Team Building :Yale University Case
A session was conducted on ‘Team Building’ that began with understanding the differences between team and group. This was done using list-making method to understand the key difference among general ones. We arrived to one interesting outcome that forming a group seems relatively easier than team as latter needs to achieve a goal. This took us to a point to understand the importance of ‘Goal’ and ‘Goal Setting’. A case was presented with Alice in Wonderland.
Alice: Which road do I take?
Cat: Where do you want to go?
Alice: I don’t know.
Cat: Then, it doesn’t matter.
This drives us to a saying, “If you don’t know your goals, it doesn’t matter what you choose”
Then a case of Yale University of interviewing (using a questionnaire) 1953 batch on ‘Specific goals’ and ‘Do they write them down?’ It was found that only 4% people did so! After 20 years, that is 1973 the same people were interviewed to check their achievement. It was found that 4% were healthy and were in happy relationships. They were financial independent with wealth greater remaining 96% people combined. This case could be a good motivation to understand the key behind setting a ‘Goal’. As simple the listing might look but it seem to have produce powerful results.
The session ended with several activities to understand the team formation and its importance.
A photo to cheer at the end!

More ‘She: Ekla Cholo Re’ Reviews
Team of She: Ekla Cholo Re thank all the reviewers/readers. We have received 50 Ratings/Reviews at Goodreads.
The book is very true, of course, touching and sometimes moving and does secularly on moralizing censorship to induce the reflection, not the coarctation in a slow, cooling off, that culture must encourage. (Further reading: click here)
