An effective team-building exercise challenges you to ask yourselves difficult questions

 

Many organisations run team-building exercises like a chore, or people attend just for the joy of escaping work for a day. Truly effective team-building sets a clear goal and forces you to think deep about what it means to be a team and what you need to do to become a better team. It is MORE work than your day-to-day work. When you make good use of team-building, it transforms your organisation, starting with what you do differently on Monday. 

Over the weekend, I had the honour of conducting a team-building event together with Captain Fuaad from VUCA Warriors. It was an inspiring and energising experience working with the Arcadia team. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!
