Team Factor Survey

  

 

 

 There are two ways to use this Survey (each Team Factor has a definition to help you understand what is being measured, and is rated by putting an X in the appropriate score box):

1) One Copyfor the organization head to use alone to rate key team members as a group (though individual team members may be rated separately)

2) Multiple Copiesone to each key team member (including the organization head) to rate their group as a team.  Completed surveys should be submitted to someone who will total all results onto a consolidated chart.  To create a consolidated chart, total the number of Xs for each rating of each Team Factor and enter that total onto the consolidated chart.  This second approach is preferred, since it spreads the perspective among the team members.

1 = Poor, 2 = Satisfactory, but could use improvement, 
3 = Good, 4 = Excellent

1.   Common Purpose & Goals—My team has and works toward a clearly-understood, shared vision and direction.  My team has and works to achieve clearly understood, shared, specific end results.

 

 

 

 

2.   Commitment—My team has the emotional force that motivates each member of the team to get involved, to contribute part of themselves to the common purpose and goals of the team or to other team members.

 

 

 

 

3.   Communication—Each person on my team works at building interpersonal bridges to find common ground on which to share information.  There is active, honest, open, participative information-sharing, attentive, receptive listening, and effective feedback.  Low "walls" or barriers - up, down, or sideways, and minimal "hidden agendas."

 

 

 

 

4.   Climate (or Culture)—The work environment is constructive, supportive, creative, "fun."  There is mutual understanding and patience, with ground-rules for behavior.  It is safe to air difficult or uncomfortable issues, voice minority viewpoints, and take reasonable risks.  Learning and achievement are valued and rewarded, in tangible and intangible ways.

 

 

 

 

5.   Coordination—My team has things in order; it plans together; there are effective and flexible procedures to guide the team's processes.  Priorities are set together, but are flexible and adaptable.  There is a clear structure, with roles and responsibilities well defined.  Mutual expectations are shared.  The team has a complete, complementary, balanced set of skills and resources available, which are used to achieve the team's goals.  Each person's strengths and weaknesses are understood.  Duties are designed around these strengths, and weaknesses are either covered by someone else's strengths or the person is helped to improve in the weak area(s).

 

 

 

 

6.   Cooperation (or Collaboration)—My team works together for the common purpose and goals, with balanced participation.  Effective relationships exist, with mutual respect, confidence, trust and support.  People achieve their own goals by helping (facilitating) others achieve theirs.  Well-defined group processes exist for problem-solving and decision-making.  Conflicts are managed constructively, and difficulties are confronted and worked through effectively.

 

 

 

 

7.   Compensation—Effective measurement systems are in place to track team performance toward goals.  Feedback is specific and ongoing.  Each person feels some ownership for whatever is being worked on or toward.  Personal development is encouraged.  Some effective combination of base salary and/or individual and/or team incentives assures that people are recognized and rewarded for effective performance.

How you choose to view the score is up to you.  Are you satisfied?  Do you need to take some positive action?
