Focus

Activities were focused on the following

elements:

Leadership in team work in Islam

Definition of group and team work

High precition in team work

Role in team work

Effective characteristics in team work

Competency in team work

Communications technique in handling

conflict

Endurance in physical, mental and

spiritual strength and energy.

Activities

Participants were divided into 5 groups. Each

team had to appoint a leader. Discussion

sessions between groups and the facilitator

before and after each activity were held to solve

problems collectively.

,

More than 10 activities and tasks had to be gone

through, among them:

:

1. Tangram or Qiqioban race

2. Lego

3. Creation of groups/teams

4. Long line-ups

5. Land raft rally

6. Long skates

7. Spider web

8. Overturning mats

The above were some of the activities

undertaken by each group. They were meant to

test one’s mind in solving, problems. Physical

mental, spiritual strength as well as emotion

strength and energy were needed.

Conclusion

In order to

carry out a

difficult task,

we cannot do

it alone. We need team members to think

collectively in problem solving.

As a team, we will gain more

ideas, as more heads will

result in multiple ideas. Each

member hopes other team

members will be friendly and

cooperative so the daily

workload will be managed

well.
