Breakfast

I believe that when you work in a project, you should try to build up a team and to support the members as much as you can. Whenever acting as a project manager, one of my main tasks was always helping groups develop effective communication & problem-solving skills in my attempt to build up a team out of a collection of people.
Probably my methods are not always the classical ones, mostly adjusted to the team members.
One my latest ideas was breakfast, I thought that by sharing food, the atmosphere will be different, people are becoming more relaxed, they start talking on a different level. Our current team is made out of approx. 30 people and I was thinking that at least 10 will come. My greatest surprise was the level of response, I had 23, the remaining 7 were in holiday. They were so enthusiastic, many helped with the arrangements and my choice of food was praised.
Picture from here
I am so happy and grateful today, seeing them all around, chatting happily and simply having a nice hour together. I am not sure if this was a team building event, but what I know is that next Thursday I will bake a cake, and so will 3 more colleagues. On Friday at 3pm next week we will share coffee and cake! I think that is a good sign right?
