"The Team Effectiveness Profile is sensitive
enough to identify areas of need even within the
highest performing teams: the subscores discretely
diagnose teams." |
Team Effectiveness
Profile
4th Edition
Help teams learn how to surface,
diagnose, and work through the issues that impede effective
teamwork. For more than 15 years, the Team Effectiveness Profile
(TEP) has helped teams eliminate or reduce blockages in the 5 vital
areas of team activity: Mission, Vision, and Goals; Team Roles;
Operating Processes; Interpersonal Relationships; Interteam
Relationships.
Learning Outcomes
-
Identify issues that block
effectiveness
-
Reduce or eliminate problems that can
drain a group’s energy
-
Maximize the group’s productive efforts
Theory
The Team Effectiveness Profile focuses on the 5 Categories of
Team Effectiveness. The first 4 of these categories are based on
those presented by Richard Beckhard in Organization Development:
Strategies and Models (1969). Interteam relationship theory is the
basis for the fifth category.
5 Categories of Team Effectiveness
-
Mission, Vision and Goals
-
Team Roles
-
Operating Processes
-
Interpersonal Relationships
-
Interteam Relationships
How It Works
The TEP has been designed to function as a self-administered
learning instrument. The TEP yields an overall Team Effectiveness
Score as well as separate scores for each of the 5 areas indicating
the general health of the group and blockages that hinder team
effectiveness.
Uses for the TEP
Appropriate for any type of team and all levels of team members and
leaders, the TEP can be used as a stand-alone instrument or as a
component in a larger team-building program. The TEP can be used to:
-
Measure pre-team building conditions
-
Orient new teams to potential problems
-
Unblock struggling teams
-
Determine post- team-building results
We recommend administering the TEP
periodically, as issues will change over a period a time.
