Self Empowerment Through Team Building Tips

By Robert Hamilton


The principle of nature is that no man can achieve much alone yet no team can achieve anything without contributions from individuals. The strength of any organization or business lies in tapping into the strength of individuals. This is the idea behind self empowerment through team building. As complex or strange as this idea appears, how can you achieve it at personal or business level?

Create new ideas in the minds of participants. Building teams always appears like a difficult task because of the divide between bosses and their juniors. There are people who are known to lead teams and always be trusted in an organization. However, a team will only be built if protocols and existing structures are broken. Build new ideas in the minds of people that it is possible to do things differently. You will empower people who were previously not thought to be powerful.

Engage in activities that help participants to build trust. A lot of workers lack confidence in their ability because they have not been trusted. The activities you prepare should help bosses and colleagues to learn how to trust each other. Once they return to work, each views the other as having greater potential.

Organize activities that show the power of supporting each other. Organizations and businesses have trends of competition and boss-worker terrain. A lot of the workers can do more but they are rarely supported. They fail to make contributions when decisions are being taken or remain with excellent ideas because they lack support. Look for activities that would make participants to feel like their efforts are complementing each other.

Develop a system of recognizing, encouraging and rewarding achievers. Everyone starts through a job description. Beyond that, new skills and ideas will emerge. How do you nurture these ideas and skills so that they help your organization to grow? Persons who feel that they are not recognized by an organization will always move one. The reward system should be fair and also offer commensurate reward. It is this encouragement that makes people to develop new ideas and share them with your organization.

Create a positive spirit for individuals and the entire organization. This is difficult especially when negative things have to happen. Leaders must provide guidance and make effort to keep everyone on the positive lane.

Teach participants on the benefits of working together or collaborating. The bigger goals can only be achieved when the contribution of everyone counts. The urgency to appreciate individual contributions is very important. It helps you deliver faster. You will use fewer resources, time and still achieve more if you collaborate.

Empowering individuals results in a strong and more capable group. While the activity targets the group, there must be lessons and activities for individuals. There would be no strong group if the members of this group are not empowered enough.
