No you are not a Quiet Leader
From your answers, I know that you are self-confident assertive, and highly ambitious. You can quickly make decisions in a firm and objective way and your team relies on you to get the job done. You are a direct communicator and use a goal-oriented approach to assigning work. You thrive in competitive situations and will often use this to motivate your team.You are a force of nature when things need to happen quickly but sometimes you struggle to work with others, preferring to take the lead control of the situation and not always fully explaining what needs to be done.This can lead to confusion amongst your team when they need more details or stress when they can't work at your break-neck speed.So now we know you're not a Quiet Leaders - what is it that you should know to maximise the potential of the Quiet Leaders in your team? I know that you're far from a quiet leader yourself and so your quiet leader potential is a bit different from the rest.. but bear with me...The potential for your personality type lies in learning how to maximise the talents of the quiet leaders that I'm sure you already have in your team. I get that they may well frustrate the hell out of you but if you can learn how to bring out the best in them - they will become be a valuable asset to you, giving you more time to get on with the job and what needs to be done. If you don't do this then you're in danger of not having them on your side, causing resentment and increasing the likelihood that they'll move on to somewhere new.Who am I to be telling you this?Hi there, I’m Julie Hutchison.
