Q. Leadership and Team Diagnostics
If you were to choose a diagnostic for leaders and for teams to gain great insight into their patterns of behavior - what would be your criteria?
My first choice would be to define the criteria for the team and then for the respective leader. If the team is in great form, half the battle is won in advance.
The diagnostic for the team should be able to answer the following key questions:
1) Do team members individually and collectively behave in a way that is consistent with the values of the organization?
2) If yes, under what circumstances would it hold good and what are the derailers?
3) Given the business environment, does the team collectively display behaviors that would more or less ensure successful completion of critical organizational goals?
In summary, is the team the RIGHT team to take the organization from point A to point B under current circumstances?
Based on the insights from the above questions, the diagnostic for the leader should be able to answer the following questions:
1) Does the leader behave in a manner that propels the said team towards goal attainment or away from it?
2) If circumstances turn unfavorable, would the leader still be able to steer the team towards success?
3) Most importantly... does the leader 'walk the talk'?
