Development
In the field of organizational development this is recognized as an appropriate tool for obtaining an accurate measure of team effectiveness across the five critical team functions of:
- team mission
- goal achievement
- empowerment
- open and honest communication
- positive roles and norms
Who is it aimed at?
The Team Effectiveness Inventory aims at teams and companies who want to support ongoing development and enhance team working capability. This allows the team to achieve a baseline measure of the team effectiveness prior to any further investment in team development.
Result
The Result of the Team Effectiveness Inventory is a measurement of the team on the mentioned dimensions. The report and analyzes are easy to read and comprehensive.
- team mission
An organization may have an exceptional company mission statement, but if the team itself does not have its own expressed mission it is likely that team members will not understand how their work contributes to the company's mission. The team or departmental mission should support the company’s mission.
- goal achievement
Everyone wants to know how they and the team are performing, so setting and measuring goals keeps the team focused and provides immediate feedback. Remember, goals should be specific. Team members need to understand that if you can't measure it, you can't grow it! Goals should also be attainable, yet high enough to "stretch" performance.
- empowerment
The empowerment refers to the extent to which team members are given the authority, responsibility and accountability necessary for them to perform their roles within the team effectively. The team leader should remove as many obstacles as possible. Give them the knowledge and authority to handle routine problems independently.
- open and honest communication
Open communication must exist between team members and the team leader if the team is to remain effective. The team cannot grow and maximize its effectiveness if people are not open and truthful. Remember, communication is a two-way street. Team members should be expected to not only share opinions and ideas, but also be open to feedback.
- positive roles and norms
Cooperation among the team is necessary for the team to be successful. Effective teams take advantage of the strengths of each team member. Work can be assigned based on the strengths of each employee. It is also important that team members help each other work on their individual weaknesses. Team morale increases when team members realize how their roles contribute to the overall effectiveness of the team.
