The Team Analysis Reports
The Team Analysis report serves as a guide for the team leader, assuring the accomplishment of the team's objectives. It spotlights the strengths each member brings to the team and how to capitalize on those strengths. The report also suggests actions the leader can take to improve the performance of all team members while increasing his/her effectiveness as a leader. The report has four sections:
Team Balance Table
- A visual summary of where the Team Leader and each Team Member scored on each of the twelve factors. This table allows the Team Leader to easily see the team's overall representation on each factor.
Overall Team Balance
- An exploration of the characteristics now well represented on the team. The Team Leader must be aware of these characteristics to insure all critical activities are completed.
Behavioral Factors
- The team members with high and moderately high scores in each factor are identified. The Team Leader uses this data to easily apply the natural characteristics to insure all critical activities are completed
Team Leader Action Summary
- This summary has action steps (as suggested in the Behavioral Factors section) for supervising the greatest contribution from every member of the team.
