1. GENERAL COLLABORATION
ASSESSMENT
PEOPLE. PERFORMANCE. PROFITABILITY.
1 On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 indicating "this is nothing like me" and 10 indicating "I do this consistently"), circle the
number corresponding to the accuracy of the following statements compared to how well you function in a
collaborative effort:
Either alone, or with the group, gaps in knowledge or expertise are
identified on my team at the start of the collaborative effort.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I persist to fill the necessary gaps before continuing with the
collaborative effort.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I am open and reflective of others' ideas. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I am open to constructive criticism and feedback (especially 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
suggestions on ways to make what's "on the table" even better).
I regularly thank others for their input, feedback and contributions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
In any collaborative effort, I call anyone out for not collaborating in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
good faith or in a professional manner.
I fully accept and appreciate "intellectual economies of scale" - two (or 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
more heads) are better than one.
I seek out differing points of view to get the most comprehensive 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
overview of any project upon which I'm collaborating.
I work hard to break the 80:20 rule on commitment and contributions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- to level out the majority of work and input to come from more than
just 20% of the people.
I define collaborative "stars" as those who contribute and help the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
most, not just who talks the most.
2 Add up your total, giving yourself one point per the rating you assess yourself for each question. For example,
an answer of 8 equals 8 points. (Please note: the highest possible score is 100. If you scored that, please contact our
team - we'd love to interview you for our member site!)
My “general collaboration” score is:
3 Since none of us can work on all 10 of these at once, below list the top three you think would have the most
impact to strengthen your general collaborative skills. Make a plan and put it to use for at least 30 days. Keep a
running log of your progress, any obstacles you encounter and be sure to include any feedback (you're asking,
right?) from your teammates.
