Observing the two TEAM BUILDING REFLECTIONS Graphs and the notes page, how would you describe each Team member and the Team as a whole?

Example—

Person #1 tends to be most demanding and decisive. He or she also has good verbal skills. He or she is more concerned about getting the job done, as opposed to security and status quo. He or she does not like details or having to be cautious about everything.

Person #2 is also dominant, but more verbal than the others. He or she is extremely positive and enthusiastic. Concerned about making good impressions, he or she prefers the crowd, as opposed to individuals. He or she is also not interested in doing the little, behind the scenes, things.

Person # 3 is more demanding than not, but very particular about getting the job done correctly. He or she is not interested in speaking to groups, but rather working with individuals. He or she is more task-oriented, plus prefers a steady and stable environment.

Person #4 is not dominant. He or she loves people and is able to relate to groups, as well as individuals. Though interested in correctness, he or she is not a “perfectionist”, but may demonstrate more “concern” for doing things right. He or she is more people-oriented.

Person #5 is the least assertive and decisive. He or she is the most loyal and faithful. Concerned about security and stability, he or she is passive and particular about getting things done right. He or she is more shy, but makes a faithful friend to those in need.

The Team, as a whole, is well balanced. Two of the five are more active, while two of the five are more passive. Two of the five are more task-oriented, while two of the five are more people-oriented.

The predominant trait of the Team is slightly more active than passive with 12 of the 20 plotting points above the mid-line. This group is also more verbal and may compete for attention. They can draw on each other"s strengths, while avoiding their individual weaknesses to benefit the Team.

This Team may need to improve with a little more stable and cautious behavior. They may also need to more passive and reserved. Listening and showing more concern for others will improve their effectiveness.

Be positive, but honest with your comments. These notes will be shared with everyone. The purpose is not to expose or hurt anyone, but to improve our understanding and effectiveness of one another.
