Welcome!

The purpose of this assessment is to identify the present stage of your team. It is not intended to make judgments about a team’s placement or condition.

This thirty-two question assessment contains statements about teamwork. Next to each question, indicate how often your team displays each behavior by using the following scoring system:

1. We try to have set procedures or protocols to ensure that things are orderly and run smoothly (e.g. minimize interruptions, everyone gets the opportunity to have their say).*

2. We are quick to get on with the task on hand and do not spend too much time in the planning stage.*

3. Our team feels that we are all in it together and shares responsibilities for the team's success or failure.*

4. We have thorough procedures for agreeing on our objectives and planning the way we will perform our tasks.*

6. We take our team's goals and objectives literally, and assume a shared understanding.*

8. We do not have fixed procedures, we make them up as the task or project progresses.*

9. We generate lots of ideas, but we do not use many because we fail to listen to them and reject them without fully understanding them.*

10. Team members do not fully trust the other team members and closely monitor others who are working on a specific task.*

11. The team leader ensures that we follow the procedures, do not argue, do not interrupt, and keep to the point.*

16. Many of the team members have their own ideas about the process and personal agendas are rampant.*

18. We assign specific roles to team members (team leader, facilitator, time keeper, note taker, etc.).*

20. The tasks are very different from what we imagined and seem very difficult to accomplish.*

21. There are many abstract discussions of the concepts and issues, which make some members impatient with these discussions.*

31. There is a lot of resisting of the tasks on hand and quality improvement approaches.*
