Ok so it’s April 1st, the day of the fool, everybody is within their rights to play jokes on people as long as it’s before midday but it’s incredible how foolish some people are all year round. These foolish people are those that say things like ‘team building is a waste of time’ and ‘I try to avoid my company team building event.’ The clue is in the statement; these people aren’t team players and are ironically probably the ideal candidates for team building!

You have to wonder what has made them take such an extreme view though, is it just pure delusions of grandeur or is it painful experience? What have they done in the past that would make them anti team building forever more? We talk to many companies that have the problem of preconceptions about team building. Surprisingly enough, even in this day and age some people still think that team building is either all about being thrown in the middle of nowhere in the rain and being told to find the way back or having uncomfortable group hugs with colleagues!
