ABSTRACT
Team Blockage Questionnaire metric provides a framework for assessing the performance of teams and helps to identify where team development would be beneficial. It will help a team to discover which of ten potential blockages may be inhibiting the team's performance. This chapter provides a model of effective and ineffective teamwork and a structure for a team review session. It helps to enable the members of a team to identify where they are blocked and in which areas team development is likely to be beneficial. All participants will require a copy of the 'Questionnaire' together with 'Scoring' and 'Overcoming Blockages to Effective Teamwork'. Teams are the building blocks of organizations. Teamwork is a core competence in organizations. It helps them to evolve like a biological system, using shared knowledge as a crucial resource. On the journey from immaturity to a team becoming mature and effective, it often happens that progress is blocked.
