This checklist may help us to quickly assess if we’re doing a good job as managers.

Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Can you take a long vacation?
  2. Is your team consistently delivering value?
  3. Do your team members tell you openly what they think?
  4. Can you give them candid and valuable feedback?
  5. In case of emergencies, does your team handle it without you coordinating everything?
  6. Do people feel safe to take calculated risks and make mistakes?
  7. Is there healthy team climate and people enjoy working with one another?
  8. Do you have enough time to work on what’s important and not necessarily what’s urgent?
  9. Is your team constantly looking for opportunities to improve?
  10. Does your team value your opinion and seek for your advise?
