Be Open

As leader you have an essential role to be certain the job gets done. Yet you're permitted to be open with them - to discuss your concerns and anxieties. It's OK to be human and inside that psychological bond, you will all become a stronger team.

Spread the Word

After the team work is finished, or if key individuals move on, rejoice in what they take from the experience with you. Invite them to use their expertise of Team Building with their new people and do it for themselves.
