Train Your Team to Not Suck | Atlanta Team Building

As a business owner, manager or human resources professional, one of your hardest jobs is hiring people to make a company run. No, wait: you don’t want a business to simply run (just about any warm body can do that!), you need to hire people who can make your company win.

Team building and training is the potent solution for developing a team that rocks. It ensures that a team’s default behaviors don’t lead to suckage.

The challenges of hiring reliable people are tough enough. Add to that the process of hiring several people to form a functionally aligned team, and THAT is a challenge. Somehow, you’re supposed to get those different people and personalities to work together – and work with you – to achieve greatness.  Focusing solely on building your team in Atlanta or wherever you are (it is more cost effective to hire locally), you’ve probably met all types coming for an interview. Then once hired, you have to ensure each individual can roll with the team and align to get the work done – better than the competition – THAT can be exhausting.

That exhaustion part is the main reason a team may not ever reach its potential (or why a team might just suck). Because of the massive effort, energy and angst that it takes just to hire and onboard people to build a business team, it’s easy to give up on development of these people and accept less than stellar results. Too many organizations feel that if people are at least getting the job done and the place doesn’t burn down… well, good enough for now.

Don’t settle for a team that is merely good enough. Not in today’s market in Atlanta!

That’s why team building is essential, despite the stress you may feel. It lets you take a break, and lets our experts develop your team into what it really can be: a skilled, high performance machine of excellence. Think of it as “unsuckable” insurance.

Here are the core skills your Atlanta team needs to develop, that most teams (and individuals) just don’t have:

1. Communication coordination. Communication isn’t just talking or sending an e-mail, it is actively listening, engaging with others and creating highly coordinated and successful action towards your goals, without assumptions or guesses.
2. Keeping up the collaboration. A team doesn’t just stop playing in the middle of a game if things get tough. Train your team to double down, count on (and support) each other, innovate and continue collaboration to the finish line, especially when things are challenging.
3. Be responsible and accountable. Each member has a job, task or role that’s their responsibility, requiring effective accountability and real support from other team members to get the job done. It’s the powerful combo of accountability and interdependence that makes a team win. You have to train a team to hardwire this behavior.

Team building in Atlanta doesn’t have to be exhausting, and your team certainly doesn’t have to suck. We’ll help you create a team that fulfills and exceeds your business goals, while allowing the personalities in your team to shine through. Don’t throw in the towel on your team building – train ‘em!
