Is team building really useful?
Don’t get me wrong having a “team” feel like a Team (not A Team) to each other makes perfect sense, but why is that every organization is looking for a follow the book solution? Teams get built with you or without you. They can build against you if you are not careful! Clear cut lines between rank and file don’t really work in the modern economy with the rank being able to add a lot of value to work. Be honest to the guys and girls, have an honest down to earth conversation from time to time and ask for their opinions. When I say ask for their opinions I don’t mean just put it in some file and throw it away, think about it, give them feedback and let them know they are valued.
This is what got me thinking.
