The results of a team effectiveness questionnaire that I conducted recently showed that we are a high performing team with three clear strengths:
- We encourage divergence
and innovation
(new ideas are welcomed and actively sought out and problems are seen as
opportunities. Innovation is not seen as a threat. We all feel able to ask
‘naïve’ questions. At any one time someone in the team is thinking about
how we might do something better)
- We celebrate and exploit
diversity (different
opinions are sought to reach more innovative solutions. We have the skills
to reach mutually respectful understanding, while still disagreeing)
- We like to share learning and improve (we are curious, like to experiment and are keen to learn. We share our knowledge and skills willingly)
The two clear things we need to work on:
- Clarify vision, set
targets and boundaries (we need more clarity around our purpose, where our individual responsibilities lie and how we are
contributing to the overall picture. We need to work on clarifying
roles, giving clear direction and creating a sense of purpose)
- Maintain vibrant internal communication (while face-to-face contact is preferable; short, frequent and informal contact should become routine).
This gives some clear direction for me to work on.
