The Five Dysfunctions of a Team - Individual Assessment

Introduction

The primary purpose of this assessment is to provide you with a sense of your team's unique strengths and areas for improvement. For a more accurate and holistic analysis, we encourage your entire team to complete the assessment. While the assessment itself provides an interesting perspective, its most important aspect is the discussion it may provoke around specific issues.

Be thoughtful about your responses, but don't agonize over each response. Your initial "gut feel" is usually best. Select a response to indicate how each statement applies to your team. Please remember to use the entire scale (1 to 5) to represent your most accurate response. The assessment should not take more than 15 minutes.
