Are you toxic? Take the toxic leadership assessment here.
Are you leading your team or slowly and unknowingly eroding it from the inside out? Do you still navigate your ship using old school motivational tactics? Do you have your people living in fear? Are complaints rampant, as well as turnover? Are you spending most of your days putting out fires? Are you oblivious to the role you're playing in any of this?
Do you ever stop to think that some of the challenges you're faced with now might have something to do with how you might be managing your people and your business? The rules of business have changed overnight and the areas most impacted - sales and leadership.

Here's your chance to get real about the behaviors and strategies you need to abandon today in order to get yourself out of your own way of producing the results you need. Then, you'll be able to experience what my clients do: A 30% gain in sales.
In this assessment, you will find a list of 27 toxic management strategies that need to be abandoned. And for those managers, executives and business owners who take this assessment and react with, "Wait, this isn't me." I applaud you. Either you're really that good - or really that blind (clueless and disconnected also come into mind- well, then there are those egomaniacal megalomaniacs, but need I digress). And make sure you take the coaching assessment to ensure you're most effectively leading and coaching your people.) However, just to make sure you don't have your blinders on, feel free to share this assessment with your team and have them fill this assessment out this assessment on you, anonymously, of course. Can you handle the truth?
Finally, for those people who are reading this blog and feeling as if they're being managed by this type of manager, I give you this warning. If you have any desire to share this assessment with your manager or boss, make sure you know how they'll receive it - as a subtle gesture of good will and compassion or a threat and an insult? If the latter, consider doing it anonymously.
