Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Even though each employee is talented, things just don’t go well as a team…

Many of you may share this concern.

In this article, we introduce “team building” as an initiative to solve that problem.

Team building is the practice of creating the best team—one that can achieve its goals—by leveraging each individual’s strengths.

Through games and activities, you can learn how to understand and appreciate your teammates, collaborate, and accomplish objectives together.

Renting out a closed school? The “Future School” is opening! On Friday, August 12, we will hold the Future School at the Kikuchi Furusato Suigen Exchange Hall! Our staff explain the rules of the game played at Future School, “Blind Square,” while demonstrating them in practice.

BlindSquare

This is a game where the team holds a rope tied into a loop and, with their eyes closed, tries to form shapes like a square using the rope.

It’s crucial to figure out where your teammates are, so be mindful about communicating with one another as you proceed.

Your strategy will be tested—such as the order in which you check positions and how you adjust the shape from there.

The more participants join, the more complex and challenging the shapes become, so gradually build familiarity and work your way up to tackling more difficult shapes.

In conclusion

We’ve introduced a variety of team-building activities. Did you find something you’d like to try with your teammates? Even if people have great abilities, a team that can’t make use of them won’t produce good results. Take this opportunity to deepen your mutual understanding as a team and work on building a team where everyone can bring out their strengths!
