This innovative tool can be used in a self-scored printed version or online tool to develop more effective leaders and teams. The audience includes team leaders, project managers, managers, executives, and others who have responsibility for goal achievement. This framework helps to:
- Balance strategic and operational decisions
- Create comprehensive performance measures
- Lead and implement change
- Develop credible and constructive communication practices
- Improve customer service
- Engage diverse viewpoints
- Manage conflict and facilitate creative problem solving
The advantages of this framework are: (1) Uses practical, business oriented language that reflects current circumstances rather than providing a permanent label; (2) Is objective and easy to apply immediately, (3) Reflects changing organizational/business life cycle; (4) Is new and not subject to the "been there, done that" response.
