Wrote it yesterday after the team building workshop. Just to share with you: Had a wonderful team building exercise today, feeling exhausted, but still excited. Laying in bed at night, all the scenes rush through my head: some funny, some motivating, some thought-provoking, too. The experience allows us to learn to better in teams, how to commuicate better under time constraints, when to follow and/or lead, how to make my own contribution to the overall team goal. Our team had some early failures: we failed two of the first two of the four exercises in the morning. But the team members really take time to reflect on what went wrong and what can potentially be improved. We voiced our thoughts and agreed on what we should do next, to avoid repeating the same mistakes. AND, our strategy works!! We are the winning team!!! My heart-felt thanks to all my team members, who help to make this wonderful experience for all of us. although in real world, people are not as motivated and concern free, as in this simulated team environment, we can always have some take-aways, either in terms of factors of effective team-work, or in enhanced understanding of ourselves in terms of our styles and potential inadequacies. good experience indeed. |
