All of the following statements about teambuilding are true except:
  1. Building on the idea that there is no I in team, teambuilding exercises focus primarily on the role of the team, rather than on the role of each team member.
  2. Teambuilding is an effective means through which team members can explore issues such as communication, problem solving, and trust.
  3. Teambuilding exercises are most effective when they are linked directly and specifically to organizational objectives.
  4. Teambuilding exercises can be of value even if the activity itself doesn’t seem to bear any immediate resemblance to the actual workplace.
Explanation
Answer - A - Although teambuilding is team focused, it also recognizes the criticality of addressing and enhancing the role of the individual within the team.

Key Takeaway: Teambuilding is an effective means through which team members can explore issues such as communication, problem solving and trust. Teambuilding exercises are most effective when they are linked directly and specifically to organizational objectives, or to the mission, vision and/or values of the organization. Parallels between teambuilding scenarios and their relevance to the workplace might not always be immediately apparent, so option D is not the best response.
