LeadershipEffects

Are we being effective as leaders?  Good question.  

Here are some questions to discern our effectiveness in leading:

• Have we made the mission crystal clear?
• Do followers feel that pursuit is noble and worthy?
• Are team members given the autonomy to optimize their talents/gifts in pursuit of the mission?
• Do the folks we engage with everyday feel empowered by having interacted with us?
• Do followers hear specific recognition/praise/affirmation from us regularly? 
• Would others describe us a powerful listeners?
• Is there a culture of caring in our organization?
• Have we provided the resources folks need to pursue the mission?

Since those are all yes/no questions, it's not hard to "score" ourselves in leadership effectiveness.

Regardless of today's score, we can improve it by tomorrow.
