A Game on Team-building
Introduction to Teams Teams are groups of two or more people who interact and influence each other, are mutually accountable for achieving common goals associated with organizational objectives and perceive themselves as a social entity within an organization. All teams are groups because they consist of people with unifying relationships but not all groups are teams, some groups are just people assembled together without any focused objective. Team effectiveness is the extent to which a team achieves its objectives. Purpose of the Game The purpose of the game is to teach the team development process.
Instructions for Playing the Game The game is played with three baskets and three lemons. The baskets are kept at a distance of 5 feet, 10 feet and 15 feet respectively. A lemon has to be thrown into any of the baskets of their own choice to achieve the target set by the respective group which should not be less than a score of 100. Each team is provided with 10 opportunities to put the lemons in the baskets of their choice. Once all the chances are exhausted, the team score will be calculated. The team which scores closest to the set target will be declared the winner.
An Overview of the Exercise
The game that has just been concluded was conducted with the purpose of deriving an idea of the various stages of a team building process. The Five stages are: 1. Forming The first stage is characterized by much uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure and leadership. 2. Storming The second stage is characterized by inter-group conflict. There is conflict over who will control the group and the stage is complete when there is a relatively clear hierarchy of leadership within the group. 3. Norming This stage is characterized by close relationship and cohesiveness. 4. Performing The fourth stage is when the group is fully functional. 4. Adjourning The final stage is characterized by the wrapping up of activities. The team development model is a useful framework for how teams develop. At the same time we must keep in mind that it is not a perfect representation of the dynamics development.
