We all have experiences of doing things with others. Sometimes teams are a joy, with the combined outcomes being greater than the sum of the individual parts. Sometimes teams can be difficult, with lots of time and energy being taken away from the activities and outcomes we are meant to be working towards. Team health is a major factor in the success of all organisations and endeavours, including the Church and our mission of advancing the Kingdom.
If you are interested in improving you team’s effectiveness then follow the link below. We have developed a tool for reviewing your team health. The tool has been developed using the principles from Patrick Lencioni’s book, Five Dysfunctions of Team, only they have been reframed in the positive, Five Functions of Team.
Also provided below is the Team Evaluation Scale developed by Tim Dyer, to further assist in the assessment of team’s health.
If you need any help with these tools, or following up on improving your team health, then please call the BUV Church Health and Capacity Building team.
