Finding a team building event for your department is always so tough. Each year a portion of your budget is dedicated to the improvement of your fellow co-workers and employees. As a manager, you have to pick an activity that will apply to ALL the various personalities and physical dynamics of those people that will be attending.
As the leader you want it be something revolutionary and inventive. You want them walking away without rolling their eyes, and feeling like it has been a complete waste of time. You want a sense of pride, togetherness and motivation to work more cohesively to achieve wonderful, magical things! You want profits to increase! You want upper-level management to recognize your amazing team-building efforts as a great sign of what a fantastic leader you are!
As you sit down to begin the task of finding the perfect company to bring this experience to your team, you begin scrolling through endless team building exercises. One has physical limitations that even you wouldn’t do. One might as well have a guy with a guitar and a campfire with everyone singing “Kumbayah”. You have in mind an experience that will give a lasting impression, not pit each other against one another.
Then, you see this new concept that combines individual performance with a collective team effort. No one is separated into teams. There are no winners or losers. The end value is as good as the sole person, and how they each work together. Everyone is smiling, and leaves with a lasting memory of what transpired that day. Is this real?!
Yes is absolutely is, and can be a reality for your group as well! Perhaps the best example of the evolution this is possible within your staff can be seen in the team building experience provided by Kansas City’s very own Apple Pie Painting. There are no physical limitations, even for the disabled. They bring the event straight to you, so no need to coordinate transportation for everyone.
Each person takes a painting with them as a reminder of the accomplishments of working as an individual, and how their role impacts the greater good of the team. Building creativity in those that might not otherwise ever step outside the box, and everyone is allowed the opportunity to laugh and share an amazing experience together, that truly unites everyone!
