Successful Teambuilding Session?

Have you ever headed out to attend, much less plan, an all day teambuilding outing with just a little dread in your heart? I know I have. Here were some of the questions/thoughts bouncing around in my head…Why do we have to do this? I’m sure I could find better use for my time than this! I don’t even like him/her, why do I have to pretend I do? And my favorite…This is going to be really lame and they’re going to blame me!

While those may have been the thoughts going in, I always came out the other side thankful for the process. I now look forward to the opportunities to build our team. What about you? Do you dread planning teambuilding exercises? Or, do you embrace them?

While you’re thinking about it, here’s a little cartoon I came across the other day. Would you call this a successful teambuilding session???
