1. Reward System – 16
2. Organizational clarity – 15
3. Standards of Performance – 14
4. Warmth and Support – 18
5. Leadership – 14
6. Communication – 18
7. Innovation – 12
8. Feedback and Controls – 10
9. Teamwork – 15
10. Involvement – 8
Score 14 – Supportive
It is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of an organization or group. It helps to see what we can do more of or less of to improve ourselves. The more enjoyable the experience is the more people will look forward to participating, and if they are excited about it then they will more likely do their best work! That is direct evidence that happy employees/group members lead to a successful business/group.
I found the questionnaire to be very useful, and the questions were thorough and on point. I used my family, once again, as my group when answering the questions. Most of my answers were rated quite high, so my score was pretty high as well. We were in the supportive category. I was impressed with that! Since it is a family, there is quite a bit of warmth and support, and we definitely have good communication in my house. I will help motivate them to keep up what we are doing right.
Now I do have to consider what we can do to help raise our score to become a better functioning group. The lowest score was the involvement, and that isn’t going to become a high number, because I can’t let my children run our household. I can try and listen to what their opinions are and take things into consideration more. Even with this being our lowest score, I still think we are a high functioning, successful group.
I think there is always room for improvement, so I have come up with a few steps to take to help motivate us into the right direction. My best plan is to organize a group meeting once a week or biweekly, to gather all thoughts and ideas. We could implement a secret suggestion box, in case they want to remain
