What is the Five Dysfunctions of a Team Assessment, and How Does it Work?

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Assessment is a fully automated, web-based tool that helps a team better understand its susceptibility to the model found in the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. With 37 statements and five team culture questions, the assessment identifies a team's strengths and weaknesses, as well as those areas where team members have differing perspectives. The detailed report offers recommendations for overcoming potential dysfunction and instructions for debriefing the results.

The main contact sets up the team by entering the email address of every team member. The main contact also has the ability to customize a standard email message that will be sent to each team member. Once they hit "Send Now," emails are automatically sent to each team member with a unique link to the assessment. Each participant then follows the link provided and responds to the assessment statements. Once the final person on the team completes the assessment, the Team Assessment Report will be emailed as a PDF to the main contact.
