Team building that isn’t closely linked to the real world issues and challenges of your business is a waste of time. It is really important for CEOs and other executives to support team building to ensure that:

• The company vision gets communicated clearly
  
• You leverage each and every opportunity to reinforce the corporate culture you are trying to shape
  
• Team building and training exercies get infused with real world issues, not theoretical cases.
  
• You have a feedback mechanism to help you keep your finger on the pulse so that you get unfiltered access to what is going on in your management team and on the frontline.

Without this support, team building can be perceived as irrelevant to the organization and the facilitators can be perceived as out of touch with organizational realities. This is particularly the case if there is aready a disconnect between the corporate culture you are trying to foster and existing organizational practices.
