They seem to be locked in an internal battle of rock, paper, scissors because they can’t break out of their pattern. However, team building is very important, and games and puzzles are a great way of helping that process along. People often bond well when relaxing outside of work tasks. 

Be aware of what’s going on around you

OK, so these guys look like they’re showing off for the camera, that’s true. But being able to catch a flying hammer out of the air does display an impressive amount of spatial awareness nonetheless. If you can cultivate this kind of awareness with your teammates, then you’ll probably work much more effectively together.

Foster a good, trusting working relationship, and your teammates will be there to carry you when you need it – just as you’ll be there to carry them when they need it.
