Equilibrium Marketing Solutions: Building Leadership

At Equilibrium Marketing Solutions, we are always looking for new and fun ways to hold team-building events and promote leadership skills. The goal is to find a group activity where everyone has to work together to solve a puzzle or overcome a challenge.

One great example is the group mud race. These aren’t simply obstacle course races – they require group work to get through the tasks. The goal of these events is, in part, for the team to have fun, but it’s also to break down normal work barriers and get people relating in ways they normally do not. To succeed at the race, everyone has to accomplish each obstacle as a group, which brings people closer together, and at the end leaves everyone with a sense of satisfaction. These races are also great for determining who naturally takes leadership in different kinds of situations.

Whatever the challenge, embracing the mentality of being invested in team success rather than individual success will boost productivity and performance. Equilibrium Marketing Solutions management has found that encouraging fun teamwork can be just as valuable to bonding as doing regular work – if not more so.

As a team, we celebrate each person and their unique contribution as well as the success of the team as a whole. Maybe we don’t do mud races as our regular team-building activity, but Equilibrium Marketing Solutions’ group always looks for novel ways to build spirit and hone leadership skills. How do you do it in your office?
