ACTION PLANNER

Taking a Team Assessment is useless, and can cause a decrease in performance, if it is not acted upon. The key to increased team performance is to create an improvement action plan that is executed upon. Your report provides an abundance of data to work on. The key is to narrow down your results into actionable steps to improve team performance. These insights help connect your results from the team performance assessment to practical next steps. It is better to choose a few items to work on than it is to choose too many.

There are a few ways to approach your improvement action planner. The data can be shared with your team and worked on together. The action planner can be solely completed by the leader. And you can engage a team coach to facilitate your next steps and improvement plan.
