Attached you will find a Team Performance Profile which I developed and customized a number of years ago to diagnose team issues. Think of a work related group/team in which you were a member. Complete the Team Performance Profile for that group/team. Now review the top three characteristics (three with highest scores) that were working well. Why were these working well? What was the results on team morale/performance? Now review the bottom three characteristics (three you scored the lowest) not working well. What specific actions would you recommend to correct the problem.(300 words minimum)
