# Team Effectiveness

Helps you understand how easy it is for a team to reach agreements, speak openly, keep commitments, and see shared results.

## Key facts

- **Categories:** 5
- **Questions:** 12
- **Who to ask:** member of a specific work team
- **Topic:** Basic diagnostics

## When to run it

The team seems to be working, but results are unstable, conflicts happen, or people are afraid to openly discuss problems. This survey is based on classic models (like Project Aristotle) and helps assess the health of interactions within a specific team.

## What it will show

- **Psychological safety:** Whether people in the team can talk about questions, mistakes, disagreements, and difficult topics without fear of punishment or humiliation.
- **Dependability:** The predictability of keeping commitments, work quality, and early warning about risks.
- **Clarity:** Understanding of roles, goals, priorities, the work process, and decision-making in the team.
- **Meaning:** The personal significance of the team’s work for the participant.
- **Impact:** How visible the impact of the team’s work is on the product, customer, process, or organization.

## Example questions

- In our team, I can admit a mistake or ask for help without fear of shame, punishment, or losing respect.
  - **What it measures:** Understand whether mistakes and requests for help are seen as normal work signals that the team addresses on their merits, rather than as a reason to shame, punish, or lower a participant’s status.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What usually makes it difficult to admit a mistake or ask for help?
- In our team, you can count on agreed commitments being fulfilled within the expected timeframes and at the quality needed for further work.
  - **What it measures:** Understand whether team agreements are seen as reliable enough for planning shared work: team members can rely on what was promised without constantly double-checking, following up, and reworking the result.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** Which types of commitments most often turn out to be unpredictable in terms of timing or quality?
- In our team, I understand what contribution is expected of me and where the boundary of my responsibility lies.
  - **What it measures:** Check whether the participant is clear on what they are responsible for, what contribution the team expects from them, and where their area overlaps with others.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What exactly remains unclear about the expected contribution or the boundaries of responsibility?

## What's in the report

The report will break down team effectiveness into five factors: the level of psychological safety, the reliability of colleagues (keeping promises), clarity of roles and goals, a sense of meaningful work, and an understanding of their impact on the company’s overall result.
