How to Teambuild for the Future
Women's Leadership Institute for Women's Leadership

December, 2000

Teambuilding is a process not an event. The table outlines the awareness needed and possible actions to take to improve individual contributions to a high performing team.

Hopefully it will give you some guidelines on the role you prefer to play within the team. Assess which characteristics are clearly you, then try some of the suggested actions to see if they can help the team as a whole.

Of course this is just part of the picture, every other team member should examine their preferences in a similar way and adjust their behaviors to contribute to the team.

The future team will need to have a greater awareness of the psychological impact each team member will have on each other. This means:
Recognizing your own preferences
Understanding the preferences of others

The actions to consider are not just to tolerate other people's differences, but to 'treasure' them to the extent that they add real value to you and your team.
