Is your team getting ready to take off and fly high or is your team stuck on the runway? Knowing the difference between good teamwork and bad teamwork is critical to the success of any company especially today with the ever-changing workforce landscape. But what is the difference? Connection! Connection is what gets you through when things get hard, when a new competitor enters the marketplace, when the economy changes or when supply chain issues occur. Will your team rally and stick together or unravel and drift apart? Does your workplace environment support trust? Has your team plateaued or is it still climbing to new heights of performance and innovation? By developing a highly effective team now, you prepare your company to both reap the benefits when times are going well and prepare your team for the inevitable challenges that lie ahead in business.

As the saying goes, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Thus, the way teams work together reflects the performance of the company. High performing teams exude collaboration, innovation and problem solving all while creating a fun environment. Fun is not usually a term that is heard when discussing optimal performance and achieving extraordinary results. But fun can be one of the by-products of a highly functioning team. In the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance’s (GRCA) new teambuilding workshop, “Drone Flying, Pilot Your Team to the Next Level,” participants learn the importance of good communication between team members all while creating connection, being in flow and experiencing fun.

Being comfortable and confident to communicate among team members increases work efficiency and results. This can be difficult for new team members or those who normally do not engage and challenge other team members. Some may find it uncomfortable to offer advice or ask for help from team members. This workshop will help participants gain confidence and guide team leaders and supervisors in encouraging clear communication between members. Through structured scenarios utilizing the flying of drones, participants learn that teams succeed when individuals pool knowledge, skills and perspectives. When team members combine their strengths, the team can achieve more together, and when team members find the role, they fit into most comfortably both individual and team performance is optimized.

The greatest asset of any company are its employees. Employees don’t work alone; employees depend on their team members to accomplish tasks. The teambuilding workshop will help you create the domino effect of building stronger bonds, creating more open communication and spark innovation and creativity. Teams are a critical component of a successful company that need to be continuously nurtured, to reach their full potential. If you are looking for a relevant and actionable team experience using evolving technology to get team members interacting and behaving in a different way than try the Drone Flying Team Building workshop and watch your team reach new heights!
