ABSTRACT

Team-building is one of the most frequently used tools for developing teams in organizations. Yet, it is also frequently misunderstood and misused, primarily because most managers are unsure how to conduct it. In addition, teambuilding is often criticized for being nothing more than a “feel good” session that impedes the accomplishment of “real work.” The purpose of this paper will be to clear up these potential misunderstandings and better elucidate the nature of team-building.
