2. 7 Important Insights
You Must Know about
Team Building in
Sydney

4. The success of a business or
organisation often lies on the people
behind it. If you have a team of
motivated and talented employees
working towards a common goal,
you can achieve almost anything.

5. This is why team building in
Sydney is essential to the
growth and development of
your company. Here are some
insights on building, engaging,
and motivating a winning team.

6. Team building does work
A study published on the Small
Group Research journal showed that
team building activities do work.
However,

7. for them to have a positive
effect on team performance,
they should not be invasive,
awkward, or forced. When you
organise these activities, you
must never make the mistake of
mixing your staff’s personal
and work life.

8. There are creative ways to
encourage your workers to
bond
Apart from the usual team
building activities, there are other
ways for your employees to bond
and discover their hidden talents.

9. You can try volunteering, field
trips, or shared meals. Another
way to motivate your team is to
give them workshops, which
can help them learn new things.

10. Non-work communication is
important
According to a study by
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology’s Human Dynamic
Laboratory, how well the team
communicates during informal
meetings can contribute to their
success.

11. This means that while it isn’t
necessary for your employees to
be the best of friends outside of
work, them having excellent
rapport with each other will make
a positive impact on the
organisation as a whole.

12. Star employees are not as
independent as you think
they are
“Rock star” employees, or those
oozing with natural talent, may
not work as effectively if you
take them out of their team.

13. A study conducted by Harvard
University showed that heart
surgeons perform better when
they are able to consistently work
with the same people. This
basically means that no matter
how talented an individual is,
teamwork still has an impact on
his or her performance.

14. Remote teams can do better
than in-house teams
If you’re considering phasing out
your remote team, you should
think twice about your decision. It
turns out that remote teams can
outperform local teams.

15. An MIT study in 2009 revealed
that virtual teams working for
software companies can
outperform local teams as long
as they have the proper tools
and systems in place.

16. In-person brainstorming may
not be that effective
If you want your team to churn out
innovative ideas, don’t let them
brainstorm in groups because
various studies have shown that in-
person brainstorming actually
discourages people from pitching
in their ideas.

17. Instead, you should try
electronic brainwriting. This
practice basically allows your
team to exchange ideas through
a chart program, helping them
avoid the problems that often
come with in-person
brainstorming.

18. Each team needs an analytical
thinker
A study from Carnegie Mellon
University suggests that for a team
to be successful, it must have an
analytical thinker. According to the
study, the analytical thinker
balances the big-picture strategist in
the

19. team. He or she does this by
identifying and focusing on the
“little details” needed to achieve a
particular goal. If you’re going to
liken the situation to the Sydney
Amazing Race, the analytical
thinker is the one who takes care
of a particular task to ensure that
his or her team will win the race.
