The Secret To Self Empowerment Through Team Building

By Robert Hamilton


It is said that no man is an island. This works at personal level and in businesses. A business will only be strong and profitable if the potential of individual members is tapped. There are ideas that enable self empowerment through team building for persona and organization benefit. Here are some of the ideas you can explore.

Find activities that will change the mindset of people by implanting new ideas. Organizations operate on a default plate that consists of bosses and juniors. This should be the first idea to dismantle if it is hindering success. Juniors must not see bosses as burdens while bosses must not lord over juniors. Develop new ideas of collaboration and ways of doing things. Without breaking traditions, new ideas should be injected. This breath of new life empowers individuals and contributes to a stronger organization.

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.

Teach participants on the benefits of working together or collaborating. The bigger goals can only be achieved when the contribution of everyone counts. The urgency to appreciate individual contributions is very important. It helps you deliver faster. You will use fewer resources, time and still achieve more if you collaborate.

A powerful organization can only be achieved if individuals are empowered. Make effort to teach individuals on the need to become a part of a team working towards common goals. After all, teams are made by individuals and their strength determines that of the entire organization.
