Success in any organization today rests heavily upon how well its teams perform. A champion team will usually beat a team of champions – but how do you create a champion team? Effective teams do not simply “happen”. They have to be built. Usually the team exists around a common purpose or goal in the way that it works or performs. The team also has to see itself as (and behave like) a team by meeting and sharing experiences regularly. Team-building can be applied to an old or new team, a temporary or a permanent team, or even a team formed specifically to achieve one simple goal in a very short time-frame. In every case, the team needs to be built step-by-step.
