Staff Development Program: Team Building and Synergy
Prof. M.J. Xavier in collaboration with Dr. S. Shyni Carmel Mary, orchestrated a dynamic team-building program at LIBA on 24th October 2023. The program commenced with a strong emphasis on the significance of team building. Dr. S Shyni Carmel Mary emphasized the distinction between working as a group and working as a team. The team’s purpose centered around contributing collectively to help LIBA achieve its mission and vision. Engaging activities such as Bingo and “Getting to Know You” to enhance communication, collaboration, and overall team dynamics were designed to facilitate effective communication and teamwork and proved to be a valuable tool. Participants actively engaged in conversations, fostering an environment where individuals learned more about their teammates. Prof. MJ Xavier’s session on synergy brought a new dimension to the team-building program as he stressed the importance of addressing negative synergy promptly and called for courage in expressing thoughts and feelings to the management.
