Where are you stuck as a manager?

I know which parts of my old job I should hand off or stop doing.

I spend more of my week enabling my team than doing the work myself.

I know the people whose support I need, and I've built relationships with them.

I have regular 1:1s with each person that go beyond task updates.

I give feedback within days, not saved for review time.

Each person on my team could describe what good looks like in their role.

I keep notes on results and behaviors throughout the year, not just before reviews.

I could defend each of my ratings with specific evidence in a calibration meeting.

I know how to build a case for someone's promotion.

When something isn't working, I raise it early instead of hoping it improves.

I feel prepared to have a performance plan or termination conversation if I need to.

After a difficult conversation, I usually feel I handled it fairly and kindly.

I have a clear, consistent way to interview and compare candidates.

New people on my team know what's expected of them in their first 90 days.

I talk with each person about where they want to grow, not just what they're doing now.

I have enough energy at the end of a workday for life outside work.

I can separate my own stress from how I treat my team.

I feel like the kind of leader I want to be.
