TEAM ALIGNMENT SURVEY
The Team Alignment Survey is developed by the Integro Leadership Institute.
Trust is clearly an essential foundation for effective teamwork. It
is equally important, however, for the team to be in alignment
on the direction in which it is going, and on the outcomes it is
aiming to achieve.
These are indeed the two essential underlying factors determining
team success: trust and alignment.
Trust is the Biggest Barrier to Achieving Alignment
Thirty years of research conducted by Intégro Leadership Institute on hundreds of teams
around the world clearly shows that teams that lack alignment also suffer from a low level of
trust. For that reason, they designed the Team Alignment Survey to measure both the
level of trust within the team, and the degree to which team members are in alignment.
Most people are trustworthy: honest, ethical people who come to work with the intention of
making a positive contribution. So naturally they assume they will be trusted. But the reality
is that trust in many teams is low, despite the fact that the team members are predominantly
trustworthy.
There are two sections to the Team Alignment Survey report:
SECTION 1 Team Alignment Report: measures the degree to which team members are in alignment on their Purpose, Values, Vision, Goals, Procedures and Roles.
SECTION 2 The Team Trust Report: measures the degree to which team members perceive
the Elements of Trust™, and the values that support them, to be present in the team.
