The Secret To Self Empowerment Through Team Building

By Robert Hamilton


It is a fact that success requires the input of an individual and the working of a team. There is no way to separate individuals from a team or eliminate teamwork from the life of individuals and still achieve success. This is why experts have advanced the idea of self empowerment through team building. How can this be achieved?

Develop activities that implant new ideas into the minds of people. One of the ideas to dismantle is that success lies in a boss-servant relationship. Bosses must feel as complements of the workers and workers as participants in the overall success of an organization. Prepare participants to embrace new ideas and ways of doing things. This creates a new mindset that will be felt in all your activities in future. This will open a path for workers to make suggestions that will drive the organization to new heights.

Use activities organized to help participants to build trust in each other. It is common for workers to either fear or fail to trust others on purpose. Unless there is trust that a boss can deliver and junior can step-in when the need arises, it will be impossible for the organization to achieve harmony and work towards a common goal. Trust also helps you to examine the potential of all individuals and workers in your organization.

Participants must get lessons on the power of support. Juniors lack support by being ignored or engaged whenever new projects are being implemented. Some have skills that are never considered important in achievement of overall goals. Lack of support causes many of them to withdraw and fail to make contributions. They end up working below their capacities. The potential of a lot of employees and the entire organization is lost.

Recognize, encourage and reward people during the event as well as beyond. Building a team starts with a singular objective, but it is the contributions of individual participants that matter. Recognize people with talents or special skills and affirm their possible contribution. Those who have been extraordinary at work or during the event should be awarded. It encourages them to go an extra mile.

Maintain a positive spirit and outlook for the entire organization. A lot of negative things happen for organizations and are inevitable. The comments made and actions taken will determine the impact these occurrences have over the organization. It requires the guidance of leaders and continuous effort to maintain this positivity.

Participants must be schooled on the need to collaborate or work together. Everyone has a contribution to make that would be impossible if everyone worked alone. Despite each having a unique job description, partnering is crucial. There should be an urgency to join effort and achieve a common goal. Collaboration enables an organization to achieve more, work faster and use fewer resources.

Individuals who are empowered will create organizations that are powerful. Though team building events are meant for the entire organization, there are vital lessons to be learnt for individuals. If individuals are not empowered in an organization, its foundations are weak and will not deliver success.
