Team Assessment

Is your team high performing?

Measure your team across the six dimensions that make teams perform.

Teams do not fail on talent. They fail in the space between people: trust that has not formed, decision rights that are unclear, work that falls through the cracks, and problems no one feels safe to raise.

The Team Assessment reads exactly that. Everyone on the team rates it across six evidence-based dimensions, and you get a full picture of how the team is performing, and you'll see your view compared to everyone else's too.

Where teams come apart

What actually holds a team together is invisible.

A team lives or dies in the space between its people. Trust has formed there, or everyone is covering their backs. Decision rights are clear, or they are murky. Work flows, or it stalls at the handover. And the difficult thing gets said, or it gets swallowed.

You have probably watched it happen. A decision made in the meeting, then remade in the corridor an hour later. A team that looks aligned in the room and scatters the moment the work moves between people.

It turns out that what actually holds a team together is a set of things you cannot see clearly: trust, psychological safety, how information travels, whether people are genuinely chasing the same goal. Those things stay hidden until someone measures them.

The Team Assessment does exactly that. It shows you where you are genuinely together, where you are pulling apart, and where your sense of the team and theirs part company. That last gap is usually where the real work starts.

What gets measured

Six dimensions that make teams perform.

Each one is a place a team quietly comes apart, and each one is grounded in the research on what makes teams work.

Purpose and Direction
Clear, shared goals. The team knows what it is for and what winning looks like.
Roles and Clarity
People know who does what, who decides, and how the work fits together.
Trust and Safety
People admit mistakes, ask for help, raise problems, and disagree openly.
Coordination and Flow
Handovers work, and people share what others need to know.
Accountability
Commitments are kept, and poor performance gets addressed.
Cohesion and Renewal
The team works as a unit, and reflects and adapts as it goes.
How it works

Three steps, everyone's view.

No workshop to schedule. Each person rates a set of short, specific statements about how the team works. Twenty-four of them, seven minutes each, answered privately and pooled into one honest picture.

  1. 1
    Take it yourself
    Seven minutes, on your own, on any device. You see your own view of the team first.
  2. 2
    Invite the team
    An email each to everyone on the team. Their answers are pooled and confidential, so people can be honest.

What you get back

The team, seen whole.

Once at least five of the team have taken part, the report unlocks.

01
The team's high-performance profile
Purpose, Roles, Trust, Coordination, Accountability and Cohesion, scored and plotted for the whole team.
02
Strengths and weak spots, plainly named
Where the team is performing, and where the work needs to start, in order.
03
United or pulling apart
The spread among members, so you can see the splits and subgroups a healthy average would hide.
04
Your view, set against the team's
Since you take it too, you also see where your picture and the team's differ, as a secondary view.

Your team rates Trust twenty points below Purpose. You are aligned on the what, not yet on how you work together to get there.

The evidence

The conversation is where a team actually changes.

Seven minutes each is all the assessment asks. The conversation it sets up is where the return is. A meta-analysis of structured team debriefs found that teams which run them properly perform around a fifth to a quarter better than teams that do not. The evidence comes largely from medicine, aviation and the military, where teams debrief as a matter of routine, and the authors describe it as one of the most economical interventions available to a leader.

Being on the same page turns out to be worth measuring on its own. When researchers separated a team's shared understanding of the work from how well the team simply got along, the shared understanding predicted performance over and above cohesion and smooth process. A team can like each other and still be pulling in different directions, and that gap is what this reads.

Google reached the same conclusion from its own data: what mattered was less who was on the team than how the team worked together, with psychological safety first among the five dynamics it found. It also settled on the same way of acting on it, surveying its teams, giving leaders pooled and anonymised scores to share, and supporting the conversation that followed with a discussion guide.

The individual dimensions hold up too. Specific, shared team goals produce considerably better performance than vague ones, and the research on team building puts role clarity and goal setting top of the list for shifting how a team works. That same research carries a warning worth having: individual targets that pull people toward their own numbers rather than the team's do more harm than no targets at all. Pooling the answers confidentially is how you find that before it costs you.

Questions leaders ask

The things worth checking before you start.

Will people see each other's answers?

No. Individual answers are pooled and shown as one team picture, never attributed to a person. That is what lets people tell the truth.

How many of the team need to take part?

The report unlocks once at least five have answered, so the pooled view stays confidential. The more who take part, the truer the picture.

What if the team is not honest?

Confidential, pooled answers are exactly what surfaces the honesty a room full of colleagues usually holds back. That gap is the whole point.

Do we need to book a workshop to do this?

No. Everyone answers in their own time, from their own private link. You can bring the results into a session afterwards, with a team coach or on your own, if you want to.
