Why Perform Team Assessments?

Team assessments are utilized for a variety of purposes:

To assist in the selection of individuals who will be invited to participate in a team that has a specific purpose or project.
To more comprehensively understand the personalities of team members as part of a team building process where there is a need to more comprehensively understand the personalities of team members.
To identify underlying differences that are contributing to performance or relationship issues.
To craft working relationships and communication strategies that improve team effectiveness.

Capitalizing On Your Team’s Assessment

The team assessment process begins with each member completing an on-line survey identifying their behavioural orientations and communication/interaction style. A group profile is then created by combining all the individual results into a picture of the collective strengths, weaknesses and communication styles.

Team leaders can then design specific initiatives that will help leverage the strengths and agree on processes that ensure their weaknesses are not always getting in the way of their productivity and effectiveness.

The various Communication Styles identified by the team assessment can be discussed, acknowledged and versatility skills can be developed to accommodate differences with less stress and tension.

Every team has two agendas: improving their effectiveness, and achieving their goals. Team assessments are valuable insights into the contributors – and – inhibitors, of team effectiveness.
