Are You a High-Performance Leader?

Are You a High-Performance Leader?

High-performance leaders are a breed apart. They know that they are paid to produce results through and with others, so they make sure that their behavior energizes and empowers members of their team. How well do you stack up against our criteria for high-performance leadership? Take the following brief quiz to find out. Answer yes, no, or I don’t know to each of the following questions:

  1. I have given my team members clear, measurable goals.
  2. My team’s goals/priorities are in alignment with our organization’s business strategy.
  3. I have made sure that my team members are clear about their own and each others’ roles and responsibilities.
  4. I require my team members to put winning for the team ahead of functional self-interest.
  5. I have put aside the old leadership story that as the leader I am paid to make the decisions.
  6. I have made sure that we have a clear, agreed-upon process in place for decision making: who will make which decisions and how.
  7. We have clear, agreed-upon protocols for resolving issues and conflict.
  8. I expect team members to hold one another—and me—accountable for results.
  9. I adjust my leadership behavior—directing, coaching, collaborating, delegating—according to team members’ and situational needs.
  10. When I look at my team, I don’t see followers; I see a team of leaders.
