This new collection of instruments provides team building practitioners with tools designed to assist in the development of individuals, teams, and organizations. The instruments range from very simple, self-scored tools, to more complex assessments that provide in-depth information on teams. All of the instruments are fully reproducible which makes them a very cost-effective alternative to in-house development or off-the-shelf instruments.
Provides survey tools for three areas of team development
- Effective team players-these instruments help team members, team leaders, and team coaches identify their strengths and weaknesses and use the survey data to build a self-improvement plan.
- Effective teams-includes tools to increase the effectiveness of the way a team accomplishes its tasks. Covers team meetings, high performance, customer focus and other team issues.
- Organizational effectiveness-These survey tools address the specific issue of team-based organizations. They measure the extent to which the organizations culture, structure, and systems support a teamwork strategy.
