Team Games versus Real-World Team-Building
Have you ever been to a team event and found yourself blindfolded spinning in circles or playing “Egg Drop” with your team and wondered what in the world was THIS accomplishing?
You thought, “How could this be a real team-building workshop?”
Well, the answer is: it accomplished nothing.
Games Do Not Build Teams
Playing team games or attending team social events will not build teamwork. It is silly and simply childish to think so. It is “pretend.”
They are called pretend because the people who support and carry out these activities have sincerely convinced themselves that their team’s performance would somehow improve if teammates played a game or attended a social.
Folks, that is pretend.
Do not misunderstand me; these are very good people, and their heart is in the right place. I love them dearly because they have stepped up to the plate to do their part to help their team. At their core, they’re not wrong.
They are only temporally out of their right mind with respect to effective team-building practices.
That’s why you and I need to show them a better way.
Use This Real-World Team-Building Process Instead
The better way is simply this.
Design your next team-building workshop in a real-world way or what we call the Right-Minded Teamwork way.
So how do I design a real-world team-building workshop, you ask? I have an answer.

Here is what three right-minded folks had to say about this course.
Roger Baker, former Anaheim Police Chief said…
“This course provided me with a rational, structured approach to identifying and achieving the true goals of a team-building workshop.”
Lydia Cole, Training Coordinator, and Capability Builder, at Ultra Electronics, said
“If I had to summarize the greatest benefit received, I would have to say awareness. It gave me an awareness of tools and processes to use to ensure I design the best possible workshops, that the participants know they have input to the design because they’ve been interviewed, that the desired outcomes are addressing the true root cause of whatever issues there are, and that the leader requesting the workshop is aligned to those desired outcomes.”
Devendra Gabhawala, Lead-Learning & Development at Enercon India Ltd
“All steps you gave are practical and implementable. I am grateful to you for providing such an invaluable training.”
