Instructions: This is an assessment of your teamwork skills. First, choose a team assignment to analyze. It can be a group assignment from a previous course or workplace.

If the latter, please describe briefly what your work group was doing so that I can follow along.

There are two steps to this assessment. First, evaluate your group's communication effectiveness by rating each of the following on a scale of 1 (Not Well) to 5 (Very Well).

As a Group, How Well Did You (on a scale from 1 to 5):

Define or clarify the task

Exchange and share information

Encourage expression of various points of view

Evaluate and analyze data

Use the best decision-making approach (consensus, majority rule, etc)

Focus on tasks, not individuals

Demonstrate respect for all

Encourage feedback

Encourage expression of opinion

Build on others' ideas

Ask for clarification of ideas

Demonstrate equality

Address disagreements or misunderstandings

Stay on task

Second, answer these questions:

Describe the top two strengths and two weaknesses of your team. Give examples of what your team did well and not well. Do not mention anyone by name.

What was an area of strength that you brought to the group? An area where you could have improved?

What type of decision-making method described in the textbook from last week did your group use?

When you are in a group and you see some of the weakness that you mentioned above, what can you as a group member do?
