Effective Team Building:
The Role of Core Values
Effective team building starts by establishing your team's core values and never breaking them.
The difficulty many people feel when they're working in a team setting comes from the fact that often they feel that the team's values don't reflect their own.
The reason for this is that whether or not we admit it: "the world revolves around us."
Our values define who we are.
On a team, the collective values define the culture, good or bad, functional or dysfunctional, of that team.
Great teams respect and closely share core values. On most teams, it seems, where conflict and animosity arise most often is when someone's values get trampled on.
When animosity creeps in, your team breaks down. Team experts recommend putting every team member on a 90 day probationary period. Then you can watch how the new team member acts within your team setting.

Effective Team Building: The Common Traits of Successful Teams
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
~ Dr. Joyce Brothers
Commitment is the blood that breathes life into any team, it's the core of effective team building.
Without commitment any actions you're team takes will be ineffective. Finding synergy is about getting everyone on the same page, commitment wise.
Integrity: The core of all business. People's integrity defines nearly every aspect of their lives: their relationships, words, actions, and thoughts. All good things flow from the integrity of your team. People with high integrity can stay committed to the core purpose of your team. Teams with integrity stand firm in the face of danger, their personality doesn't shrink in face of stress.
Love: Great teams love themselves. Each member loves all the other members of the team. They innately understand that what the team achieves it achieves together. Even when two team members don't see eye-to-eye on something, they respect the other's opinion.
A loving environment creates the seeds of success. Personal satisfaction and fulfillment occurs when teams feel comfortable, and people are able to be themselves. This is when a productive and stable team can emerge for you.
