1 What are team building gaps?

Team building gaps are the areas where your team's performance, communication, or cohesion falls short of your expectations or objectives. They can be caused by various factors, such as lack of trust, unclear roles, conflicting priorities, poor feedback, or insufficient recognition. Team building gaps can affect your team's morale, productivity, and quality of work, as well as your relationship with your team members.

Expectations for your team must be set allowing them to hold themselves accountable for their particular tasks. Each team member has to feel that they are part of something bigger and that they are directly contributing to the success of the organization. This builds morale and open lines of communication throughout the organization. If your team is falling short of your expectations, you need to look inward to find the solution. Recognize your team when they are successful and constructively challenge them for solutions when things go wrong.

The best teams share 3 attributes Imagine these three as a Venn diagram. First they support each other, which means they have each others backs. Second, they celebrate each other for who they are and the contributions they make to the team. Third, they challenge each other by setting clear expectations and holding each other accountable. To be effective at challenging each other, teams first need to consistently behave in ways that support and celebrate each other. When that has happened, team members have earned the right to challenge each other.

2 How to identify team building gaps?

To identify team building gaps, you need to gather data and feedback from multiple sources, such as your own observations, team surveys, performance reviews, or customer feedback. You can use a simple framework to organize and analyze the data, such as the SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It helps you to identify the internal and external factors that affect your team's performance and potential.

To identify gaps in the cohesiveness of your team, you need to be a hands-on leader/manager. Make sure that the team understands how to resolve conflict amicably, and without escalation. Let everyone in the team understand how to give feedback without making it a critique. Make sure that everyone knows how celebrate each success - whether individual or team. Despite all these, your red flags to identify the gaps are: 1. Escalations within the team to resolve issues 2. Diminished participation during meetings 3. Formation of small cliques within the team 4. "She said/He said/They said" situations of one-upmanship

3 How to prioritize team building gaps?

Once you have identified the team building gaps, you need to prioritize them according to their impact and urgency. You can use a matrix to rank the gaps based on two criteria: how important they are for your team's success, and how easy they are to address. For example, you can use the following categories: quick wins, major projects, fill-ins, and thankless tasks. Quick wins are the gaps that are important and easy to address, such as improving team recognition or communication. Major projects are the gaps that are important but hard to address, such as developing new skills or resolving conflicts. Fill-ins are the gaps that are not important but easy to address, such as updating team policies or procedures. Thankless tasks are the gaps that are not important and hard to address, such as dealing with bureaucracy or compliance issues.

4 How to plan team building activities?

Once you have prioritized the team building gaps, you need to plan team building activities that target them effectively. You can use a SMART goal setting technique to define the objectives, actions, and outcomes of each activity. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. It helps you to create clear and realistic goals that align with your team's needs and expectations. For example, if your goal is to improve team trust, you can plan a specific activity that involves sharing personal stories, measure the level of trust before and after the activity, make sure the activity is achievable and relevant for your team, and set a time limit for the activity.

6 How to evaluate team building activities?

Once you have implemented team building activities, it's important to evaluate their effectiveness and impact. Collecting and analyzing data and feedback from your team members can be done with a simple feedback form. Questions on the form may include how the team member felt about the activity, what they learned, how they will apply it to their work, what they liked or disliked about it, how it can be improved for the future, and how they rate it on a scale of 1 to 10. Evaluating the team building activities allows you to measure their outcomes, identify strengths and weaknesses , and make adjustments or improvements for the next time.
