I learned a lot from studying this particular section. There were certain areas which stung a bit. I caught myself re-evaluating and often looking in the mirror. Sometimes we think we are excelling or surpassing in most arenas. However, it is great to have frequent self evaluations or provide feedback tools to our team in order to measure the temperature of our true effectiveness. I particularly like the Team Audit and Team Effectiveness Worksheets to assess many areas of team vision and goals all the way to team leadership. Implementation of these tools can help to identify the following symptoms: Lack of Participation Failure of Member contributing creative ideas Failure to get a consensus from team Poor Communication Lack of Team Identity Potential dead end or stale results yielding from Groupthink Like the question was posed, how would you discern if you or another team leader is providing less-than-stellar leadership?
