Adapted from Chris Roebuck’s Mach 2 questionnaire

After taking the Mach 2 questionnaire, here are some hard questions to ponder and ask yourself, before taking action on some of your leadership competencies that need improvement.

  1. Do you constantly observe that your team members are going in different directions?
  2. Are your members always wondering what Plan B and C is?
  3. Are you always pointing fingers when something goes wrong, instead of troubleshooting and thinking of ways to prevent it?
  4. What kind of vibe do you bring to your team, i.e. are you motivating your people or are you micromanaging them?
  5. Are you the first person to know what has happened to your team members, or are you usually the last to know?
  6. Do I know what motivates my team members in their work?
  7. Do I let my emotions run high, or do I usually respond calmly (but firm)?
  8. Do my team members trust me enough to open up honestly with me?
  9. Are you communicating your expectations of the business clearly to your team?
  10. Am I actively seeking out signs of high potentials in my team to develop them further?

Pranks Anyone? Teams That Laugh Together, Stay Together

During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, vuvuzelas were all the rage as fans trumpeted their way through matches with as much passion as the players on the pitch. And, one of our customers, who was at the World Cup final, bought a vuvuzela and presented it to our chief executive officer, Roshan Thiran, as a gift. Roshan presented it to his team at Leaderonomics and it wasn’t long before it was put to mischievous use. You see, pranks are part and parcel of the Leaderonomics culture. It is one of the first things employees learn when they join the company – we have an official prank set up for them as part of the orientation process.
