Is your team up to the job regardless of whether you are the head of a nursery or a national sports team. Whether you want to set up a company or fundraising committee you'll be asking yourself the same questions do I have the right people for this project? do the skills correspond to our goals? are we capable of doing what we want to do?
The team model will help you to judge your team beginning by defining the skills expertise and resources that you think are important for carrying out the project.
Note the skills that are absolutely necessary for the job distinguish between soft skills
EG loyalty, motivation, reliability and hard skills EG computer business and foreign language ability.
For each skill define where your critical boundaries lie on a scale of 0 to 10 for example an acceptable level of fluency in French might be 5/10. Judge your players according to these criteria, connect the point with a line. What are the teams weaknesses and what are their strengths? even more revealing than the model itself is a subsequent self-evaluation by the team members. A good team is one that can correctly judge's own capabilities. Beware real strengths lie in differences not similarity. The best executive is the one who has sent good enough men to pick men who do what he wants done.
