Team Development Activities

To develop a great team and teammates, it is important to create signage and make it visible to everyone. Encourage employees to acknowledge each other as great teammates and write down specific actions that support the team's definition. Additionally, ask them to commit to taking actions in the next two weeks to support the team's definition. These activities are simple but essential for team development. It is crucial to maintain the definitions and keep employees informed about the actions they need to take to support the team's goals. When it comes to great team development and great teammates, one of the healthiest things you can do once you have your definitions is to create signage, write it up on a whiteboard, help it become visible to people in person as well as digitally. Then what you can do as an activity, maybe once a month, maybe once every two months, is to say, let's look back at our definition. Who would like to acknowledge somebody as being a great teammate? You get your employees talking positively about each other. Number two, everybody write down on a note card one thing that they've specifically done that supports our definition. It gets people to self-actualize, to look down at the note card and say, yeah, I'm doing this. Then number three, ask people, what's a commitment over the next two weeks that you're going to take a specific action to support our definition? See, the activities can be very simple and to always create a strong fiber of team development, you have to keep those definitions and you have to keep them apprised of the actions they need to take to support the definitions of a great team and a great teammate.
