Team Check:

This survey allows team members to rate their team on important dimensions that are characteristic of high performance teams. Several factors are assessed to provide a holistic view of factors affecting the working climate within the team, factors affecting the context within which the team must work and outcome factors like increased performance, perceived growth as individuals and as a team, and pride in being a member of the team.

Several team behaviors are rated to assess how well the team is doing in the following areas:

TEAM INTERACTION

• Setting and monitoring Standards for Performance
• Exchanging Information, Ideas and Insights
• Coordinating Effort
• Planning and Decision Making
• Supporting One Another
• Giving and Receiving Feedback
• Managing Differences and Conflict
• Identifying and Handling Problems and Mistakes
• Celebrating Successes

TEAM CONTEXT

• Direction
• Interdependence
• Performance Imperative
• Organizational Support
• Skill mix
• Access to Information
• Money, Materials, Staffing, Equipment

OUTCOMES

• Performance
• Growth
• Satisfaction

This survey is designed to facilitate focused conversations by the team about how well they are working together -- what behaviors/factors need to be supported because they work and what behaviors/factors need to change because they undermine effectiveness. Clarity about how team members want to work together typically enhances the team’s performance.

Cost: $250 per person
