Step 1: Draw Your Team
Download the provided Handout: My Team Map (PDF)
Part I. Create a snapshot of how you view the team at this moment in time.
- The circle on the page represents your team. The middle of that circle is the heart of the team.
- Draw a triangle where you see yourself in relation to the heart of the team.
- Draw a triangle for each person on your team where you see them in relation to the heart of the team and to you. You can include names or initials in the triangles to help you differentiate people.
- Draw squares to represent significant factors or events impacting the team. You can identify those factors or events as well.
- Draw bonds between yourself and each person or event. Use the provided key to draw the correct type of line that represents a weak, average, strong, or conflict relationship.
- Review your drawing.
- What do you notice?
- What would you like to see change?
Part II.Create a snapshot of how you would like your team to be.
- Once you have reflected, use another blank handout to re-draw your team the way you would like it to be.
- Review that second drawing and reflect on what is different about it.
The example below is just that, one person’s way of viewing their team how it is and how they want it to be. You should draw your own view of your team.
