Team Building Means More than Throwing a Few People Together
"Teamworking" is found everywhere within just about every organization .you can't get away from "teams" that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Or so the theory goes.
There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:
| 1． |
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realized the value and significance of what they are going to do. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive. What is more ,they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process. |
| 2． |
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously . This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues. For example ,it may discuss a sensitive topic .Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees. This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on frank discussion is required. |
| 3． |
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense ---people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions. |
| 4． |
Disagreements are natural and, in fact debate and discussion should be encouraged. A team made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with in the first place. Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so "under-the-table" method may be effective. |
| 5． |
Most high-performing teams are well organized. A good organizer should be able to play to individuals' strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve. He must ,above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. Team building isn't as simple as just throwing a few people together. It requires, much more, but motivating people is most essential. Successful team working is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride. |

Once you stand behind a lectern(讲台) you need something to say, and you want it to be very interesting.The excuse people have for avoiding public speaking is, “I don’t have anything to say. My life is boring.’’ 1
How can you express yourself and your message? Here is a list of questions to ask yourself:
What is your philosophy? By what values do you live your life? List the key moments of your life. 2
For example: learning how to ride a bike, moving to a different city, taking on a new job, and so on.
What subjects and issues are you certain about? 3 To make flowers grow? To create world peace? Then share your story with the world!
4 Share your favourie jokes.
What makes you angry? Share how you would change teh world for the better if you could.
5 Speak about what catches your attention at the moment. Don’t have enough time in the day for all your work? Give a speech on that topic! It will perhaps help you solve that problem.
So, what do you have to say? Challenge yourself and discover your voice!
| A．What makes you laugh? |
| B．Do you have a sad story to share? |
| C．You may not think so at the moment. |
| D．What are you struggling with right now? |
E. But in fact you do have a message to share.
F. Have you found the best way to encourage a child to read?
G. Are there any special lessons or experiences that greatly influenced you?
It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it．You just waste your valuable time．1 One dependable aid that does help you remember what you
study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you．I'm just looking．"? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it．But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you．I want a pair of sun glasses．" She says, "Right this way, please．"
__2_ If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing．But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it．Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．
__3__ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．
4 At least two important processes go on at the same time．As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately．But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read．You have a kind of 
mental conversation with the author．
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes．__5__ One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions．Facts can be checked by evidence, Opin
ions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources．Still another part is drawing accurate inferences．
| A．Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting． |
| B．It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study． |
| C．You remember better when you know what you' re reading． |
| D．In other words, a good reader is a critical reader． |
E．It’s quite the same with your studying．
F．Reading is not one single activity．
G．This is the way it works．
