Discussion: Team Building
As the authors of your course text emphasize, motivating employees should be a goal of all center directors because motivated employees are more likely to maintain a standard of excellence in the workplace. How can directors inspire employees to perform their best? Creating a team-oriented environment is one effective tool for motivating staff members. In this Discussion, you will examine the relationship between team building and motivation and consider specific strategies for fostering a collaborative spirit among staff members. To begin, reflect on the following:
• Why do you think a sense of team camaraderie can often increase employee motivation?
• How would you describe the role of teamwork and the importance of team building in a child development center? How would you communicate this to your staff?
• What are some specific team-building activities that you, as a director of a child development center, might implement in order to foster a sense of collective purpose and cooperation among your staff members?
With these thoughts in mind, follow the instructions below to post your response to this Discussion topic.
