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.

common interest of propelling the organization forward. Without team work no organization can
