e-Book: Bring Teams Together, Team Building and Team Retreat Resource Book
Includes the 102 page .pdf downloadable e-Book: Bring Teams Together, Team Building and Team Retreat Resource Book written by Mike Welch.
Bring Teams Together is a Team Building and Team Retreat Resource Book that is designed to give coaches and leaders tools and resources to create an effective team building and team retreat program. It begins with two educational sections, Team Building Concepts and Team Retreat Concepts. These sections are followed with resource sections to help expand your team building program.
The Team Building Concepts section includes useful information to help plan and develop a program for your group. This section takes an in depth look at the foundations of team building, focusing on developing a dream and establishing a positive culture within your team. This section will also discuss the art of story telling as a method to create memorable metaphors. Team Building Concepts will outline the process of briefing and debriefing team building activities. There is useful information for constructing and directing metaphors, as well as using reflection resources as a doorway to the learning process. A method to sequencing the journey with team building will be discussed. Finally, facilitator responsibilities will be reviewed, including evaluating the level of readiness and safety issues.
The Team Retreat Concepts section discusses how a team retreat can be a great opportunity to accelerate growth for a group. It presents considerations for planning a team retreat. Key elements for conducting a successful team retreat are detailed, including creating an atmosphere, setting specific goals, and sequencing. The section also takes a look at developing themes and metaphors for a team retreat.
The Team Building Resources section includes activities and an equipment checklist for mobile initiatives. There is a list of reflection resources to assist a facilitator in creative debriefing methods. A large portion of this section is devoted to team building initiatives, which is organized by categories and phases for proper sequencing. The first initiatives are ice breakers, which are community and culture builders that help the group to get to know and feel comfortable around each other. Next are communication initiatives, which foster communication skills. Following in the sequence are trust initiatives. After trust is developed, the initiatives focus on learning how to face challenges and become effective problem solvers. Finally, transfer and celebration initiatives assist teams with taking a closer look at the growth of the group, evaluating their future direction and celebrating its accomplishments.
The Team Retreat Resources section contains descriptions and outlines of sample team retreats and themes. This section gives you creative ideas in developing your own team retreat. A team retreat can be created with various lengths of time ranging from a single session to multiple day retreats. The retreat can also have an ongoing theme that continues over time, creating doorways to discovery throughout the journey.
