Do you know what their enthusiasms and interests and concerns are? What are their ambitions for the service they are offering? Do they know yours? Are both of you clear about the needs and constraints of your organization? Have you ever used questionnaires to discover the Belbin’s team roles or Honey and Mumford’s learning styles or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator preferences of yourself and the people you manage? If so, do you use the insights gained from them on a daily basis? If not, who in your organization would be able to help you with those?
