As the partner to Capacity Company -Team Attitude again supported them with their client Merlog Foods, facilitating an experiential based outdoor team development programme. The weekend team build was both physically and mentally challenging at times requiring teams to dig deep to create the synergy and communication levels required to complete the tasks.The four teams competed in several tasks from Beach/river crossings ,Mini obstacle course, Quad bike challenges,Paintball shootout and several Lateral thinking exercises. Further supported with  structured indoor personal leadership modules from Lars Lofstrand , the team left on Sunday evening satisfied &  tired but equipped with the tools required to further develop them into a more productive and unified team.  Thanks to the Lars & Andre for again entrusting us as their Team Development Partner.
