I LOVE this model. Once you learn it, you can’t unsee it happening in your own or in your friends workplaces. What’s the missing piece in your workplace?

Who’s seen this? This is a model for leaders managing multiple tasks and people. What’s useful to see it drawn out is the fact that so many people don’t realise what they’re neglecting until it is visually represented. The way I see it is that for every circle that is removed (not looked after), the others become smaller/less efficient. Leaders need to find a balance. What’s your thoughts? Does your boss focus on the task over the team and individual?

'The leader trusts the follower to act within the stated intent and direction given, while the follower trusts the leader to provide the support, resources and over-arching command responsibility for the task at hand.' Trust and micromanaging cannot coexist. Is there trust within your team or is this a work-in-progress?

LAST ONE S- Strive for team goals. Prioritise collective objectives over individual ones. What’s our thoughts on this one? I feel maybe parking individuals goals isn’t the best way to get the most out of a team. If they don’t feel valued, this might end up being counter productive in the end.

D- Demand High Performance. Soldiering is a high stakes game, it can literally be a case of life or death. High performance isn’t therefore desirable it is critical. Leaders must have high performance expectations and communicate them to their teams. While many workplaces might not be life or death, demanding high performance is critical. You want your subordinates to have a sense of pride in where they work. How do you communicate your expectations to your team?
