4D TDA Team Development Assessment

This Team Development Assessment measures your team’s behavioral norms. It is a developmental tool, not a performance evaluation. Think of it like a routine medical check‑up. All responses remain anonymous. Individual answers cannot be traced back to any single person.

This assessment measures eight key behaviors across the four 4‑D dimensions. Each behavior includes:

  1. 1 A brief explanation of why this behavior matters for team performance.
  2. 2 A clear performance standard that defines “meeting the standard.”
  3. 3 Rating choices for how well your team meets that standard.

Please evaluate your team’s typical day‑to‑day behavioral norms, not best‑case or worst‑case moments. Answer based on your real‑world observations of how the team actually behaves. Do not answer based on written policies or how you wish the team would behave.
