Great Teams Make Things Happen:
By changing attitudes and behaviour towards the people that work in an organisation, you can empower them and create great teams, and it's these great teams that make more happen for a company than anything else.
By focusing more on the person rather than the job they are doing helps create great teams. By getting the focus right on the person, the jobs they are tasked with will just happen.
Employees working together, for each other in a team is a huge resource for any company. They are more important than the individual skills they possess, the processes they follow and the policies of the organisation. They become part of a great team when the team as a whole decides to do something for themselves, not by being told they must do it but because they have decided this is what needs to be done and by achieving this goal they will make a difference.
Team building:
There are many team building exercises that can be done, ranging from expensive team days out to inexpensive drinks after work. This article looks at using a quiz night as a team building exercise
Why Choose a Quiz Night?
Choosing a quiz night for a team building event could be a good idea and here's why.
It's inexpensive. You can create your own quiz if you have the time and inclination, or you could buy a quiz pack for a couple of pounds online. You may wish to charge a fee for entering which could also cover costs of a few beers or pizza.
Secondly, it can be done any time with not much planning. A few hours after work should suffice, and you may be able to host it in the office canteen or down the local pub (you may even be able to convince the landlord to give the winners a free drink since you will generate him some more punters for the night!).
Thirdly and most importantly people will have to work together and pull in the same direction in order to win the quiz. Without even knowing what they are doing all of a sudden they are giving opinions on answers, joking with collegues they perhaps wouldn't usually talk with and reasoning together with the common goal of getting the answers right.
They can also be used in the wider organisation context. I've been to corporate quiz nights where there is a condition that you can only have two members of the same business function in your quiz team, therefore ensuring that people across the business meet each other and are almost forced (in a non-forceful way!) to interact and find out what they do.
Benefits:
Bringing business functions closer together on a personal level can help bring transparency across the organisation and that can only be a good thing.
The bottom line is people get to know each other, and once they know each other it makes it easier to work with them, they are more likely to want to help them and companies become great. After all, it's the people that make a company great.
