Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • Where I come alive is in the human glue
  • The moment one of my people starts talking I’m already half-composing my answer, jumping in to fix it before they’ve even finished
  • I’m at my best when I’m getting a room aligned and fired up
  • I give people good advice and watch it bounce right off
  • There’s one person on my team everyone’s decided is just a complainer, and I keep noticing they’re actually pointing at the thing nobody wants to face
