Work teams can be powerful tools for productivity, but they lose impact when dysfunction affects five critical areas. Diagnose your team's health by examining how well your team performs on each of the following:

1. Trust and ability to be vulnerable with one another.
2. Ability to share and offer ideas freely, without inhibitions, and with acceptance.
3. Forming a consensus, identifying a project, and pursuing it to completion, with each member feeling important to its successful outcome.
4. Silence is shunned and speaking up is a group tradition when a member is performing under par
5. Achievements are shared
