CTEF 2.0 - Assessment and Improvement of Command Team Effectiveness: Verification of Model and Instrument (CTEF 2.0 - Diagnostic et Amelioration de l'Efficacite d'un Team de Commandement: Verification du Modele et de l'Instrument)

摘要

Effective teamwork is a critical mission success factor. The objective of this study is to support leaders and their teams or staffs in achieving effective team performance (commander-staff and commander- subcommander teams at operational and tactical command levels). The CTEF 2.0 model represents the scientific, empirical and theoretical consensus that effective teamwork is the result of Conditions, Processes, Outcomes and Feedback factors. Based on this model, an assessment instrument for commander and staff teams was constructed in the form of a questionnaire, which can then be used to discuss low and high performance during team evaluations. CTEF 2.0 was developed from an earlier study (RTO AC/323(HFM-087)TP/59), from several operational assessments, and from a survey version of the instrument administered in several NATO countries. The survey showed that operational usability of the model and the instrument was considered by 718 military commanders from 14 nations as high: 70% of respondents either 'agreed' or 'completely agreed' that the instrument addresses the important aspects of command teams; approximately 80% of respondents also indicated that they would be willing to use the CTEF instrument in educational, training, or operational settings.
