If you are not getting the results you want from your team, even though your own work is getting done, than are you really leading? And if you are purely managing, rather than leading, aren’t you missing out on opportunities for growth, acknowledgment and promotions?
Here’s a brief quiz to help you figure out how well you are leading.
1. Has your team surpassed its goals?
2. Is your opinion sought out from colleagues in similar positions?
3. Is your team cohesive as a unit?
4. Do the individuals on your team perform to the best of their abilities?
5. Do the individuals on your team stay working with you unless they are promoted or leave for a better opportunity?
6. Do your colleagues at work sometimes ask you how you got someone to do an undesirable task without complaining?
7. Are you invited to participate in special projects based on your unique perspective and contributions?
8. Do you have a vision for your department that is clear, bold and in line with company values?
9. Do you discipline and let poor performers go rather than hanging on to them because it’s easier sometimes?
10. Are you accessible both to your team and your superiors rather than staying behind your office door and hoping no one bothers you?
If you answered “YES” to all 10 questions than you are doing great as a leader. If you answered “NO” to any of the questions and want to turn that around to a YES than you are in luck.
