Being pleasant to someone, even a stranger, will often draw out a similar or related response. And this can be particularly so in a corporate team. This is a long way from relying on teambuilding consultants with their exercises and motivational stories! Because, simply attending a team retreat is not going to build a team that works together, even with the best <a href="http://www.teamworx.cc" rel="nofollow">teambuilding ideas</a> in the world. Good teamwork depends on the personal ATTITUDE of each team member as they work with the others and commit to the objectives of the company. Day after day. Week by week. Right?
