Team Principles Survey Template
Have your team reflect on a set of values to live by and on how they want to work.
Team Principles Survey Overview
Team principles are the unspoken rules and shared beliefs that shape how people collaborate, make decisions, and resolve conflict. When those principles are clear and embraced by everyone, they create a foundation for trust, autonomy, and accountability. The Team Principles template helps you uncover how well your team understands and lives those values and where there’s room to realign.
In just 8 minutes, this 7-question survey explores what team members believe about how work gets done: What do they prioritize? What behaviors are rewarded? Where do norms need to evolve? With a mix of multiple choice and open-ended questions, it provides both measurable insights and thoughtful feedback you can act on.
Ideal for team leads, project managers, and people ops professionals, this template is especially useful during moments of growth, restructuring, or new team formation. Use it to initiate meaningful conversations, reset expectations, or co-create principles that reflect your current reality, not just your aspirations.
When your team is aligned on how you work, not just what you’re working toward, everything runs smoother, faster, and with more purpose.
