Part 1

Write a reflective and applied statement describing how the material from Weeks 1-4 has affected your thought process, personal development, and professional disposition. Consider the following guiding questions:

What challenges have you encountered?

What discoveries have been the most insightful?

Have you discovered a new perspective or new level of understanding?

Have you had any interactions that have had an impact on your learning?

Which concepts are still puzzling or confusing to you?

How does the material from Weeks 1-4 align with your academic or career goals?

Include specific examples and relevant details to explain how the material from previous weeks has changed or influenced your thinking and/or your behavior regarding teams within organizations.

• Format any citations and references in your reflective statement consistent with APA guidelines.
• Part 2
• Refer to the Team Effectiveness Survey Workbook, located in this week’s University Library Resources.
• Section 3 provides sample survey questions that may help you develop your tool to measure team effectiveness.
• Section 4 provides additional information about coding a survey.
• This week you will use the Week 2 assignment to develop a team performance evaluation tool by synthesizing the research findings from the interview you conducted in Week 2. In Week 6, you will use this tool to evaluate functional teams within an organization of your choice.

Note: The tool should serve as a template that can be applied to a wide range of organizations to provide leaders a tangible direction for team success.

First, create your survey objective(s), which you will incorporate as you design the tool. Consider the following:

What will the survey measure?

Who will take the survey?

What are the intended results of the survey?

Now, design a survey with a minimum of 15 questions in Microsoft Excel®.

Incorporate discrete variables in your survey questions. Remember that each question should be limited to only one variable, such as:

Compose 15 questions that are clear, focused, well-reasoned. Remember that each question should support your survey objective(s).

Create a 5-point Likert scale. Consider researching a variety of Likert scales to determine the best type of response anchors for your survey.

Team decision-making

Communication processes and style

• Leadership performance
• Incorporate the research findings from the interview you conducted in Week 2.

Ensure your survey is clear and easily readable in Excel.

Finally, write a paragraph summarizing your design process. Use the guiding questions below:

What was your development process?

What benchmark information did you consider prior to designing the evaluation tool? How did you incorporate details from your Week 2 interview and/or your research?

What response anchors did you select and why?

What predictions can you make about the outcome of the survey?
