#1 - When I walk into a room are people glad to see me or freaked out/stressed that I am there?
#2 - Am I known as an encourager or as someone who is always pointing out everything that seems to be wrong?
#3 - Does my staff know about loyalty because I model it for them or because I demand it from them?
#4 - Do I always assume the best about a staff member when I hear that they have made a mistake? (Love ALWAYS assumes the best about a person, ALWAYS, see I Corinthians 13:4-7!)
#5 - When I disagree with someone…do I do so in a way that respects the person OR do I attempt to tear down the person AND their position in order to intimidate anyone else in the room who may agree with them?
#6 - Am I celebrating the past more than I am anticipating the future?
#7 - Am I ignoring anything that really needs to be dealt with? If so, why? (Anyone can identify a problem, only a leader will embrace the uncomfortable and the unknown to actually do something about it!)
#8 - Am I a person who is known for contacting others only when I want something from them?
#9 - When I go home and am with my wife and kids…am I checking out my online platform to see what others are saying about me or am I fully engaged with my family?
#10 - Do I motivate people or discourage them?
BTW…if you do not know the answers to these questions, they would make a great agenda for your next leadership meeting!
