A great leader can motivate individuals to achieve something amazing together as a team. But that doesn’t always mean just getting busy with what’s in front of you. Sometimes you need to step back, reflect, and look at the big picture. Give your team a chance to rest, recharge, and strategise for the future. A great way to do this is with a team-building away day or weekend!
Leadership is an art that calls for attention and thoughtfulness – getting away can give you the reflective space you and your team need to thrive. To think about your personal and collective strengths and weaknesses. Take stock: who needs help, encouragement, or direction? How can you make sure everyone’s on the same page, motivated for the same mission?
When we rest, we remember that we’re more than what we do, and that we can’t flourish if work is all we do. We need time off, time to be free and relaxed, where we can stop and smell the roses. A team retreat is a great opportunity to just enjoy each other’s company as a team, laugh and play games together, find out things you never knew about each other. Enjoy a proper meal together rather than grabbing a meal deal at your desk. It’s a chance to have fun, celebrate all you’ve achieved together and let your team know how much you appreciate them.
They say change is as good as a rest: new settings help us think about life and work in new ways. Continually motivating your team in the context of the office you already spend most of your time in might be tough. But getting away to the countryside can change perspectives, opening up the world and the imagination. Approach challenges with a fresh angle. How can you think outside the box if you don’t get outside the box?
