Team
Leader Survey The Team Leader Survey
provides leaders or potential leaders of self-managing teams with the opportunity to gain
a clear understanding of their skill level in interacting with their teams. The Survey is
a 360° feedback tool. That is, leaders not only evaluate themselves but may also receive
feedback from the team members they lead, their peers, and/or their managers.
Leaders will
learn useful information about themselves, recognize some of their strengths, identify
some areas they want to change, and commit to specific action plans to aid in their
development. In addition, the entire survey process can open the lines of communication
between the leader and others in the organization.
Development
The Team Leader Survey was
developed through research with self-managing team leaders. A job analysis provided the
starting point for the project. The research was conducted with a manufacturing
organization in the Southwestern United States. The leaders participating in the project
were the equivalent of middle managers and first-level supervisors in traditional
organizations.
Participants in the project
identified the most critical leadership components and rated them on several dimensions.
Then additional research was conducted to broaden that analysis to various industries and
regions of the country. Over 100 individuals from diverse industries and backgrounds
analyzed the identified skills and suggested new skills.
