Team Building for Managers Online Certificate Course – Outline

Module One: Getting Started

Module Two: What Are the Benefits of Team Building?

In this module, we will discuss the many benefits of team building for individual employees and the organization in general. You will learn how team building helps create a sense of cohesion, reinforce shared goals and values, and promote camaraderie.

Better Communication and Conflict Resolution

Team building improves communication. This is because communication is needed, especially when individual members are working towards a common goal, purpose, or vision.

Effectiveness

Team building helps create more effective teams. Shared activities help them develop skills in delegating tasks, collaborating, communication, and how to leverage the talents of each member.

Motivation

Having a sense of shared goals and values can be a powerful source of motivation. Team building activities help remind the team of the purpose of their work and how it contributes to the overall success of the team.

Camaraderie

One of the most potent benefits of team building is a sense of camaraderie. When everyone gets a better appreciation of the importance of each member, they get a better understanding of what it takes to be a team. Shared activities and experience forge better relationships between team members.

Module Three: Types of Team Building Activities

In this module, you will learn the different team-building activities and how to use these to develop your team. We will discuss how we could mix the various games, activities, and social events to create a team-building activity that is suited for different types of teams.

Games

Games bring a sense of fun to any team building activity. It helps open people to other activities while educating them at the same time.  Popular games used in team-building activities include:

• Icebreakers or “get to know you” games
• Shared task games
• Problem-solving games
• Interaction games

Activities

Group activities created for team building are also a popular option. These activities can be sourced from your training department. Any activities that require group engagement such as recreational activities, community services can be used to help team members get some time off from work and develop personal relationships.

Education

Training, development, and education also provide opportunities for team building. Learning together or training as a group can be considered a form of team-building activity.

Social Gatherings

Shared activities, even social gatherings, can be used for team building. This can be an excellent time where team members can build better relationships that they can bring to the workplace.

Module Four: Games

Studies have shown that play activities can be the best methods of teaching. Games can be beneficial for our mental and emotional health. 

Games for Introductions

Introductions are some of the best places to insert a game. Also referred to as “ice breakers,” games can be used to encourage people to think creatively and know their team members in a new way. Some ideas for ice breakers include:

• Three Truths and a Lie
• My Favorite
• Sort and Mingle

Games to Build Camaraderie

Games are a great way to build camaraderie while bringing an element of play to work. The key here is to find a game that includes everyone. Popular games used to build camaraderie include:

• Scavenger hunts
• Puzzles
• Timed challenges
• Binder clip tag and other “Office Olympics “games

Games for Problem-Solving

Problem-solving games provide fun while driving teams towards a common goal. It also challenges the team collectively. Requiring them to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Games to Stimulate Interaction

Some ice breaker games can be adapted to stimulate interaction, aside from just being used to introduce people to one another. Any game that requires people to work together can be used to encourage interaction.

Module Five: More Team Building Games

In this part of the Team Building for Managers course, we will look at the different benefits using games during team building. We will discuss how games can add an element of fun to work relationships, foster trust, motivate teams, build communication, and strengthen conflict resolution skills.

Games to Build Trust

The first thing that comes into mind for many when we talk about trust-building games is the classic activity where one person falls back and trusts the others to catch them. Similar games used for building trust include:

• Mine Field
• Eye Contact
• Willow in the Wind

Games to Motivate

Studies show that healthy competition can motivate teams towards a common goal. When selecting which game to use, choose one that incorporates the skills they use on the job.

Games to Build Communication

Games that build communication can help build trust, promote interaction, and camaraderie. Games could also be an ideal setting for testing new communication strategies. Some communication games worth trying includes:

• The Human Knot
• Listen to Me!
• Make a Team With

Games for Conflict Resolution

Just like games for communication, games for conflict resolution gives you a low-risk setting for testing new strategies. Resolving conflicts even through practice can produce friction among team members if not done correctly. Conflict resolution games include:

• Advocacy and Inquiry
• Like a Dog with a Bone
• I Statements

Module Six: More Team Building Activities

Activities provide an opportunity for teams to collectively practice skills, strengthen relationships, and interact on a deeper level. In this module, you will learn how team building activities can be used to motivate your team, improve teamwork, strengthen communication, conflict resolution, and create a greater sense of unity.

Activities to Motivate

Rewards are not the only way to motivate teams. Engaging in shared activities that allow team members to learn new skills, be contributors to the community can also be a great way of motivating the team.

Activities to Improve Working Together

Team building activities can help improve cooperation, collaboration, and other aspects of working together.

Activities to Build Communication

Games and formal training require teams to develop their communication skills to achieve their goals. This can be an excellent opportunity to test new training strategies outside the workplace.

Activities for Conflict Resolution

Activities that are designed to stimulate workplace conflicts provide an ideal setting to develop the team’s conflict resolution strategies. This can improve their negotiation skills that can be critical when resolving conflicts in the workplace.

Module Seven: Social Gatherings

In this module, we will discuss the role of social gatherings as another team building activity. However, this has its share of difficulties as some may find the time to attend a social gathering outside work hours. Activities in general that provide an opportunity for team members to gather in one place can be an opportunity for team building.

Singing/ Karaoke

Almost everybody loves to sing, and karaoke is a fun way of helping the team grow closer. It can also be an excellent way to get rid of stress, which can also be a cause of friction within the team.

Dinner/Potlucks

Sharing food as a method of bonding is a human universal. Simple activities, such as shared lunches and coffee breaks together, are a way to share and enjoy the company. You can also plan a dinner out or potluck dinners. The important thing is that this experience should be enjoyed by the team.

Meetings

Meetings aren't precisely high the list in terms of fun or social gatherings. However, this can be an excellent opportunity to insert team building activities since all members are present. To lighten the mood, include some snacks to make the meeting more fun.

Module Eight: Common Mistakes When Team Building

Even the best-planned team building activities are not immune to mistakes. In this module, we look into the common errors when team building. By being aware of these common mistakes, you could create better team building activities and quickly spot them to correct course.

Allowing Cliques to Develop

Team building is supposed to be a shared experience among all team members. Cliques develop when some participants set themselves apart from the group. Signs of these include:

• People only wanting to team or pair with each other
• The same groups or teams consistently forming
• The same person is consistently left out or left until last

Not Delegating Tasks

Failure to delegate tasks can undermine team building. Make it clear that delegating tasks is essential when working in groups.

Rewarding in Private/Criticizing in Public

Feedback is a critical element of team building. Pointing out mistakes should be done to help the team improve, but this should be done in private. Rewarding excellent performance must be done in public to inspire and motivate the team.

Disjointed Plans of Grandeur

The key to a successful team building plan is to make it useful and not complicated. Be sure to include training activities that are targeted towards your goal or objective.

Module Nine: Formatting a Team Building Plan

Like any other key initiative, team building needs a plan. In this module, we will discuss the importance of user input from your team, as well as your research. This is to keep your team informed of what's happening, what to expect, and what to do.

Define the Goal

The most important step when creating a team-building plan is to define the goal. Some common goals for team building include:

• Improved interpersonal communication
• Improved collaboration
• Higher morale
• Greater camaraderie
• Integration of new team members into an existing team
• Motivating the team

Consult Team Members

Your team members are the best source of information when planning team-building activities. This ensures that your team building activities are designed according to the needs of the team.

Research and Create Structure

Learn from the best from researching what industry leaders and colleagues are doing in terms of team building. Select which team building activities are possible and practical for you to do.

Keep it Fun

Don't forget to keep your team building activities fun. Keep your team engaged and reap the full benefits of team building by making it exciting and fun.
