Teambuilding – Diepresse.com

You have to be able to say it: the team was completely in the corner. Winkler does not speak to Klimm after the two have an unfortunate affair. Unfortunately, neither of the two can be moved. Neither of the two wants to be moved. Everyone feels right and the staff representative is against it. Kraus doesn’t like Söder. Söder stinks and Kraus has a fine nose. Schimansky is misanthropic, doesn’t like anyone. What on
Mutuality is based. The team leader sees himself against an unsolvable task. His department head puts him regularly because something to do. How long does he want to wait?

So it wrestles about a decision. He is looking for a suitable external provider for weeks who specializes in team building. He has a team day followed by an overnight stay on a neutral, external soil. Everyone has to go with.

On a gray Monday morning, the team can find a job in a hotel in the area of ​​an hour of car for the workplace at 9:00 a.m. Winkler has deep dark circles and stinks of residual alcohol, which Kraus immediately comments on. Winkler still processes the separation of pulling. Clamp is dressed out like a Christmas tree. Söder smells of old socks. Schimansky is demonstratively fifteen minutes late. Without word. Quiet is afraid. That also smells craus. Without comment.

« Welcome to today’s team building event! », An external coach named Steve welcomes you. Just Steve, please. Not Stefan, not Steevie. « Today we will get to know each other better and get stronger as a team! » Steve sounds a few decibels too loud for Winkler’s headache.

Everyone inclusive thinks: « But I already know the others. Are all idiots. »

« You all already know team building events, but I can promise you, this one will be different. Quite different! », Shouts simply-nothing.

Eye rolls from Söder and Kraus. Winkler and Schimansky look into the void. Climming is directed at your tightly cut t-shirt. This does not go unnoticed by Steve. He is definitely a parliamentary group chest. Questions are still full of questions.

The first exercise is called « blind labyrinth ». It should strengthen trust.

Steve set up a course with armchairs to prepare, where a participant who is connected to the eyes must be pruned by the calls of the others. Söder has to start. The others call half -motivated. Schimansky takes part. It takes around an hour to refuse – Schimansky refused. An hour that felt like a hundred.

Then you have to build a tower with Spaghetti. The exercise fails due to a lack of serious participation. Even after she asked Steve several times to work. Even after questioning with an unsafe smile, good expression is progressing as a model.

Rope pulling follows. Winkler, Söder, Schimansky lose against Klimm, Kraus, questioning. The only thing that really pulls is questionable. Then an egg run, in which three dozen eggs break. Söder now stinks of lazy eggs. Hardly anyone is trying. Construction of a human pyramid that is canceled after half an hour. All in all exciting as a thousand years of forest walk. There is still no answer.

At the end of the day, Steve roars his prepared motivation address via team, togetherness, sense of community and targeting targets under difficult circumstances. Referred nods in agreement. Repeat the points of Steve in his speech.

After that, there are two hours of the personal decision. At some point you have to make the emails.

In the evening you meet at the hotel bar. Nobody else is in the hotel, you are among yourself. Steve does not take part in the evening event. This time only belongs to the team, he says.

The talks are developing slowly. A round of gin tonic orders. Warm-up. One for the team. After the first round, everyone agreed on the idioticity of today’s exercises. How should a team shape that? At the third gin tonic, it is agreed that questions are rightly earned and not a manager. Quietly has a difficult tip. Can only agree with it nodding. He feels the same. Unable. Otherwise he never drinks anything. He already lacks some letters in the words. Better only gesticulate and hum. Schimansky sips the gin tonic.

In the fifth round there is an emotional, tearful pronunciation between Winkler and Klimm in front of everyone. You didn’t want it to get that far. Even if you are no longer a lovers (anyway, Winkler is married), you can still work constructively as a colleague. So Winkler, so Klimm. You fall into your arms. Schimansky sips the gin tonic.

Kraus has an intensive pronunciation with Söder at the table, apart from the others. To be on the safe side, they are slightly leaning against each other. Stabilizing measure. There are only scraps of conversation that point out that it promised Kraus Leidtue and Söder regular deodorant use and fresh robe. His language center follows, which gave up an hour ago, sleeps in a wing chair with his head in the neck and snores like an moose.

At 02:43 Winkler warp and pull together to reaffirm the farewell as a couple. A room booked for free. The question is brought to bed at 02:53 by Kraus and Söder. Stiff like a board. The leather allergy with headache and nausea the next day is certain after he is going on his shoes.

Schimansky sips the last gin tonic, leaves the bar and knocks softly on the door of Steve. There, Steve whispered in the ear during the day, she can pick up very special cramping exercises with depth at any time of the day and night.

The next day at breakfast everyone is in a good mood. Winkler and clay smiling. Kraus and Söder are a heart and a soul. Schimansky feels really good. The shame runs. It is agreed that the previous day was completely wrapped. At least during the day. The evening, however, was awesome. Welded together. His answer finally got questions. Now he just has to wake up.
