2.2 - Fundamentals of Team Effectiveness
Fundamental building blocks required for effective team processes to emerge and for team effectiveness
(output, viability, individual development)
→ Compelling Direction: a common goal that is clear, attainable and a shared understanding?
→ Strong Structure: team consists of the right people (balance of skills, diversity), and has optimally
distributed tasks. do we have the right member and mix of members? do we know who's doing what?
→ Supportive context: do we have necessary resources and training? appropriate rewards and
reward structure?
→ Expert coaching: whether the supervisors can create discussions needed to tackle problems
, Real Team has also historically been a fundamental building block
replaced in team effectiveness 2.0 by Shared Mindset
do we readily share info with one another?
do team members have a strong common identity and feel like one team?
2 facets of Shared Mindset
Shared mental models
Team members’ shared understanding and mental representation about key elements of the team’s
relevant environment
Areas
Task model (context, goals, strategies, plans)
Equipment model (tools, technology, resources)
Team model (members’ skills, values, habits)
Teamwork model (responsibilities, interdependencies)
Lead to team members interpreting information similarly, sharing expectations about future events →
Makes implicit coordination possible
