Creating a SHARED PATH to HIGH PERFORMANCE
The Team Trust Survey is a free tool you can use to find out how trust -- or the lack of it -- affects the way people engage, decide, produce, innovate, and share in one another's success.
Download the Survey, learn about it on this website, and share it with your colleagues. Start the conversation.
Explore the survey with your teammates to answer questions such as:
-
Our team is performing acceptably. So how do we begin to take our team to its full potentials?
-
We are consciously working to build our trust levels and team performance. What will help us the most?
-
We are already an extraordinary team. Where can we go from here?
-
We have conflicts, disrespect, and "undiscussables" causing tension for us. What can we do about it?
-
The situation is out of control and we feel 'dysfunctional.' Now what?
Basic instructions for how to take the survey are included in the survey document. You can also access the Video Tutorials and FAQ sections of this website for additional information on:
• how to rate and score the survey.
• how to interpret the survey results
• how to engage a team in productive discussions about trust
In addition, check out the Team Trust Survey Workbook as a helpful tool to start your team development effort and keep it going — while the Reaching Out to Build Trust section provides guidance to help you start a one-on-one trust building conversation.
The survey is a pdf document that takes only a few minutes to complete, then self-populates your ratings into a score sheet that you can save and print.
Please Note: While you can review the survey as a webpage, it will not self-populate or save your ratings -- you must download and reopen the survey in a pdf reader first.
(If you need a free pdf reader, you can get Adobe Reader here.)
Your privacy is protected. No data entered onto the form is preserved on this or any other site. If you like, you can download a manual pdf version of the survey suitable to print and complete by hand -- simply access the link on page 3 of the self-populating version you can download.
