Think about the last three months with your team. How often has each of these been true of what you actually did?

  1. I explain where the team is heading and why it matters, then leave people to decide how to get there.
  2. I set the standard by doing the work fast and well myself, and I expect others to keep up.
  3. I help people see their own strengths and weak spots and connect them to where they want their career to go.
  4. When the task and how people feel pull in different directions, I put the people first.
  5. When something goes wrong, I tell people exactly what to do and expect it done without debate.
  6. Before I decide something that affects the team, I ask for their views and let them change my mind.
  7. I hand people stretch work even when it means the job gets done more slowly this time.
  8. When I give feedback, I tie it back to the bigger goal we are working toward.
  9. I make the call myself and announce it, rather than asking for opinions first.
  10. When someone falls behind, I take the work back and do it myself.
  11. I run meetings where the team reaches the decision together and I mostly listen.
  12. I make time to celebrate wins and to check how people are doing outside the work itself.
  13. I spot weak performance quickly and expect people to fix it without much guidance from me.
  14. When morale is low or two people are at odds, my first move is to repair the relationship.
  15. I can describe what success looks like a year from now, and my team can repeat it back to me.
  16. I point out mistakes directly and make clear what will happen if they repeat.
  17. When I am not sure of the right direction, I ask the people closest to the work before I choose.
  18. In one-on-ones I ask more questions than I answer, so people work out their own next step.
