In cooking, each ingredient brings a unique taste or flavor to the dish. If you want your meal to be extra tasty, you add more sugar, spice or anything nice. This means, too, that you cannot put pepper in your beef stew and expect it to be sweet. You need to know how each ingredient will change or affect how your dish will taste. This is true as well, to members of a team. Knowing what unique contribution each member can bring is important to building an effective team. There are several easy team building activities that you can facilitate in your team building sessions. These activities should focus on getting to know the members of the team such as what their preferences are.

Break it down into smaller steps. Goals like “Summarise ch 1.1″, “Go th
