I bet you're one of those smart people who prefer a real-world workshop over a "pretend" one, right? Real-world team-building does not subscribe to the idea that games, outdoor exercises, or social events are the most effective approaches. They can be a lot of fun, but they're not valid substitutes for getting real teamwork done because they are indirect and do not resolve the team's most pressing teamwork issues. They are pretend workshops. This approach has nothing to do with right brain behavior or right wing political philosophies. This teamwork approach is based on choices that, taken together, define your team's right-minded thought system. Stop. Make certain you understand this essential point. People often ask, "Who decides what is right?" The answer is simple: your team decides. Learn how to facilitate and incorporate these 9 choices in your team using straightforward exercises.
