Imagine the same game played without the voices, that is, without the assessment. You wouldn't know how to adjust your movements to reach the target. You would never know if you won the game. The reality is that assessment is an essential, integral step in the improvement cycle. They focus a team on learning, improving performance and reaching their potential.
Assessments are the feedback that every system needs in order to be productive and grow.
There may be one or more reasons. Assessments may be perceived as non-productive and time consuming. Assessments may reveal uncomfortable truths about the team, its decisions and its actions. For many, assessments remain linked to disempowering grade school years when grades represented rank among peers, in the eyes of the instructor. It can be challenging to integrate assessment tasks into every team member's everyday thinking habits.
