Team effectiveness checklist

Each team member completes the scoring individually. Scores can then be collated anonymously or openly on a flip chart.

Overall scores reveal  how much consensus or variance there is for each statement  the team’s view of their biggest strengths and areas for development

There are no right or wrong answers. The idea is to use the results to start a discussion.
