Team building is not necessarily about learning new stuff. It's about doing simple things that perhaps even kids can do. Just like kids, things must be done with sincerity and passion. Looking at what we did throughout the three days we were in Genting Highland, was certainly not "rocket science". We were doing kids staff like drawing faces, making "dolls", singing, aerobic, making "speeches", lots of "war cries", explore race and "making fun" of each other. Nothing judgemental and just let loose. Since each team comprises of members from different background and seniority, we moved that barrier first and foremost. Whilst some groups were headed by professors, others were led by technicians and other support staff. But we all had fun. Some teams were given bonuses because they came early as a team whilst others got their points deducted as they "failed" to clean up their desks after each activities. The final session was about moving forward. Members get to speak their mind with all sincerity. It's all about recognising each other's strength. The Faculty of Accountancy has been built on strong footings with great bonding. Members work cohesively as a team and are very loyal to the faculty and UiTM. We came down from Genting Highland feeling refreshed and committed. On the way back to campus, we stopped by Kelana Jaya to attend a joyous occasion of another colleague - Associate Professor Dr Rohaya - a wedding event for her beloved son Shukri...Sunday, November 4, 2012
