This team appears to be capable of acceptable performance in a defined range of tasks, projects, and activities. A midrange rating indicates functionality gaps in specific core team processes which can be addressed by considering the core processes below.
Core Team Processes
- TR - TRUST
- TA - TEAM ACCOUNTABILITY
- MTC- MANAGING & TRANSFORMING CONFLICT
- LE- LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS
- TAD - TEAM AWARENESS & DEVELOPMENT
- OC - ORGANIZATIONAL CONDUCT
- TRS- TEAM ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Descriptions of select core processes:
- Team Accountability goes to the timeliness and quality of the team’s work product.
- Managing and Transforming Conflict and dissent are learned and essential skills – both of which are necessary for teams to produce timely and high quality output.
- A solid foundation of Trust among team members allows for open, healthy, and productive interaction. Members rely on honesty and candor rather than hidden or personal agendas. Individual input is treated as a “building block” for members to construct richer and more comprehensive solutions to their assigned tasks.
- Leadership Effectiveness is considered crucial to overall team performance. If the team is a self-directed team then the aspect of shared leadership is crucial to their overall functioning and performance. Self-directed teams, just as leader-led teams, have their own set of factors which influence their core processes.
Team Development Considerations
One of the questions we pose to organizations is related to the reason(s) you decided to reach out to discuss team performance at this time. Did an event, incident, or situation occur that prompted you to act?
There are several methods to consider to “take the pulse” of the team. Surveys and interviews can yield valuable information. Also, asking a trusted colleague to provide their observations of the team can provide a new perspective and information. If you are the team leader, timely and specific input from your manager as to their perception of both team performance and your leadership skills is crucial. Feedback from your manager about your own development needs is also key to enhancing team functioning and performance. This conversation may include discussion of a 360 feedback initiative, which involves gathering input from you and the team members.
We partner with our clients to develop the purpose and strategy of the 360 process to best align this initiative with your organization’s business and talent plans. Let us know if you need further information.
