As a leader, you know that your team’s well-being, happiness, skill level, and interactions directly influence your organization’s success. But how effective is your team really? Are you brave enough to find out?

The question of the team’s effectiveness is critical, and the answer could be the key to unlocking your team’s full potential. Our Free Team Effectiveness Assessment is designed to help you understand your team’s dynamics, identify areas for improvement, and set a clear path toward greater success.

Why Team Evaluation Is Crucial

Research consistently shows that happy and well-functioning teams outperform their peers. How does your team measure up to these success factors?

  • Performance Excellence: Happy teams outshine the S&P 500, demonstrating superior performance.
  • Resilience in Tough Times: Positive team dynamics bolster performance during challenging periods.
  • Enhanced Productivity and Profitability: Engaged and content teams drive higher productivity and profitability.
  • Financial Gains: Well-functioning teams contribute significantly to better financial outcomes.

If you are brave enough to check out how YOUR team measures up, here is what our assessment reveals. 

Our Team Effectiveness Assessment provides a comprehensive look at your team’s dynamics. The results will categorize your team into one of five levels, each offering insights and potential action steps:

Dangerous (Score 20-30)

This score indicates severe negative dynamics within your team. Miscommunication, lack of accountability, and mistrust are rampant, leading to inefficiencies and constant firefighting. Immediate intervention is crucial to address these deep-rooted issues and prevent further decline.

Poor (Score 31-40)

A poor score suggests that your team’s dynamics are significantly hindering success. There’s a struggle to pinpoint inefficiencies, leading to reduced productivity and profitability. Leaders often feel drained from managing these issues, highlighting the need for targeted improvements.

Fair (Score 41-60)

Teams scoring in this range have some issues, but they are not pervasive. Inconsistencies in alignment and varying perspectives can limit overall productivity and profitability. This category is a good starting point for making targeted improvements to align the team better.

Good (Score 61-80)

A good rating means your team culture is healthy, but some persistent issues need addressing. While operations run smoothly, improving these weak areas can significantly enhance productivity and profitability. Regular attention to these areas ensures continued success.

Excellent (Score 81-100)

An excellent score indicates that your team dynamics and culture are significant assets. High morale, low turnover, and exceptional productivity characterize this level. Continuous improvement efforts are essential to maintain and enhance this positive environment.

In addition to evaluating your team’s effectiveness, this assessment can be an invaluable tool for assessing leadership effectiveness. Here’s how to leverage it:

  1. Self-Evaluation: Start by taking the assessment yourself to gain insight into your self-perception.
  2. Team Feedback: Ask your team members to take the assessment with their team in mind.  Comparing these results with your self-assessment can provide a comprehensive view of your leadership effectiveness.
  3. 360° Evaluation: Include feedback from your boss and colleagues at the same level. This broader perspective can offer valuable insights and areas for growth.
  4. Evaluate Other Leaders: Use the assessment to evaluate other leaders on your team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

By incorporating team and leadership assessments into your regular evaluations, you create a feedback-rich environment that drives continuous improvement and success. Let’s revisit, reassess, and continue our journey towards greater team and leadership effectiveness.
