Team building

In Organizational development, whenever a team embarks upon a process of self-assessment in order to gauge its own effectiveness and thereby improve performance, it engages in team building.

Assessing team effectiveness

To assess itself, a team seeks feedback to find out both:

its current strengths as a team
its current weaknesses

Improving team performance

To improve its current performance, a team uses the feedback from the team assessment in order to:

identify any gap between the desired state and the actual state
design any gap closure strategy

Sometimes the term "team building" (or "teambuilding") refers to the process of establishing specific groups to accomplish certain tasks[?] in an organization. Among the ingredients that are critical to the successful set-up and launch of such team efforts are:

goals and objectives
timetables
metrics
training on how to work together

The morale of the team is an important variable and is often affected by such factors as:

support
resources
communication
personalities

As team performance reflects on management, managers should take part in constructing and fostering teams.
