The Top Ten Questions to Determine the Support Raising Health of Your Staff

Overview Strategically coaching your staff to 100% can be a huge challenge when you’re unsure what your organization’s strengths and weaknesses are. Here are ten different questions that you can ask that will help determine the support raising health of your staff

Determining Support Raising Health of Your Staff Quiz Time! Grab a sheet of paper and a pen Grade yourself on a scale from 0-10 on each of the following questions 10 being the highest and best

Jim Collins - Good to Great Pull Your Team Together Don’t be a Lone Ranger: put away arrogance and pride – “River of Denial” Gather opinions and assessments Confront the Brutal Facts Admit the facts – no need to hide the truth Listen to one another and avoid pride and defensiveness

Patrick Lencioni- The Advantage Some leaders are in denial or believe they’re above embracing organizational health – “too sophisticated, too busy or too analytical to bother with it” “Integrity – whole, consistent, and complete when all the management, operations, strategy, and culture (of an organization) fit together and make sense” “We as leaders must establish a few critical, non-bureaucratic systems to reinforce clarity in every process, policy and program” as to remind staff what is truly important

Determining Support Raising Health of Your Staff Grading Your Quiz If your total is: 80-100—There’s always room for improvement, but you are in the top tier. In fact, I want to talk to you about leading a workshop at our upcoming support raising leaders conference!   60-80—Don’t be discouraged. It will take time and effort, but making some basic changes and renewed commitments, you can significantly improve and grow your staff’s support raising health. 40-60—It might look hopeless, but it’s not. The time is now to create (or re-create!) the support raising DNA of your staff team. You will need to take some radical steps, but it will be well worth it.
