My team is located all over the states. We seem to have communication and trust issues within our group. I wanted to come up with some team building exercises that can be done over the phone on one of our staff meetings. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on any team building games or exercises? Please advise. Thanks for your help.

My team is predominately male…12 men +3 female. The males tend to exclude or not value the input of the females.. not only that but independence is not encouraged among the males. Meaning that there are about three really dominant ones in the group who tend to be able to maintain a status quo type of environment where the other males play a lesser role. We were finally able to eliminate one of overly aggressive males. We would like to have a team building day, what types of activities would you suggest?

I am responsible for a team of 16 people, but nine of the people have been hired recently, over the course of the last four months. Plus six of the nine are Asian Indian.

So I have the dynamic of new people being added to a team that has been together for two years, plus the dynamic of another culture/language.

I have not had problems, but do not see the new team in entirety meshing together as the original team did. Any input as to how I can get people more comfortable with each other and more together more efficiently?
