What's your leadership style?

1-4 — I make the big decisions, and they take care of the busy work. When my employees prove themselves responsible, then *and ONLY THEN* will they earn my trust.

5-7 — It makes me a bit nervous, but I DO let them take charge now and then. I want my workers to feel like they're important pieces of the puzzle that is my company 🧩💲🙌

8-10 — I empower my team by giving them opportunities to exercise their decision-making skills. If I thought they weren't capable, I wouldn't have hired them in the first place.

I tell them, then I tell them again LOUDER... They know if they fall short, there're thousands of other qualified folks to fill their positions.

I let them know that we're all in this together. Team work makes the dream work, am I right? Plus I kind of like getting my hands dirty.

My office doors are open – I make myself available to give them the guidance they need to not just meet, but exceed their goals. I'm a one-stop support shop.

I delegate tasks to help my team to reach its goal. It lets them know they're all equal, and everyone has to carry their fair share of responsibility. 

I invite them into my office for a cup of coffee, then I share my own relationship story to make them feel better. If they know I've experienced something similar, maybe it'll inspire them to pick themselves back up.

What's happening off-the-clock in my employees' lives is none of my business. I tell them loudly and proudly that they need to start bringing their A game into the office ASAP. 

I encourage their closest coworkers to give the employee a pep talk. I don't have the time to unpack my team's emotional baggage, but I'm not about to punish someone for how they're feeling...

I grab a seat at their desk, and, together, we come up with a plan to get them on track. I'm willing to give my employees whatever they need to bounce back from challenging circumstances. 

I create it all by myself – hey, I'm the boss for a reason. I know what works and what REALLY doesn't.

I ask my employees for their insights before finalizing anything. Those guys 'n gals have the best ideas 💡💥

I tell my team to take the wheel! I want to see what crazy amazing creative strategies they come up with.

I assign a different task to everyone on my team – I know their work will come together wonderfully.

I don't... My team doesn't need rewards to perform at the top of its game. Even my most creative employees are subject to the same protocols as everyone else.

I give them freedom! They're allowed to take more initiative and continue to prove themselves in new, inspiring ways.

I allow them to step up into a more managerial position. They help me decide how to delegate tasks – after all, they probably know their coworkers better than I do.

I sit with them for the first few hours to ensure they can keep up with my office's pace. They've got to know there're high-standards in place 🤷

I invite them to a meeting with the department heads. First order of business, get comfortable with your co-workers.

I let them dive right in! Doing = learning. Plus I don't want to give them cold sweats with an intense training session right off the bat...

I tell them to get the heck over it! Hellooo, we've got deadlines to meet... 

I speak to them both separately to get a better sense of their conflict, then I guide them towards a resolution.

I assign them to desks on opposite sides of the office – maybe if they just don't see one another, the conflict will solve itself.

I set up a meeting for the three of us, so we can get everything out on the table.

I send everyone on my team a list of tasks to get done ASAP –PLUS I get them to give me a status update every hour.

I make sure my employees know exactly how much time we've got to work with. I trust them to get the job done.

I ask my high-performing team members for their opinions. Sometimes it's best to admit when you don't have the answer.

I can't help but lose my cool. I just don't understand why it's SO impossible for people to get their work done on time...
