Synopsis

In the very competitive and cost conscious environments today, a lot of companies are beginning to realize that most matters can be successfully dealt with within the company if there are workable teams of problem solving expertise in place. By getting the most out of the resources available from the people already knowledgeable on the problem the company can problem solve more effectively and in a fraction of the time.

Team work entails a lot of activities. There is decision making, problem solving, communication and a number of other activities. In this chapter, we look at the team building exercises that tackle different aspects of teamwork.

• What are the different exercises that a team can participate in?
• What do these exercises entail and how are they important?

Relationships can’t be forced; people need to work on different things to make them work. This is the same thing with teamwork.

People will not just automatically learn to communicate and trust each other. They have to practice on these skills

Fixing It

The successful companies realize that by getting the employees to work in teams, ongoing challenges, opportunities, improvements, re-engineering, product development and many other aspects can be better addressed and solutions found simply based on the oneness effect of the problem solving mindset.

Being able to quickly deploy teams whenever there is a need, can only be done if the proper complimenting tools and training are constantly available.

Some of the problem solving areas that should be covered within the exercise should be clearly defined. These may include clearly defined goals, indentifying and priority listing the barriers pertaining to the said goals, suitable development of solutions that are not only clever and cost effective but should also be workable.

Not forgetting the cooperation of all involved, is another very important element that should not be overlooked as this one element can derail any problem solving exercise.

When all this has been discussed and explored, the next step in the problem solving venture should be to ensure the proper execution of the plan takes place.

Constant or periodic checks should be practiced to ensure the exercise is kept on track and the problems are effectively solved or at the very least some success is shown in understanding the problem and addressing it.

All this is done with the end goal in mind to ensure its smooth and speedy attainment. With the necessary tools and techniques available, most teams can help to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of the company.

Communication Exercises

Needless to say, communication is a vital part of any given relationship. Two people can’t live and work together unless they can communicate with each other. The same theory applies to team, for a group to work together they must be able to effectively communicate with each other.

Communication goes beyond sharing a common language. Two people may be English speakers but even without the language barrier, they may not be able to communicate with each other. There are so many fundamental principles that go into effective communication. This is why this type of exercises is normally vital in any given team.

There are many types of communication exercises all geared to help team members communicate with each other effectively. One such exercise is the “blind man and guide”. In this exercise, two teammates are forced to work with each other. They need to retrieve a certain object within the vicinity. However, one teammate has to do the retrieval while blind folded. The other teammate will then give directions to help them make the retrieval. The only way they can do this is by working together and communicating. If the guide becomes frustrated and starts yelling at the “blind man” this will bring about confusion and hinder their progress. On the other hand,” the blind man” will not succeed if he decides not to listen to the “guide”.

There are also communication exercises that involve interaction with all team members. You are supposed to mingle and bond with members and get to know them well. After this, you will be asked details about the team members. This normally tests listening skills and memory.

Trust and Interdependence Exercises

According to research, this is one of the most difficult exercises to administer. Naturally, people take time to build trust. Trying to get the team members to trust each other may be a hard task but still achievable. Trusting each other cements the relationship between the team. This helps them to work with each other well. It also makes an individual gain some sense of responsibility.

There are different exercises that can be used to build trust and interdependence. For instance, there is one exercise whereby the team players line up in two rows. The people on the first row normally have their backs to the others on the second row. Now without turning back, they are required to fall back letting their guard down. They should be able to trust that the team member standing behind them with catch them.

Problem Solving Exercises

The whole concept of these exercises is to test the team’s problem solving skills. You give them a problem to solve and watch every step that they make towards solving it. You will also get to see how well they will work together in order to solve it. This is a vital exercise because it can influence the success of any team .A team that can’t handle the task may crumble and fall under pressure. On the other hand, a team that can do this well will be able to go through any difficulties and come out victorious at the end.

Some of the problem solving exercises include, putting a big puzzle together. Every team member plays a role in ensuring that this is done. You may also present a problem to the team and just ask them to solve it. This can be anything that has to deal with their work. For instance, a customer care department team may be asked to play out a scene whereby there is an irritable customer threatening one of their staff members with violence. The staff member isn’t supposed to handle the situation alone. It is up to the team to come together with strategy to handle the current problem and put measures in place for handling similar issues in the future.

Decision Making Exercises

This is much similar to the problem solving exercises. It tests the team’s ability to make decisions together. In these exercises, the whole team is supposed to work together. It will not be upon the leader to come up with the next plan of action. These exercises are very important in any team. When a team makes good strong decisions together, they will be successful. However, a team that doesn’t involve all members in decision making may end up fostering resentment from the members who have been left out. It will also affect the quality of the decision since the best ones are the ones that are made by all members sharing ideas. On the other hand, total inability to make decisions will delay projects and can ultimately contribute to the failure of the whole team.

In such exercises, a team may be presented with a problem and about five different solution alternatives. They have to discuss these alternatives and decide on the best option for the whole team. Each group member should contribute as to why they believe that is the best option. They should also get to a point of either compromise or total agreement.
