Team-Building-ING

2005-6-21

Today, there is no quote. At least it was not given by the facilitators.

Today is more about the real action part of the team building – build the authenticity in the team. Almost all of us had more energy and participation compared to day 1. I got so burnt sitting under the sunshine for 12 hours.

It came across many times that if we do know who we are as individuals, and dare to let others know the real us as well. It is the confidence of how much you like yourself as well the guts to allow other people to know more about yourself then accept or dismiss you. Interestingly, everyone cares how others perceive themselves and care a lot about each other on this team as well. Just the way we carry it might be different.

Today, the path to understand our stands for life and the part to feedback to each other’s stand really helped me to understand more about myself and to bridge the gap between the me-perceived me and others-perceived me. Again, I came across the problem that I always cannot be concrete – my life stand was not as concrete as others plus the ideas I have behind are not that clear. I think I still have quite a long way to discover this issue, and think about it myself to decide what approach I’ll adopt to realize my life stand.

Other interesting things I learnt today are:

1) Our bodies cannot lie.
2) How the 2 facilitators can naturally link everything together one after another while putting everything we as @ers are interested in in-between. How difficult it is to facilitate a team building of an AI team while all of us have been through so many similar sessions, while we are very close as a team and the purpose is to build the intimacy. How to create the balance of being the catylist and outsider is really tough!
3) My rough ideas about what does team authenticity mean and how we should create it.
