The Team Can Work and Succeed

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

All too often we hear depressing news about the climate, recession and sluggish performance. It’s no wonder that company morale is at a low when you are constantly being faced with stories of gloom. Employees start to look on the negative side, start becoming fearful of their own role within the company and start looking for alternative employment.

You don’t need us to tell you that this in itself is bad for business. For a business to be strong and to ride out the bad times it needs to feel strong, it needs to believe it can perform and it needs strong, positive and dedicated individuals joining together to make a strong team to lead the company to success.

This won’t happen by itself, now more than ever it needs working at. Team building in today’s business environment is even more important than it ever has been. Team building helps retain your trained and experienced members of your team, boosts company confidence and motivates your team. Team building is crucial.

If you are looking to host a team building event or want some advice then give us a call at Accolade Corporate Events today and we can talk about what would work for you and your company.

Team building The Key To Celtic Success

Monday, March 29th, 2010

When it comes to team sports, you live and die by your performances as a whole. No one person makes a team, and if you fail to bond as a unit then it is very unlikely that you will obtain any success in your chosen field of sport. One team that is in desperate need of team building expertise at the moment is the former champions of the SPL, Celtic.

Not for quite some time has Celtic trailed their local Glasgow rivals, Rangers by such a margin. The gap currently sits at 10-points, whilst Rangers also have 2 games in hand on the fierce opposition. The final straw for Celtic fans came in a 4-0 drumming at the hands of St Mirren, who managed to record their first ever win over Celtic in the Scottish Premier League.
It is clear that the new Celtic boss will have a large job on his hands. Ideally he will need to bond the team back together through a number of team building exercises allowing them to archiving their best on the pitch. At the moment they look like a fractured and splinter group of individuals who have lost belief in their own and their team-mates abilities. The good news for Celtic fans is that a new manager often brings a fresh approach and a clean slate.
We can always achieve more as a team than we can as individuals and although sometimes it is important to work alone, if we don’t understand how to work as a team then it will take us a lot longer to achieve our goals.

If you feel that your team could benefit from attending a team building event in 2010, then why not contact us at Accolade Corporate Events. We have a number of exciting and entertaining team building events that will benefit your team and help you to work more efficiently and effectively over the year ahead.
