Team Assessment

Focusing a Team

If your team is newly formed, has new personnel, a new leader, or is just in need of new energy, you may want to use the activities below.  Although they are presented as a set, you can use them separately as needs emerge:

  1. Team Assessment: Use this assessment to take a critical look at your team.  It should open productive conversation about your team and its direction and needs.

  2. Visioning: Use this activity to articulate your team’s ideal future

  3. Goal Setting: Use this activity to focus your team goals and set a basis for directed action

  4. Building an Action Plan: Use this activity to identify specific actions to begin achieving your goals

  5. Clarifying Roles: This activity will help your team clarify the role of each individual team member.

Focusing Activity One: Team Assessment
