Team Building - Today's Jargon

Teams, groups, We, Together—simply say it in any business and everyone agrees to it, explaining the importance of team-building. But today people in the organizations have forgotten themselves.There’s no mention of ‘I’ and ‘me’ in the team we work with. “Team work” is it jargon of the day??

Don’t take me otherwise: we all believe in teams as it is the concept of developing faster. But amidst all these, there lies a major hurdle. The concept of team is talked everywhere but the flaw is we like to be surrounded by people who are very much like us—especially in the fields of innovation and brainstorming events.

Today many of us simply nod our heads to the ideas generated by a well balanced team, where other members are good in executing the plan of actions and getting things done smoothly. But this wouldn’t have been the case if we were the ones to come up with our ideas. Then the scene would have been totally different. As the traditional mode of creativity would bind us to be honest to ourselves about the way the idea is carried out.

What is rare is the individual with the experience, drive, and commitment to take ideas and execute them well. Today not only brands are getting commoditized but also the ideas. The order and managing skills of a manager in an organization doesn’t stifle creativity rather enhances it. The intricacy faced by an individual is to melt down completely in the team. If the team can refer itself as “I” it means the execution of ideas is in its high flow. Hence, with each successful “I” in a team can lead to a successful “We”.
