Written by CMOE Development Team


Teamwork is a process that can be experienced outdoors and well as inrepparttar workplace. A lesson learned in one environment can be applied equally well in another. Teamwork: We Have Metrepparttar 149091 Enemy and They Are Us, a book by Dr. Steven Stowell and Matt Starcevich, describes actual teams that have participated in a variety of outdoor teamwork training programs. These programs have been as long as five days and as short as one. Each account has been chosen as illustrative of one ofrepparttar 149092 phases all teams go through inrepparttar 149093 progression from inception of a team to fully functioning interdependence. This sampling of teams has been selected for each particular event, one or another best illustrates why some teams work together better than others. Not all teams engage inrepparttar 149094 events reported here, nor are these events an exhaustive report of allrepparttar 149095 teamwork training actives that could be used to improve teams.

A majority ofrepparttar 149096 accounts in this book describe teams that have failed to succeed at their assigned task. We focus on their failure to highlight those factors that contributed torepparttar 149097 team’s demise. We do not to suggest that all these teams are failures. The best discussion and insights have resulted whenrepparttar 149098 teams have had to explain why they did not accomplish their objective in a teamwork training event.

The client teams we work with already see themselves as effective. What they are seeking from us is teamwork training to improve on their effectives – to be stretched, tested, and to grow as a group. As we said before, not all teams fail, but these accounts are typical of how a majority of teams approachrepparttar 149099 outdoor challenges they face. As with an actual team, if you focus on success or failure, you will missrepparttar 149100 important opportunity in exploring howrepparttar 149101 teams functioned in performingrepparttar 149102 tasks, or their processes.

Each account in this book has been written as an independent narrative followed by a summary ofrepparttar 149103 key points that would have contributed to better teamwork. The summaries are in varied formats including a didactic approach, a panel of experts’ discussion, participants’ personal reflections, a fable, andrepparttar 149104 team’s own reflective discussion.

Our hope is that you can translaterepparttar 149105 outdoor teamwork training metaphors and summaries torepparttar 149106 workplace and to situations within your own team. The crucial leap involves takingrepparttar 149107 lessons these teams have learned experientially and applyingrepparttar 149108 concepts to improving your teamwork.
