In this podcast, we address common queries about team building, providing practical examples and sharing insights from research on high-performing teams. We outline several team-building activities with specific focuses such as learning, collaboration, fun, connection, trust, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and goal setting.
Activities include watching and discussing a TED Talk, conducting the Spaghetti Challenge, cooking together, using the 'This Is Me' template for bonding, sharing significant personal items to build trust, engaging in problem-solving simulations, practising difficult conversations, and setting team goals using the SMART acronym.
These activities are designed to be low-cost and can be adapted for both face-to-face and virtual settings.
