Leader Trustworthiness Self-Assessment

Building sustainable long-term trust is essential for anyone who manages, leads or hopes to lead people.

In times of uncertainty and rapid change, it is even more important that leaders are aware of the ways in which they demonstrate their trustworthiness and ways in which they demonstrate the opposite — being untrustworthy. Use this self-assessment to better understand your leadership present and get insight into areas to strengthen.

Identifying and Developing High Potential Staff

Managers easily mistake high-performing employees as high-potential. This mistake can have a high cost to the organization.

The first step in assessing if employees fall into High Performance or High Potential is to define which behaviors and attitudes are required for excellence in management and leadership in your department and organization. You must be very intentional in communicating these behaviors and attitudes consistently and as often as possible.

Because employees show up with varying skills, you can use this guide to distinguish between Low and High Performance and Low and High Potential.

Creating Behavior Norms

Behavior norms address the more nuanced topic of how we, as a team or workgroup, agree to show up to do our work, and what we can expect from each other, outside of the formal rules.

The process of discussing behavior norms, sharing perspectives, and talking about why each one is valuable, is more important than the actual words used to describe the norm itself. Use this guide I use with clients to establish your own norms.
