Document Summary

Team bonding is a very important process that will help to ensure a close-knit team. If team members try to motivate one another, everyone will try harder to accomplish team objectives. Team building games are a fun way to develop cohesiveness. They tear down walls in communications, provide avenues that encourage discussion, and increase productivity. It is an ongoing process that boosts commitment. They are goal directed behaviors - motivated individuals keep working until they reach their goal. If an individual varies the behavior and persists until reaching a goal, it is a motivated behavior. The word motivation is derived from the same root as motion - something that moves an organism. It can be defined as what activates and directs behavior. Motivation is the physical and psychological process that drives us toward a certain goal.
