Team Building

Stage 1: Forming

How to quickly and effectively get all of your team members on the same page.

The first stage in this Team Building process is the forming stage. In this stage, we attempt to unite as a team by developing a razor sharp focus fixed squarely on Our Main Goal.

Many of us have heard manager give her/his views about what our main goal ought to be. You may take that with a grain of salt if you wish. Why? Because, the most important task in the forming stage of Team Building is for everyone in the organization to participate in the process of developing Our Main Goal as a team. Here are the three criteria that Our Main Goal must include:

1) Our Main Goal must be something that we have a strong desire to accomplish.

2) Our Main Goal must be a collaborative effort where everyone has a say, and

3) Our Main Goal must be directly related to the services we provide to our consumers.

In other words, Our Main Goal must include our best intentions to do "what's best for our consumer.
