Assess a new team

Assess a new team

- The leadership matrix can help you develop your team members in a lot of different situations. You can use it to access a new team, you can use it in hiring, and succession planning activities. You can plan team member development or even reorganizations based on the results of the leadership matrix assessment. To access a new team ask the team's prior manager about individual performance. Also ask them who consumed the majority of their time and energy and why they were consuming it. Do your initial assessment on the leadership matrix based on that input. Then, conduct your own assessment after two months to see how you might have to change your approach to how you're leading the members of your team. For hiring use their resume and the interview to gauge what the individual's results might be on your team. Also, ask them what their work style is. Find out how they interacted with their last boss in order to access how much leadership capital the individual might take up from you…
