Team Building with Pinnacle Leadership Solutions is not the fluffy “everyone hold hands and sings Kumbaya.” We understand the necessity and complexity of effective team building, not only the theory of the four stages of team building but also how to incorporate that into meaningful activities that have a lasting impact when your team returns to their desk.

Pinnacle Leadership Solutions can address any and all facets of teambuilding from new team formation, addressing internal conflict within the team, leading teams to a common goal or through change, team problem solving, and team facilitation skills. We also have experience when dealing with virtual teams whose members are in geographically distant offices.

All of our teambuilding activities are fun, but we also include powerful debriefs so that everyone understands the deeper take-aways from our play with purpose. Let us know what your teambuilding issues are and we will build a program for you. Some of the major competencies that we can include into our activities are communication, collaboration and team work, problem solving and decision making, managing change, leadership, and strategic planning.

Benefits of Teambuilding

Over the past several decades, management theory has evolved from the promotion of competitive work environments to the development of cooperative ones. As part of this evolution, businesses have put an ever-increasing emphasis on team building. Teambuilding activities, whether they are five-minute games or week-long retreats, teach essential collaborative skills while helping employees develop trust in each other and each other’s abilities.

Improve Productivity
Teambuilding programs often give employees the opportunity to identify ways to improve processes, policies or procedures that have inhibited productivity. As employees learn to work together more effectively, they are able to do their work more efficiently.
Increase Motivation
Teambuilding programs can increase employee motivation in several ways, such as: building confidence and motivation, demonstrating that the business is willing to invest in employee success, and help to establish trust.
Foster Problem Solving
Through teambuilding and problem solving activities, members gain skills that let them identify barriers to accomplishing goals and come up with ways to overcome those barriers. Teambuilding programs can give employees structured ways to solve problems together while making each aware of the resources that each team member brings to the workplace.
Encourage Creativity
Teambuilding programs take employees out of their usual environment and give them an out-of-the-ordinary task to perform. This environment often gives permission for employees to be more creative and to use their imagination to accomplish the tasks set before them.
