Here is The LeaderMaker Group Self-Test. How many of these apply to you?

1. There are several supervisors in my company but one is noticeably weaker than the others. I fear this situation is causing morale problems between the groups.
2. My employees seem to be concerned that our job posting process is unfair.
3. Turnover is high. Too few of our people seem to want to stay or even discuss with me what their futures here might be.
4. Some of the people here, supervisors and others, act like jerks and bullies on the job.
5. Our supervisors try to be leaders but not many people seem willing to follow them cheerfully.
6. Everything we do is urgent. We rush from one meeting to another and we never pause to give careful thought to our decisions.
7. I seem to do OK when there is a clear choice I must make, but more and more I am running into things that are ambiguous and don't have a clear answer.
8. My people seem afraid to try things. They seem to be afraid to fail.
9. People who work here keep telling me things are changing rapidly in our business and that we are not doing a very good job of keeping up.
10. I thought we had made it clear to our customer service employees that they were empowered to help the customer, but many seem reluctant to do it.
11. I recently promoted someone to be a new supervisor but I am afraid he quickly made a mess of things in his department.
12. We tried to implement a program for quality management but little or nothing seems to have improved and the people joke about it.
13. We seem to keep making the same mistakes over and over, as if our leaders are unable to solve what goes wrong.
14. I seem to have almost unanimous consent from my people about our decisions, but I am afraid they are not being candid with me.
15. There seems to be a growing divide between our supervisors and others.
16. We try to accomplish things with teams but I am afraid we spend too much time with too many people in meetings that don't get much done.
17. There is a lot of muttering around here about who reports to whom and what our Org Chart looks like.
18. We hire too many people who don't work out. Maybe we don't know how to interview people very well.
19. We have put up several motivational signs but some of them have been ruined by graffiti.
20. When people brief me on a project I am afraid I'm not getting to see all the necessary details. I fear some people may be "dumbing it down" for me.
