Looking for forging team spirit? Try these simple team building activities
Any organization, irrespective of scale and brand, needs one essential component:
Teamwork. While it takes effort to form a formidable team; it is equally difficult to keep the team spirit going. Many times ridiculously simple team building activities can lead to good results.
A prominent media company in Delhi was facing issues despite having a brilliant team. That’s when the Head of Sales, decided to do some team building activities in Delhi.
The catch was however not letting out the underlying objective of these team-building activities. One morning, all the team members in Delhi got an email about a weekend trip to a resort.
The team building activities started with division into sub-teams mainly comprising of individuals who had issues with each other. The carrot was the announcement by the CEO that the winning team would get a special incentive.
Mystery Box: In the first activity each team was given a set of clues and they had to crack them to locate the Mystery box, hidden somewhere in the resort. This had the team members communicate and discuss fervently.
Motorcycle Relay: The next activity was a motorcycle relay race, where during every change the team members had to change to a new set of tires. Again, team members had to work in tandem to keep track of routes, ensure a speedy change of tires in minimum time.
After these team-building exercises in Delhi, the team got a ground understanding of team spirit. In due course, the company got to see the effect in its market share.
