You are the primary client and contacted an OD practitioner to help you some problems that you are experiencing in your organization. You've gone through the stages of the OD process with the practitioner and together you agree on a team level intervention. The intervention strategy included a team diagnostic survey. Review the results of the diagnostic survey file and answer the questions below.
1.What seem to be the problem(s) this team is facing?
2.According to their responses, what do team members indicate are the team's strengths? What areas do team members indicate are weaknesses or areas for improvement?
3.As the team leader, how would you prioritize the opportunities for improvement? You need to list the problem areas you identified in Question 2 in order of priority and provide a brief description as to why you ordered them this way.
4.How would you present the information obtained through the diagnostic survey to the team in a feedback meeting? I'm looking for details regarding what information you would share and the method of delivering the information.
5.Which of the team intervention(s) discussed in Chapter 11 would you recommend using to solve the problems you've identified? Why? You need to list specific interventions that were covered in Chapter 11. Neither, Team Building nor Team Development will be considered an intervention.

I We are a highperforming team and we consistently achieve our goals. I This is a great team to be on ifyou're part of Leslie's inner circle. Hyou're not, then you will be ignored. I I don't trust agigglegne. of them and I don't think anyone here has my back when I'm struggling. We don't support each other as a team. I I would like to see us make more decisions by consensus. Right nomwe just wait until Leslie makes decisions and announces them to the group. We have very little input. I Leslie has been a great leader. I think we have great potential, but there are some negative members of the team that bring us down in meetings with their pessimistic attitudes; like April. I This team is cliquish and the core group of them exclude some of the other ofce members (e.g., Jerry). I I don't know much about what the other team members are doing. We get brief updates whenwe have Mm but the meetings are too infrequent and the updates are too brief and lack detail. I I Twill not respond to your question. This is a waste of valuable resources.
