When teams function well, organizations are productive and team spirit is in the air. When they are dysfunctional, quality and productivity decline, and people lose their inspiration. A one-day program won't transform dysfunctional workgroups over night. But once you see the value of teamwork, making a conscious and consistent effort to build it within your organization pays off extremely well over time. Hosting quarterly team building programs is a great way to show your people you care about them, and lets them know what you value.
Any good team building program needs to be fun.
And creating an atmosphere of fun and enthusiasm is Buford's specialty. He kicks his programs off with comedy, karaoke and kazoos, and gets the whole group dancing in the aisles. But Buford also brings real substance to his programs. He teaches the philosophy and benefits of teamwork and engages the group in exercises designed to create awareness and changes in behavior. Buford uses creative and challenging games and activities to get everyone to experience group dynamics.
