3. The origins of the team idea can be traced back to the late 1920s and early 1930s with the Hawthorne Studies. These were research activities looking intensively at the effects of various conditions on a group of workers. The researchers finally concurred that the most significant factor was the establishment of group identity, a feeling of social support and cohesion that came with increased worker interaction.

The group identity arose from the role of the manager (the main observer of the team), and his positive responses to the team's achievements, and each individual's achievements, and the ensuing increase in confidence from the team members, and consequent boost to productivity.

4.Team building means getting to know your colleagues and work-mates strengths and weaknesses, and utilising every individual within the team to their full potential. It really signifies the opposite of competitive attitudes in that there is no perceived "inner" from team building activities, but simply a combined goal.

5. No, it shouldn't - it should require a mixture of ability with a properly selected team consisting of people with a variety of aptitudes. Activities should make opportunities for these people to interact and learn from each other, thus extending their own horizons as well as enhancing the strength of the team.

6. Participants in a team building session should leave with a sense of achievement, and a closer working relationship with members of their team. The activity should enhance self-worth as well as motivating individuals to build stronger bonds and to value the contributions of their team-mates.

7. The organisation should benefit from the clarification of mission and vision for its employees, the establishment of team members' roles and responsibilities, efficient mechanisms for resolving conflict and an appreciation of differences in work styles and preferences.

8. To make team building effective team member selection is clearly very important. All too often team building is dismissed as the assembly of a group of individuals, calling them a team and telling them to get on with it. Team building means that members of the group either work well together out of common ground or that they complement each other in skills terms. Strong individuals need to understand and learn the skills that make effective team building possible. Many can work independently, but have to learn how to retain that individuality within the team building process. If they blend in too much, then the team loses some of its important creative essence, a little like the gene pool! If they dominate too much, the team fragments. Therefore, a good balance of members should be selected from the outset, to allow the developmental changes to take place, and the team to emerge.
