Extraordinay Teams Index

  • Extraordinary Teams achieve Outstanding Results while providing opportunities for Personal Transformation.

  • The ETI 2.0 is a statistically valid and reliable online team assessment tool. It allows team members to assess their teamwork in relation to ten Practices of Extraordinary Teams—elements that, when combined, create an extraordinary team experience. These components have been identified through ongoing field work and subsequent testing since 2009. When team members debrief their ETI 2.0 results, they have the opportunity to achieve the following:

    -Gain new understanding and insights about the power of teamwork. ƒ

    -More deeply understand their own team dynamics.

    -Decide whether or not to take action to increase their team’s capacity. ƒ

    -Plan the actions that will help them to do so.

  • The ETI measures ten Practices of Extraordinary Teams:

    1. Outstanding Results

    2. Great Meetings

    3. Personal Transformation

    4. Compelling Purpose

    5. Embracing Difference

    6. Full Engagement

    7. Shared Leadership

    8. Genuine Curiosity

    9. Strong Relationships

    10. Adaptive Structure

    These ten Practices create a profile of an exceptional group. Each team that takes the ETI 2.0 will be compared to a research norm base to determine if they are Ordinary, Solid, or Extraordinary on each of the ten Practices and in an overall score that includes all ten.

    The scores and ratings are automatically calculated after all team members have completed the online assessment. The report only shows average team ratings, so individual team member input is anonymous.

  • There are 60 questions in the ETI 2.0 plus two demographic questions that are not scored. All questions are multiple choice. Most people complete the online assessment in about 20 minutes.

  • Many team assessments and development programs focus on high performance related to outcomes. Great results are part of the Extraordinary Teams research and are measured by the ETI. Research has revealed, however, that for a team to be truly extraordinary, an often-overlooked dimension is essential: personal transformation due to the quality of the team experience. Members of Extraordinary Teams report being positively changed by the team experience, with increases in knowledge, skills, confidence, and sense of community.

Q12+ Engagement Survey

Revolutionize Employee Engagement with Gallup

For far too long, employee engagement has been either misunderstood or overlooked by employers. But Gallup has cracked the code. They've distilled years of research and feedback from over 2.7 million workers across 100,000+ teams into a set of 12 powerful survey questions. These questions are the gold standard for measuring employee engagement.

  • Their research spans more than 50 diverse industries, encompassing a wide range of worker types and workplaces. The result of this exhaustive effort is the Gallup 12-item engagement survey, commonly known as the "Q12." It's a reflection of our deep understanding of what employees need to thrive and excel.

  • The Q12 survey isn't just a list of questions. It's a roadmap to better performance outcomes. It equips managers with a structured approach to engage in meaningful conversations with their teams, motivating them to perform at their best.

  • With the survey, you don't operate in isolation. You can compare your results with other organizations and teams within our extensive database. This benchmarking capability provides invaluable insights into your performance and areas for improvement.

  • The Q12 survey is based on 12 fundamental employee needs. Meeting these needs is the key to unlocking higher productivity and engagement. These are the 12 essentials that form the backbone of Gallup's engagement survey:

    1. I know what is expected of me at work.

    2. I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right.

    3. At work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day.

    4. In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work.

    5. My supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about me as a person.

    6. There is someone at work who encourages my development.

    7. At work, my opinions seem to count.

    8. The mission or purpose of my company makes me feel my job is important.

    9. My associates or fellow employees are committed to doing quality work.

    10. I have a best friend at work.

    11. In the last six months, someone at work has talked to me about my progress.

    12. This last year, I have had opportunities at work to learn and grow.

  • The goal of the Q12 engagement survey is not to check a box; it's to initiate meaningful conversations between managers and their teams. It empowers employees to express their needs, enabling managers to pinpoint areas where they can make a difference.

  • Choose the option that suits your organization best. Whether you prefer a traditional approach or a tech-savvy solution, remember that the survey is just the beginning. It's the launchpad for a journey toward higher engagement, performance, and success.

    Elevate your employee engagement to new heights with Gallup's Q12 survey. It's not just a survey; it's a catalyst for transformative change in your organization.
