Team Building: Creating High Performance Teams
A well constructed, high functioning team will always outweigh even the most talented individuals working alone. This was supported by Google’s Project Aristotle, a comprehensive study on team performance, revealing that team dynamics, not individual skills, determine a team's success. It included these three main findings:
Personality and individual skill sets (expertise) are less important than how the team communicates and interacts.
Dependability is one of the main factors that contributes to team success.
A culture of trust, respect, and openness is important, as well as letting everyone have a turn to speak.
Here at the Amazing Team Challenge, our Melbourne Amazing Race achieves just that, with a team building activity that pushes teams to work cohesively, communicate effectively and time manage all whilst sharing a joint sense of purpose. Forbes magazine discussed this in detail identifying 5 key ingredients for a high performance team, including; Psychological Safety, Shared Purpose And Goals, Complementary Skills, Mutual Accountability and Effective Communication. Our Melbourne Amazing Race does incorporates all these aspects, in a fun dynamic and engaging event. Get in touch today to see how we can help you with your team building needs.
