About this process

Great teams are built on two things — safety and accountability. Where Does Your Team Sit? Use this Survey to help you understand it.

The process in detail

10 steps
  1. 1

    I feel safe admitting a mistake on this team. 💥

  2. 2

    🗯👍 People here speak up when they have ideas, concerns, or feedback.

  3. 3

    😲🤔 I feel comfortable challenging a decision or asking tough questions.

  4. 4

    👉✍ I know what's expected of me, and those expectations are clear and followed through.

  5. 5

    When things go wrong, we focus on learning — not blaming.

  6. 6

    ✔✔ I take initiative without needing to be told what to do.

  7. 7

    🧠 I feel appropriately challenged in my role.

  8. 8

    There’s room to grow, stretch, and try new things here — even if they don’t work perfectly.

  9. 9

    What’s one thing you’re afraid to say out loud at work? (Open-ended)

🎯 How to Use the Responses:

Once you collect the data, map it to these 4 Zones:

Zone Symptoms You’ll See If scores show…

😴 Apathy Low energy, silence, “just doing the job” Low motivation + low safety

🛋️ Comfort Good vibes, no urgency, little growth High safety + low challenge

😰 Anxiety Fear of speaking up, passive behavior Low safety + high pressure

🚀 Learning Open feedback, risk-taking, energy High safety + high challenge
