👋 Welcome to this confidential and anonymous team assessment. It's an opportunity for us to pause, reflect, and share how things are going for us as a team.
Your input will help us evolve how we work together: strengthening our goals, clarifying roles, improving processes, and deepening relationships. There are no right or wrong answers—just honest ones.
Please rate each statement on a scale from 1 to 10—about us as a team, not the greater organization.
Let’s grow forward—together.
Indicate your response for each item on this 1-to-10 scale about our team
Not connected to a meaningful purpose; Confused, diverse, conflicting or imposed
Clear and understood by all; Shared and committed to by all; We feel involved at the right level
We rarely revisit goals once set; Goals seem mainly task-oriented, operational, or financial
We regularly revisit and refresh direction based on new insight or changing realities; We integrate human, systemic, and societal impact
Responsibilities
Roles are undefined or unclear; Some create conflict, confusion, or competition; People are unsure how their work fits into the bigger picture or how others contribute and integrate
Roles are explicit and clearly understood by all; We agree on member roles; Everyone knows how their work contributes to the collective purpose—and how others add value to the whole
We focus mostly on getting things done, not growing people; Some are rigid and inflexible; New ideas are shut down; Feedback is avoided, unclear, or personal; We don't focus on learning or un-learning outdated methods
Team is flexible, adaptable; We seek new and better ways; We encourage each other to evolve our thinking; Feedback is welcomed and used for mutual development; We embed learning into our work practices
Group needs for leadership are not met; Leadership is centralized; A few dominate while others are passive
Leadership is shared when appropriate—people step up and lead in their areas of strength; Leadership is dynamic—people lead based on need, not title
Problem Solving
We jump prematurely to remedial proposals; We treat symptoms rather than root causes; We don't see the dynamic system at play; We offer piecemeal or fragmented solutions; We're unclear which problems are ours to own
When problem arise they're carefully diagnosed before action is proposed; Solutions address root causes and systemic implications; We consider the effects our actions and inactions have on the entire system
Needed decisions don’t get made in a timely manner; Decisions made by some members while others are uncommitted or uninformed
Decisions are made with input from those most affected; They're inclusive and grounded in diverse perspectives; Final decisions are fully supported vs uncommitted
Members are in a rut; We operate mechanically vs continuously improving; Persons stereotyped or stuck in their roles; We are not evolving our capacity so that we can evolve our system to the next level
Our thinking and perspectives are expanding and maturing; We're becoming more capable, systemic, and innovative as we foster the growth of our stakeholders' capabilities
It feels risky or unsafe to be vulnerable or disagree; Some distrust one another; We're too polite and careful; We're closed and guarded; We're afraid to criticize or to be criticized
Psychological safety is strong; Even hard truths are handled with respect and curiosity; Members trust one another; We freely disagree without fearing reprisal
Few dominate; Some don't feel listened to; Several talk at once or interrupt; The pecking order or hierarchy prevents full participation
All participate and feel heard; All feel respected and cared for; We respect and consider all input; Full participation regardless of title
