Team Building

Effective Team Building – An Engine For Growth

All businesses succeed with cooperation and a collective effort. Effective team building to create an end product or service is a must for companies intending to grow. Because teams are a collection of individuals, having mechanisms in place to help team members value existing differences contribute greatly to conflict resolution and accelerating the team building process.

Conflict Resolution – 87% Of People Leave Because Of Personality Conflicts

Effective team building benefits greatly from successful conflict resolution. Studies show nearly ninety percent of all employees who leave organizations do so because of a personality conflict. Salary or working conditions or benefit packages are by far less significant than individual conflict. Simply said, personality conflicts are the driving force behind most employees leaving a job.

By its nature, team building requires pulling together many people with varied skill sets to work together as one to achieve a shared goal. Ongoing interaction between team members with different operational needs can cause friction. To maintain a positive and productive atmosphere, conflict resolution processes are used. Team building requires working together to gain efficiency. Effective conflict resolution practices assist greatly in keeping a team functioning together in the most efficient manner.

Leadership Skills Contribute To Team Building

Often times multiple members of a team are required to take responsibility for parts of a process or project. In effective team building, each member may be required to adopt a leadership role in their area of expertise or possibly in a broader capacity. Bartlett Consulting Inc. helps all team members acquire leadership skills and management styles needed to help them fulfill their leadership roles within the team.
