Choose the answer that sounds most like your workplace.
Don't choose the answer you wish was true. Choose the one your team would probably choose if you weren't watching.
This isn't really a test of whether you've got good people. It's a prompt to think about whether your managers are creating the conditions in which good people can do their best work.
Recognise your workplace?
Now discover where the actual leadership gaps may be.
Of course, we can't actually hear what your team says when you leave the room.
But that's rather the point.
Are people telling your managers what they need to hear — or what they think their managers want to hear?
Healthy leadership isn't about having perfect managers. It's about creating managers who can communicate clearly, have the conversations that matter, take responsibility, develop their people and lead confidently when things become difficult.

You've identified the gap.
What happens next?
Sometimes a manager needs a particular skill. Sometimes several managers need a common approach. And sometimes the issue isn't a training course at all — it's the way leadership has evolved as the business has grown.
That's why the first step isn't necessarily buying training.
It's having a useful conversation about what you're seeing, what's getting in the way and what better leadership would look like in your business.
