The Five Dysfunctions of a Team By Patrick Lencioni PG. 192 - 194

Instructions: Use the scale below to indicate how each statement applies to your team. It is important to evaluate the statements honestly and without over-thinking your answers.

3 = Usually 2 = Sometimes 1 = Rarely

_____ 1. Team members are passionate and unguarded in their discussion of issues.

_____ 4. Team members quickly and genuinely apologize to one another when they say or do something inappropriate or possibly damaging to the team.

_____ 6. Team members openly admit their weaknesses and mistakes.

_____ 7. Team meetings are compelling, and not boring.

_____ 10. During team meetings, the most important ? and difficult ? issues are put on the table to be resolved.

_____ 12. Team members know about one another's personal lives and are comfortable discussing them.

*These questions have been selected from a longer team assessment which is why they are numbered in this way. For the full team assessment please reference the book, Five Dysfunctions of a Team.

Scoring Combine your scores for the preceding statement as indicated below.

Dysfunction 1: Absence of Trust Statement 4: ________ Statement 6: ________ Statement 12: _______

Total: _______

Dysfunction 2: Fear of Conflict Statement 1: ______ Statement 7: ______ Statement 10: _____

Total: _______

A score of 8 or 9 is a probable indication that the dysfunction is not a problem for your team. A score of 6 or 7 indicates that the dysfunction could be a problem. A score of 3 to 5 is probably an indication that the dysfunction needs to be addressed.

Regardless of your scores, it is important to keep in mind that every team needs constant work, because without it, even the best ones deviate toward dysfunction.
