Mr Smith Mose, Administrator at Kenya Wildlife Service, highlighted that cooperation and understanding are the key team building recipes.
Instances where production was the soul purpose for management, the employees got bored of the repetitive tasks, therefore , more to production is ensuring the social needs of the employees are met whilst at work. This causes better production and a fulfillment to the employees as well.
A well formed cooperation of people with like-minded purpose will make a better team thus making an improved production. The process of team building is summarized through the steps :
- Storming – this is when the group members have an average will to participate fully in the team. There are limited communications with minimal participation from the team members.
- Norming – this is when the group members have accepted the tasks they are to perform together. They set some ground rules.
- Performing – team members have a gained insight into personal and team process with a better understanding of others weaknesses and strengths.
