What leadership assessments don’t tell you
<p>“That’s just my leadership style.”</p>
<p>You’ve taken over as the leader of a team in an organization in crisis. There is a definite sense of urgency — if things don’t change quickly, the financial consequences will be disastrous. But you know what to do. You jump into action, telling your team what needs to happen in order for things to get better. Every week, you get together to review what still needs to get done, stressing the urgency of everyone putting in the work.</p>
<p>At first, everyone seems on board, and they agree to take on tasks and even offer up additional ideas they think will help. But over time, things change. Progress slows, team members stop offering input, participation in the work and the meetings dwindles. You get the sense that the team members are unhappy, so you begin offering encouraging speeches at the beginning of the review meetings, but it doesn’t seem to help — people are still not engaging.</p>
