Team Check: How well is your team organized?

What this check measures

Teams rarely fail because of laziness. They fail because of invisible work: tasks that always land on the same people, performance nobody sees, quality checks done only by the boss. This is exactly where the check starts. Six questions on six core points of good collaboration:

• Task distribution: Who decides who does what - and how does work reach the right people?
• Ideas: Does everyone contribute suggestions - or only the leadership?
• Quality: Who checks whether work was done well?
• Unpopular tasks: Are they shared fairly - or always dumped on the same people?
• Visibility: Can you tell who contributes how much?
• Recognition: Does it reach people - or evaporate?

How your score is calculated

Each question awards 0, 5, 10 or 20 points - depending on how your answer honestly turns out. Added up, that is up to 120 points. There is no right or wrong to show off: the check evaluates what you yourself assess.

Honest rather than flattering

The result is a self-assessment, not a scientific report. But anyone who answers the six questions honestly gets a clear picture of where their team stands. The full 120 points are only reached by groups in which tasks are chosen voluntarily, ideas come from everyone, and performance is visibly recognized. If you score below that, your result shows exactly where things are stuck - usually invisible or unfairly distributed work, not lack of will.
