Appendix D - Diagnosis of Team Building Needs
In order to determine what kinds of growth should be planned for a team, the following two page survey can be employed to assess the current status of group behaviors after viewing "First Ascent" from Pyramid Films (213)828-7577. After individuals have completed the survey, group results should be discussed in order to identify the 3-4 strategies the group wishes to emphasize as it proceeds during the next six months. The process should be repeated every six months to maintain growth.
