Team Basics

During class we spent

some

time covering what makes up a Real Team. Recall this definition from your

course work:

What is a Team?

-

A “Team” is a small number of people with complementary

skills who are

committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach

for which they hold themselves mutually accountable

Using that sentence as inspiration, we performed a short survey about your "Current Situation" in class. You

answered questions about a set

of behaviors, provid

ed

a response choosing either Yes, No, or Unsure

, and

filled in a reason

for that choice

. This assignment expands on that

exercise

using a

more focused and tactical

set of questions.

Reference the

questions

in the survey file

. This

is a survey that ONE member of your team

will

fill out

on their

own

, rather than a group effort.

1.

Send a copy of the survey to each member of your current team or a team that you have recently worked

with.

I do

-

not

-

recommended doing this with a

new

team just getting

started

, as the answers will all be

"unsure" and is outside of the spirit of the ass

ignment.

2.

Each survey participant should provide a Yes / No / Unsure answer PLUS a

r

eason

for choosing

that

answer. Both parts are required for you to interpret the results.

3.

Compile the results of the surveys into the format

outlined

below.

A

dd a row for each

participant

for

responses.

You can use responder’s names, or reference by number if you wish to share anonymously.

Question 1:

Does each member understand the others' roles and skills?
