2 - Review Goals in Team Building

Discuss with the team the general goals they will be working toward and how these goals fit with the organizational goals. Then let the team set its own more specific goals. By explaining the organization's goals and how the team's efforts will help achieve these goals and allowing the team to participate in setting its own goals, team members are more likely to feel a sense of ownership about the tasks to be done. They will become committed to and be enthusiastic about their work.
