Workshop – Teamwork
Building Stronger Connections: Enhancing Collaboration through Effective Teamwork
“Forming a team is just the beginning, staying together is progress, working together is success!”
– A. Carnagie
Recently, our company organized an intensive workshop on “teamwork.” The event was not just a team-building exercise but also an excellent opportunity to understand the fundamental difference between a group and a team and how this distinction affects performance in the workplace.
The workshop began with an introductory session, where David, our facilitator, highlighted the significant difference between the concept of a group and that of a team. It was a great moment to reiterate our fundamental values of collaboration and mutual respect, which define us as a team.
Learning through Practice
The most captivating part was the practical one, where we had to respond to the challenge of completing a personality test designed to help us identify our behavioral tendencies. The exercise became truly challenging when we used empathy to identify the personality type (out of the 4 that formed the basis of the test) of at least 3 colleagues participating in the workshop.
The exercise highlighted how important it is to understand personality aspects in forming a group, affirming the role of the leader, and the impact this has on transforming a group into a team.
