One effective way to improve the performance and bonding of your team is something you may not have done since high school: book assignments.

Team book assignments are a great way to prompt conversations on outside ideas that could impact the business (an emerging trend, a different process, an idea from a different industry, etc.).  Everyone has an opportunity to offer input, and teams often find that the planned discussion of new ideas quickly leads to practical implementation and growth in their organizations.
