Effective vs. Ineffective

Below is a chart that I created showing you the differences between an effective team vs. and ineffective team...

Effective	Vs.	Ineffective
Goals:
·      Objective of the team is well understood ·      Accepted by all team members		·      Goals are not clear ·      Team members are not on the same page
Contribution of Team Members:
·      Lots of discussion ·      All members participate and attend meetings ·      Discussions are on topic		·      A few dominate discussion ·      Members don’t participate or attend meetings ·      Discussion is off point
Listening:
·      Everyone listens to each other when speaking ·      Everyone allows one to speak		·      Members don’t listen to each other ·      Ideas ignored or are over ridden by others
Conflict Resolution:
·      When disagreement occurs, members work together on resolving problems ·      No one avoids conflict		·      Issues get larger ·      Members avoid conflict, nothing gets resolved
Decision Making:
·      Decisions are usually raised by consensus ·      General agreement		·      Actions aren’t taken properly ·      No decision is made ·      No agreement in decision
Leadership:
·      Chairperson of group does not dominate ·      All roles are equal ·      Leadership changed depending on tasks		·      No leadership ·      Leader dominates ·      Leader is too weak or too strong
Self-Evaluation:
·      Members work as a team ·      No “I”, all members rewarded		·      Group avoids any discussion of its own maintenance
Division of Work:
·      Members all have dedicated roles ·      Roles are clear ·      Work is evenly distributed		·      Roles are not given, assignments are unclear ·      One or two of the members do majority of the work
