Assessments and profiles can be utilized independently or as a tool to maximize the effectiveness of any of our programs.Assessment Tools
An assessment can be anything that is assessed or observed, and is often used to look at traits of an organization or team. lapdog commonly utilizes two types of assessment tools:Team Effectiveness Questionnaire (TEQ)
Developed by Dr. Matt Starcevich, the TEQ utilizes 50 true/false questions in five areas of team effectiveness to assess your team’s strengths and weaknesses. The results of an assessment tell us about the current climate in a team environment which will guide us in the development of your program.Team direction, leadership, atmosphere, structure/resources, and processes are assessed before a team building or team development initiative, as part of the actual initiative, or as a follow-up assessment of progress. While the TEQ can be helpful in and of itself, it is most useful when it precedes facilitated sessions. The TEQ is available on-line or in paper format.
