The Online Team Assessment provides a tangible, measurement tool for the Five Dysfunctions of a Team model. The Team Assessment report offers customized data outlining a team’s strengths and weaknesses, recommendations for overcoming potential dysfunction and specific instructions for debriefing the results.

Since 2004, approximately 50,000 individuals have gone through our Assessment. A variety of teams—from Fortune 500 executive teams, to NFL coaching staffs, to school principals and their teachers—have used and benefited from the Assessment. With only 38 questions, this tool provides a quick, effective snap-shot for team performance.

• Facilitator will receive a customized, color report that reviews the dysfunctions, reveals team results and offers next steps.
• The 20-page report highlights performance on an easy-to-read stoplight scale of red-yellow-green (see sample report under the “Related Downloads” section).
• The report outlines specific advice and exercises for building a functional, cohesive team.
• Facilitator will receive instructions on how to share the results with the team.

For teams that want to gauge their progress over time, a Team Assessment Comparison Report is available. The Comparison Report graphically compares how a team’s performance changed over time and highlights strongest areas, weakest areas, areas of greatest improvement and areas of greatest decline.

It is recommended that a team retest 6 months after the initial Team Assessment. Teams who choose to retest themselves will receive this new report in addition to the standard Team Assessment Report.

This kit provides everything you will need to plan, conduct and follow-up a Five Dysfunctions (½-day, 1-day or 2-day) workshop for a team up to 10 people. It is designed to be used by anyone who wants to help a team improve its performance, including internal and external consultants, team leaders, managers and executives.

The process offered in the workshop was developed and field-tested by Patrick Lencioni and his firm, The Table Group. Practical application was central to the workshop's curriculum design. Rather than a lecture-based classroom model, Lencioni's innovative approach prompts teams to make the first steps toward change during the workshop itself.

The Facilitator's Guide presents a disciplined approach for applying the model, complete with a script and slides. The guide provides suggestions for integrating all products offered in the kit. The 10 Online Team Assessment licenses and the 10 Participant Workbooks provide materials for each member of the team. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team book, related field guide and video are also part of this comprehensive program. Although this Kit is designed for a team of 10, additional materials are available.
