When it comes to team work you will need it for most of your events. You will need to think about the teamwork first. You will have plenty of little details that must be completed, but can you put the most effect team together?  When it comes to choosing people to be on a team, you have to pick them for a reason other than personal. You need to know that they are able to make decisions and get things done. They have to be goal oriented, however, you should also think about the way that they can come together and find easy and quick solutions to any of the problems that may pop up.

First, when bringing a team together, you need to get them to bond. The way to get a team to bond is to give them a simple task and then watch how they work with each other. Some people will bump heads quickly and then some will come together and really focus on the task at hand. You should make sure that you pair the team so that they will work to your advantage. You should make sure that each person has something to bring to the table. When it comes to activities that will build team spirit, you may want to think about letting the group divide itself. Partners tend to work better when they are placed with others whom they wish to be with. This however, can also be the devil in disguise. Not only can this work to your advantage, but you may eventually have to separate them because they distract each other from the task at hand.

However, to build team bonding you need to make sure that you allow the teams to have most or complete control over things. You will find that if you add some competition in with the mix which of the groups will perform better. You can do this by setting the group into two smaller groups with the same task and then see which team can pull it through. Then you can get some feed back and see if you have someone ruining your perfect team equation. When you find out that there is someone ruining your team, you can either pull them from the project or give them smaller and insignificant tasks to seem like they are helping.

If you need a team to improve on their teambuilding skills, you will need to set them aside and tell them out you feel. You can let out that you are disappointed. This way you can motivate them to put things in gear, but you may need to talk to the group members about why they are falling behind and try to find a solution. Sometimes you will find that your teams will be ineffective because of one person and that may be the time to let someone go. However, if it is crunch time you need to get everyone working together successfully.

For the process of planning the event, you need to delegate activities or roles within the groups and then keep an open door. With the open door you are able to find out what is the trouble, where the trouble is coming from, and how to take the right measures. When you are trying to keep a team going you have to act as manager and sometimes you need to be touch and sometimes sympathetic.

As for the activities that you do to help build good team work, you can get creative with them, but make sure that your tests or tasks is apart of the bigger plan. This way you can get things done and the others can learn about the importance of teamwork.
