The role of the administration in team building and development of an organisation

Team building is one of the most widely used group-development activities in organizations. Team building has been scientifically shown to positively affect team effectiveness.^[10] Goal setting and role clarification were shown to have impact on cognitive, affective, process and performance outcomes. Most teams go through several stages of development as part of their natural path of growth. At the initial stages of development, unclear objectives may create confusion, low morale, poor listening and a general lack of commitment. This emphasizes improving team members’ understanding of their own and others’ respective roles and duties. This is intended to reduce ambiguity and foster understanding of the importance of structure by activities aimed at defining and adjusting roles. We also help motivate the team members and build stronger working relationships between all individuals. This speeds up the normal development of the team, helps set it on the best course and brings it quickly to a stage of agreement, progress and clarity.
