Challenges to Team Challenges to Team BuildingBuilding

#1 CHALLENGE#1 CHALLENGE


If the leaders of the small teams that make up the Army are competent, and if their members trust one another, those teams and the larger team of teams

will hang together and get the job done. People who belong to a successful team look at nearly

everything in a positive light; their winners’ attitudes are infectious, and they see problems as challenges rather than obstacles. Additionally, a cohesive team accomplishes the mission more

effectively than a group of individuals.FM 22-100, 5-103

Discussion QuoteDiscussion Quote


Your subordinates must know – must truly believe – that they’re a part of the team, that their contribution is important and valued. They must know that you’ll train them and listen to them. They don’t want you

to let them get away with shoddy work or half-baked efforts; there’s no pride in loafing. You must

constantly observe, counsel, develop, listen; you must be every bit the team player you want your

subordinates to be– and more.FM 22-100, 5-110
