Team Building Tip: Your Tone of Voice

Nothing kills team building quicker than a leader or co-worker who talks to people in a loud, obnoxious, harsh, negative or demeaning way. Try not to be the leader who wonders why his (or her) team doesn't perform well and then browbeats them into submission. The goal in effective team building is to help people grow, succeed and feel great about themselves and the organization without raising your voice.
