How
do your team members view you as a leader?
Below are ten basic roles of
a team leader. How do your
team members see you?
Below are ten basic roles of
a team leader. Indeed, a
leader can be many things to many different people in many different
circumstances. For purposes
of this self reflection exercise, assume that individual team members
see you predominantly in one role. Then
break down the percentages, 10% see you as an referee, 25% see you as a
visionary, etc.
In the “leader” column,
identify the percentage of your job that is spent in the various roles
as you experience it. Again,
for purposes of reflection you will have to generalize.
