Instructions: Each team member completes the survey while considering the last three team meetings. Items on the left are examples of low levels of team functioning, while corresponding items on the right represent high levels of team functioning. Select the appropriate number on the scale between the items to indicate the observed level of team functioning. A team composite report with aggregated data is automatically generated once multiple team members have completed the scale.
