Everything you need to know about how to conduct the Right-Minded Teamwork’s 9 Right Choices Survey is right here!
What is the 9 Right Choices Team Survey?
The 9 Right Choices Team Survey is a 9 question perception survey.
It aligns with the 9 choices presented in the Right-Minded Team Building book.
There are two good reasons for using this survey:
- It helps the team identify the best outcomes to address in the team-building workshop.
- It is an excellent scorecard for tracking actual teamwork progress. We recommend conducting it every 3 months.
The summary results help to reinforce positive teamwork gains and to spot negative trends before they become toxic. A valuable teamwork tool, indeed!
Conducting the 9 Right Choice Team Survey
The simplest and fastest way to conduct the survey is in a team meeting, where you’ll ask all team members to complete their questionnaire.
Ask teammates also to provide constructive comments, which will help to clarify the scores and identify the best outcomes to address in the next workshop.
Let teammates know everyone will receive a copy of the summary results.
Analyzing and Using Survey Results
Instructions for how to calculate your team’s score are in the download materials.
This survey measures a team’s collective perception of their current state. It is straightforward to administer and interpret. It’s very worthwhile.
The Numbers
Scores fall into three categories.
- 15 or less: Your team is functioning far below potential.
- 16–22: Your team is doing okay but is still working below potential.
- 23–27: Your team is doing fine, but you must agree on how to keep it that way.
The Comments
As for teammate comments, create groups of similar remarks. If a majority say the same thing, you have found a common theme and a common team-building issue to address in the workshop.
If you are following the 12 Step Right-Minded team building design process, you will survey in step 6. The survey results will help you identify team issues to address.
As for when to give teammates a copy of the results, it’s typically best to wait until the workshop.
