In my years of experience working on a challenge, of course, I saw a lot of different theories, ideas and thoughts on how to run a group for a challenge, of course. Some are very complicated, some easy and some ride through the middle. The only thing I have found that the most effective of the seven principles of a challenge, of course. Communication, trust, teamwork, leadership, self-esteem, problem solving and decision-making of the seven principles. These are the main areas that need to improve a team or work with a well-rounded and successful team.

Communication

I recommend learning a real critical listening and conversation skills is important for each group tries to achieve difficult tasks.

This is the foundation of everything. If you have bad or no communication, then the group and does not crumble or fight through everything presented to them. Not only will you be a person working on the verbal communication skills, but also non-verbal.

Teamwork

Teamwork is the key that will allow the group to meet the challenge successfully. Experience makes it clear that each individual can accomplish more as a team, not as lonely.

‘Many hands, light work that the’ self-evident and effective when talking about teamwork. Another analogy I like to use one hour. Will only run if all the gears and the gears fit together, and this is precisely what every team needs, the use of the word, and everyone avoids him sin. Each person should have the strength to overcome that person’s weakness. Working together, the goal can be achieved, the individual may be too difficult to find your own.

Trust

The participants in the difficult tasks of strengthening the confidence of the facilitator, the safety of the course, each other and themselves

Trust must be established by a group that’s a little early, but quickly turn into a bit much, as long as there is some basis to begin. It was also found that a person can find very easy to trust in another person before they trust themselves.

Leadership

Leadership of and assumed, of course, and may be expressed in many ways. Team members try to solve the problems of the challenge, of course, a lot of opportunities to develop and exercise leadership skills.

It may be that a group or occasion. Everyone wants to be a leader and a challenge course, everyone should try at least once in the lead, but not all at once, try, because if too many ‘leaders’ and not ‘Indians’, not made. There is a saying: ‘In order to learn to lead you must first learn to follow’ is if you have no idea what the person is trying to direct, or you feel you need, you will never be a good leader. The best leaders are always those who work the way up to the highest position. Even some people simply are not cut out to work because of their bad decisions like that, or do not rally the team or can not communicate effectively in employment. The challenge, of course, a great place to find that out.

Problem Solving

Also known as brain storming time. Courses challenge groups and individuals need to develop solutions to interesting problems. The participants in the test solutions and then evaluate the results.

Courses challenge requires teams to make decisions in the developing one or more solutions to the problem, taking into account available resources and evaluation of alternatives and the expected results.

The problem-solving and decision-making go hand and hand. Each person in the group go through life, and thus a different view of how to achieve a different task, which means that there is so many different ways to complete the task, because there are some. What the team needs to make a ruling, which the best ideas to solve the problem. One thing to note, that I noticed in my years running teams in the challenge, of course, the quietest person in the group sees a part of, the easiest way to do things. It is important to hear all ideas. Sometimes it takes a good driver that everyone gets the idea out of them.

Self-esteem

Meeting the challenges of the event allows individuals and groups develop self-esteem and encourage them to adopt challenging, achievable goals.

Self-esteem of the most fragile of the seven principles of change during the day and team building. This is more difficult to build self-esteem of the individual, then this group, but to the group that the greatest potential of all people should be working to maximum capacity there, and if you do not believe in themselves, then eventually the whole group suffering.

There are those who say there are things missing. There is nothing that says that, in principle, it could absorb the week. Consider the seven criteria listed above is based on a great team, everything else is extra. A specific example I can think of many people wonder why you’re not on my list. It’s easy, because the problem of design problems and decision making. I think it is better to segment the planning process, such as within the group of test to improve performance.
