13. Social Team Building as a Practice of Corporate Values to Achieve Engagement

This essay intends to bring to the debate the importance of systemic thinking in organizations. Among many ways to do it, we explore the concept of Social Team Building as a successful way to exercise our social skills, interaction, and the strengthening of the teams. The German philosopher Friedrich Hegel said that the one who exaggerates the argument affects the cause. The quotation clearly translates the great panacea into which certain concepts such as social responsibility, sustainability, and engagement have become. Sustainability is an ethical issue. We can assume different behaviors according to our values, beliefs, culture, as individuals and society. The complexity of social and environmental problems signals the importance of potentializing opportunities together as a team. Citizens, civil society, organizations, and government need to think in a collaborative way of solutions that may contribute and give more effectiveness to the search for sustainable social development.
