11 Signs Your Business Needs Teambuilding
Teambuilding used to be a fluffy, nice-to-do activity that only large companies could afford.
Now it’s a competitive advantage, especially for small and mid-size companies. Business owners who pay attention to teambuilding get teams who are committed—and committed team members stick around longer and get more done in less time at less cost.
Without good teamwork, the work takes longer, there are more mistakes, and it costs you more money. Worse, morale and productivity are low and employees leave.
If you have an employee (or two) doing any of these things, it could be a sign that you and your company would benefit from some deliberate and thoughtful teambuilding:
Stirs the pot
Does barely enough work to keep his/er job
Is often sullen or uncooperative
Doesn’t know what other employees are doing
Doesn’t trust other employees; when Bob in Sales hands his customer off to Sue in Operations, he doesn’t trust that Sue will take good care of the customer
Is regularly disrespectful or rude
Unwilling to resolve conflict
Produces sloppy work; has little sense of accountability
Has trouble getting on the same page, often challenges, debates, or
argues

“…teamwork remains the one sustainable competitive advantage that’s been largely untapped. [It’s] almost always lacking within organizations that fail and often present within those that succeed.”. - Patrick Lencioni
