Write a 700- to 1,500-word paper in which you address the following:
- Provide your results. This means both the score and the range in which you fell.
- Do you agree with your results? Be sure to provide examples of how you display each of the traits.
- Based on your self-assessment, what do you see as your strengths and weaknesses regarding working on a team?
- Have you ever engaged in social loafing while on a team? Why or why not?
- How does working effectively on a team give you an advantage in the workplace? To address this question. you need to provide expert data in two areas.
The first data needed is expert
validation that teams are being used more extensively by companies. (
For example, how many companies are now using teams compared to 5
years ago.)
The second data set needs to validate
that skills gained in a team environment can help you advance your
career. Ken Blanchard has conducted a lot of research in this
area
- How do groups normally develop? (Hint: this topic is one of your discussion starters.)
- How does the effectiveness of the team members influence the group’s
development process? Provide a concrete example of both positive and
negative impacts on team member behavior.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
Two outside references are required in addition to the textbook and assessment.

Self-Assessment 8.3: Evaluate (Your) Team Member Effectiveness
To
assess your own team member effectiveness, complete the assessment
answering each item in terms of the extent you agree that you do each.
Calculate your overall team effectiveness score and compare it to the
norms listed below to gauge your general team member effectiveness.
Next,
calculate the subtotal for each competency and compare your subtotals
to the arbitrary norms listed below to assess your effectiveness on each
competency. Then, to determine which competencies are the strongest and
weakest for you, calculate your average for each and compare them. The
averages are computed by taking the subtotal for each and dividing it by
the number of items for that competency. This will show you the
relative strength of your team competencies.
Improve the value of
this measure further still by evaluating yourself in terms of your
effectiveness in a particular team (school, work, or other
organization). Then, have a member of that same team evaluate you.
Compare your scores with those given by your teammate, identify the
consistent scores and those that differ, and use this feedback to
improve your own team member effectiveness.
