Team building is pointless. This is a very popular misconception among people that's why some do not want to participate in these events. Some people assume that having getaways in popular attractions such as the beach will not have an effect in the productivity of the team. Because of this negative thought, the team building activity fails. What you need to do is to explain to your members thoroughly why you are doing the activity.
