There ought to be mutual respect and trust verified amongst staff and management before the team reaches its full potential. These values come from the family unit. There are disciplinary measures amongst a family but this is after love has been verified. After all, under such bad conditions why would staff be afraid to lose their job?
Team exercises that build up
Here are two helpful exercises to improve working relationships that can be adapted for many different needs. The first game is an experiment in isolation that educates an illustrative point, by exposing a member to the feeling of victimisation and staff rejection. Each team is asked to nominate a person to be the victim of the scenario, who ought to be exiled from the team while the others stare and deride the victim. The latter ought to only be done for adults, and ought to be done carefully, with only restricted criticism for illustrative purposes. In fact, it is best to nominate the team leader or the most confident person on the team, as you don't want to expose vulnerable members to victimisation. The game ends with a team discussion of how the victim felt being exiled and criticised by the team and hopefully a group appreciation session to demonstrate that there are no hard feelings. This game teaches the value of constructive human interaction relating to equality laws, diversity and harassment.
Another game to try
Another game dealing with intuition, can aid to improve working relationships in a constructive manner. Intuitive feelings are an vital factor in determining human relationships, although they are not always identified. The game sees the team being split into two sides, one half being the ones watched (that is facing the wall, and not able to see the other team) and the other side acting as the watchers, (who stand together several feet away from the watched). The watcher staff decide amongst themselves which person on the other team to stare at and exercises proceed from there, with rotations and timings up to the trainer's discretion.
In the review portion, persons from the watched team reveal if they had any intuitive feelings as to when they were being stared at. More significantly discuss the feelings of both the watchers and watched, relating to the discomfort or advantage that they may have felt. This game will naturally lend itself to debate and discussion. It will also demonstrate the point of equality and discrimination, as being watched for critical reasons can be an unpleasant experience. Discussing these feelings is a progressive form of team building.
Relationships ought to be preserved if at all possible. This leads to more trust between members and management, and in the end, better team work.
