Editor, Legacy Magazine<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThe power of a team comes from the power of the individual to expand beyond a limited self to include others in the health and well-being of that team. Here is a fun, introspective and HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC measure to see where you stand as a team player living at the team level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give yourself a rating of 1 – 10 on each point below, wherein 1 is the lowest mark and 10 is the highest mark. At a 10, you would be in full agreement with the statement. There are no right or wrong answers. Only gut truth, and then of course a ratings guide at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<\/h2><\/strong>
<\/li>- I make sure to attend a team meeting when I’m in town and when I don’t have a previous commitment, rather than looking for an excuse whenever I’m not in the mood to attend a meeting in person.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<\/h2><\/strong>
<\/li>- When not attending a team meeting in person, for whatever reason, I still contribute to the well-being of the team in some way, shape or form, either with some contribution to the team meeting or in a supportive way during the week.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<\/h2><\/strong>

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<\/h2><\/strong>
<\/li>- I return a call from a teammate in an expedient time-frame, whether there is a standard around that or not, because I realize the relationship, the continued connection and the transfer of information is vital for a successful team.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<\/h2><\/strong>
<\/li>- I hold team standards so that we can all stay aligned and cohesive, rather than for the reason I don’t want to do pushups.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<\/h2><\/strong>
<\/li>- In choosing a team meeting date, I consider ways in which we can all find an agreeable solution together, rather than defending my individual calendar and what doesn’t work for me.

ASSESSMENT GRID<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
121 – 150 <\/strong>– You are a stud, and should already have trophies from school sports. Or you are at the top of believing your own bullshit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
91 – 120 <\/strong> – You are a man others can rely on, and bring a strong backbone for any team. Or you cheated your way through high school too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
61 – 90<\/strong> – In replying “yes” to any request for help, men will have a backup plan B that will include you flaking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
