truth is, how we use team building within us helps to shape us on  attitudes towards the process.

As such, les dirigeants should seek to understand team building better as it will help increase their effectiveness and techniques on the relevance of team building.

Findings 

What Makes a Team Effective?

From the expérience , the following traits are the most important for team building:

 Characteristic Description

Defining the Primary Goal The main function of forming the group should be made clear right off the bat. The best way to define this purpose is by setting solid and measurable targets. This way, every team member knows exactly how his or her work contributes to accomplishing the club goal.

Frequent Communication

-Another aspect that makes up an effective team entails open and free channels of communication.

There should be constant communication not just among the team members but also between the team and the club. This way, team members will always have the information they need to undertake their roles.

Responsibility and Dedication When team members are aware of what expectations need to be met, they are more ready to be held accountable for their decisions and work. Similarly, these team members are willing to undertake proactive measures to finish the assigned tasks within a given timeframe.

Overall, members of a good team are not only aware of the objectives, but they also commit themselves wholeheartedly to achieve the set goals.

Leadership

-Another trait of an effective team is that it practices delegative leadership. What this means is that members are ready to take up leadership positions when situations call for it. This style of communal leadership fosters a shared responsibility, and it helps in boosting the members’ motivation and productivity.

 

Methods of Team Building

Determining the characteristics that make up effective teams is not enough. Leaders also need to learn how they can go about building these traits into their teams. When forming a team, these are some of the steps that one should follow:

 -Make the team goals and objectives clear

 -Making the goals clear is crucial to the success of any project. It means that every leader should start by providing comprehensive explanations of how each team member’s actions help in achieving the main goals. Apart from making the goals known, leaders also need to establish the specific activities that members should prioritize. This way, every member knows exactly when and where his help is required.

With clear goals, it is also easier for members to see how their personal  goals align with a project’s goals. Without this clarity, many employees may focus on achieving their own goals at the expense of the team. The good thing is that if there are open channels of communication, employees can always inquire how their personal goals are related to those of the club.

 

Choosing team members

When it comes to selecting team members, there are three key aspects that one ought to consider – individualism, multidimensionality, and the level of the team’s skills.

- Leaders need  to strike a balance between the experience and skills of different team members. It means distributing work evenly based on the strengths of the members. On that note, new members should also learn how to work as a fully functioning part of the team.

- Leaders may have to partner the new members with those who have the experience to mentor them.

Team diversity is more than just a combination of skills. It also refers to how people from different cultures, genders, and races work together to achieve goals. Diversity may be essential, as it enables team members to view goals from different perspectives and come up with the best way of achieving them.

 

Investing in Team Building -  team work

Why Invest in Team Building?

 

1) To achieve goals

In a team-building setting, the purpose of and rules governing the team building activities are made clear to the members at the beginning. Tasks are then delegated to the members depending on their strengths, experience, and skills. This helps the members to work toward accomplishing the main team goals. Such a practice translates to improved work performance since employees learn to work together in achieving club goals.

 2) To foster competition

Nothing motivates an underperforming team to work harder than healthy competition. The team building activities involved  two different teams competing to achieve a specific goal. Whether a team loses or emerges triumphant, the odds are that members will be driven to give their best. This not only motivates members, but it also encourages them to apply this principle at work. Competition was  proven to improve  productivity.

 3) To build face-to-face interactions

-Whenever members are asked to work together on a task, they often communicate through I.G or WhatsApp and online chat forums. While this can be efficient, face-to-face interaction often has valuable benefits. Not only does it help to reduce confusion, it also makes working together a more social experience.

 

Conclusion.

Team building is the process of increasing a team’s cohesiveness, productivity, and efficiency by coming up with activities that require members to work together. This process relies on a range of aspects to guarantee its success. These include factors such as good communication skills, clarity of goals, shared leadership, and a sense of accountability.

In addition to the above mentioned traits; leaders  should pick teams based on diversity and skill levels. Overall, team building helps many to  achieve goals and foster healthy competition.
