Team Building Team Building

This document provides information on building effective teams and includes suggestions for team-building activities. It discusses that good teams define problems before solutions, have structure with defined roles, and encourage new ideas. The first step in team building is getting to know each other, and activities or games can facilitate this. Three activities are described: unique introductions where partners share a secret; finding commonalities by dividing into smaller groups; and a "who am I" activity where bios are read anonymously to be guessed. Resources for additional team-building activities are also listed.
