Why should you invest End-of-Year budget in teambuilding?
Being more honest in your communication is reason enough for an in-person offsite. Why? The results are obvious: because honest communication creates high functioning teams. How?
Really high-functioning teams can work through conflict and manage conflict effectively. High-functioning teams work well together.
They leverage diversity of strengths and values, so it’s important to know what those values are and how they are different among the team members.
Many people make sense of dynamics but can’t understand why things may not be working. Coming together and speaking honestly may reveal what’s really going on.
Imagine if you left an offsite with a playbook or instruction manual for how to interact with each other. Imagine if you heard from a colleague how they wanted to be called out, what their go-to defenses are or the dysfunction to look out for? How much of a difference would that make for your future interactions with them?
If these things speak to you, then prioritize effective & honest communication training in your next offsite.
