Most companies treat team building like a box to check. A quarterly happy hour. A ropes course (remember those?). An annual offsite where everyone plays along. Then they return to the same disjointed meetings, unspoken tensions, and underperforming teams. They leak valuable time, energy, and resources. This approach is not just ineffective—it is expensive. "Teams that bond for a day but break down for a quarter are not teams—they are liabilities." - Chris Young |
