Teamwork Questions
Teamwork related questions to ask members and employees.
Do I respect, have a high regard for, encourage and support others on my team with regard to acknowledging their perspective, background and expertise?
Does our team demonstrate high trust in each other as well as extend trust and encouragement to other interrelated teams?
Does our team display an intense dedication to the personal success of each team member as well as the organization as a whole?
Do I, along with other team members, ensure that we have the best talent available on our team, and that our individual talent and skill is used to the fullest extent possible?
Do I, along with other team members, routinely handle the close-to-the-work functions of “planning, organizing, directing and controlling” the work required for meeting our stated objectives?
Does our team know who our internal and external customers are?
Does our team interact effectively with each other, with our customers, with other teams and with those in leadership roles?
Am I willing to take on a different role that at times is not being filled?
Do we as a team regularly identify and solve problems within our control?
Is our team well versed in the business strategy of the organization?
Does our team encourage all members to provide input without regard to their background?
Does our team create an environment in which team members feel they can freely express their views?
Do I place the success of the team ahead of my own personal success?
(I.e. there is no “I” in team)
Do I respect the decisions made by experts inside and outside the team who are charged with the responsibility of maintaining the balance between business efficiency and challenging the status quo?
As a person of high technical ability and insight, do I take the personal responsibility to share my knowledge and build a solid working relationship with others who are less qualified or have less insight?
