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