performance.

However, these three areas of
performance, are all directly
impacted by how effective your
teamwork is.
34. In a recent survey*, I asked the
following question.
“Does your team measure the
effectiveness of your teamwork?”
*Survey completed via LinkedIn, in August 2023 based on 292 responses from UK organisations.
They don’t because they don’t
realise that it can be measured.
8 out of 10
teams don’t!
38. Key Themes

to produce the Our Team Synergy Report.

working well and what the team perceived
as areas of challenge.
We then undertook some facilitated sessions

challenges.
