Assessing Team Health and Leadership Effectiveness

We’re excited to introduce two new tools for assessing team health and leadership effectiveness. These tools are proprietary to Vital Growth Consulting Group LLC and not available elsewhere.

The first is our Organizational and Relationship Intelligence Survey. It is a unique 360-degree feedback tool with the feature of multiple leaders being rated at the same time. Simply put, this tool identifies who on a team has to most work to do to improve their interaction with other members of the team. Or, even more simply, this tool identifies who’s holding a team hostage with their attitude and behavior.

The second is our Cohesiveness Rating System for teams. This tool takes photos during a team meeting (around a table–see photo below) and, using a Microsoft Emotion API, detects individual’s emotions and the level of emotional agreement among team members. Leaders of teams can use this tool to assess the level of cohesiveness of a team as well as the overall emotional tone of any meeting the tool is used in.

We have used the Organizational and Relationship Survey tool in multiple organizations during the past year. We often combine it with a Team Emotional Health survey based on the work of Patrick Lencioni (of Five Dysfunctions of a Team fame).

In contrast, the Cohesiveness Rating System is fresh out of the lab and ready for trials.

For a limited time, we are willing to implement both the tools featured in this email message at your organization at no cost. In particular, we are looking for organizations willing to participate in the fine-tuning and development of our Cohesiveness Rating System for teams. Please contact us if you have an interest in using one or both of these tools in your organization. Thanks for the consideration in any event.

As always, let us know if you have questions.
