Team Appraisals
Unlock the full potential of your teams through guided development
High-performing teams don’t happen by accident. They emerge when people understand each other, complement each other’s strengths, and collaborate with clarity and purpose.
Team Appraisals provides a structured, data-driven dialogue between managers and their teams, designed to strengthen collaboration, elevate team performance, and support strategic development across the organization.
Team Clarity
Create shared understanding around team goals, responsibilities, and success criteria.
Collaboration & Trust
Strengthen mutual support, openness, psychological safety, and conflict-resolution capacity.
Execution & Accountability
Ensure that agreements lead to action—and that the team consistently executes on what matters.
These three outcomes together form the backbone of a cohesive, high-performing team.
The Team Appraisals framework evaluates five fundamental team capabilities. These are the pillars that differentiate an average group from a true team.
1. Vision & Shared Direction
A strong team is united by shared purpose.
This area explores whether the team:
Has a clear direction and shared goals
Feels connected by common values
Functions as the primary forum for development and decision-making
Demonstrates loyalty and commitment to collective outcomes
2. Idea Generation & Innovation
Winning teams create an environment where ideas can thrive.
This area examines the team’s ability to:
Generate new ideas and challenge existing assumptions
Make long-term and strategic decisions
Address conflicts constructively
Initiate improvements and innovation across the organisation
3. Support & Interpersonal Development
Strong teams invest in each other.
This area explores whether the team:
Demonstrates openness and respect
Handles conflicts effectively
Listens actively and values differing views
Takes shared responsibility for each other’s success
4. Action & Execution Power
Teams succeed when decisions turn into action.
This focus area looks at how well the team:
Follows through on commitments
Works efficiently during discussions
Holds each other accountable
Maintains clarity on decisions and next steps
5. Management & Planning
A well-structured team works smarter.
This area evaluates whether the team:
Defines topics clearly and concretely
Plans effectively and organizes work
Reaches clear conclusions
Allocates tasks based on competence and capacity
Where “We” and “I” meet
Teams function best when the individual (“I”) and the collective (“We”) are both recognized and valued.
Team Appraisals examines these two foundational areas to ensure the team has what it needs to truly work as one unit.
I-Acknowledgement
A strong team begins with strong individuals.
This foundation ensures that each person:
Feels there is space for them in the team
Knows their own strengths and weaknesses
Understands and acknowledges the strengths of others
Feels respected and valued
Accepts their role and strives to develop
Views conflict as a natural part of improvement
Shares responsibility for the group’s relationships
We-Acknowledgement
Teams win when everyone pulls together.
This foundation ensures that the team collectively:
Recognizes their interdependence
Operates from shared values and rules of engagement
Has a strong common vision
Understands responsibilities and competencies
Knows what success looks like
Understands external challenges and obstacles
