Abstract

Teamwork is a preferred way of working in today's working life. Teambuilding helps both individuals and teams identify their strengths, weaknesses, and thereby, opportunities and challenges. This chapter presents some central findings on efficient teams and teambuilding and gives suggestions on a few useful tools to help build high-performing teams. Building trust within a team is paramount. Understanding one's own contribution and the value of others, different contributions are also important. A suggested way of setting up a teambuilding workshop for students is outlined. Furthermore, this chapter highlights the advantages of putting effort into teambuilding activities at the beginning of a project.
