Your profile, laid over your team's.

The Team Leader Report is a short, private companion to the Team Report. It takes your own two dominant styles and reads them against the group you're actually leading — not against leadership in general. The useful part isn't your profile or theirs. It's the distance between them.

The teamYou

Illustrative data. Nine styles across the bottom, the team in colour and the leader in grey. Here the leader is far more forceful and far more future-focused than the group, while the team holds most of the caution and most of the quiet expertise. Those three columns are the whole conversation.

  • Companion to the Team Report

01 — Reading the overlay

Three ways a column can read

Only three shapes matter, and each one means something different for how you run the team.

  • You're high, they're low

    Something you do naturally, nobody else does. It's your contribution — and the thing you'll be tempted to demand of people who can't supply it. Usually where frustration starts.

  • They're high, you're low

    A strength sitting in the room that you may be discounting because it isn't how you work. This is the column that most often turns out to have been the missed opportunity.

  • You match

    Easy alignment, and a shared blind spot. When leader and team lean the same way, nobody in the room is positioned to notice what the whole group is missing.

02 — What's in it

Six pages, and most of it is about them

  1. Pg. 04

    Team and leader profiles

    Where do you and the group diverge?

    The overlay chart across all nine styles. Your team receives a copy of this same chart in their report, so it isn't a private document — it's the shared starting point that the rest of your report interprets.
  2. Pg. 05

    Your primary leadership style

    What kind of leader do you default to?

    Your dominant style, named and described as a leadership style rather than a personality: what your focus tends to be, where your natural approach helps, and where it costs you. The scale shows how far towards that style you sit — and the far end of every scale is unflattering, deliberately.
  3. Pg. 05–06

    Your leadership competencies

    What does this style make you good at?

    Three named capabilities that come with each style, defined in ordinary terms — the things you can rely on yourself to do well under pressure. They're the counterweight to the caution in the rest of the page.
  4. Pg. 05–06

    Leader versus team, with pointers

    So what do you actually do on Monday?

    The most practical part of the report: a short read on how your style meets this particular group, followed by four or five specific pointers for leading them. Written for your team's actual composition, not for leaders in general — a different team would produce different pointers from the same profile.

03 — What a page looks like

Your style on the left, your team on the right

The written feedback and the pointers are held back here — that part belongs in your own report.

04 — How to use it

Read it after the workshop, not before

  1. The team completes the questionnaire and is locked

    Your report is calculated from the same lock date as theirs, so both documents describe the same version of the team.

  2. Run the team session first

    The Team Report gets worked through with the whole group. Arriving with your leader report already read tends to make you steer the session towards conclusions you've formed on your own.

  3. Then read your own report

    Start with the overlay chart and find the three widest columns. Everything else in the report is there to explain those gaps.

  4. Pick two pointers, not all of them

    The pointers are specific enough to act on immediately. Choose the two that match a real situation you're facing in the next month and leave the rest.

  5. Take it to a coaching conversation

    This report is written for you rather than about you, and it's blunt in places. A practitioner debrief is where the uncomfortable lines turn into something useful.

Leading a team through this?

A certified practitioner can run the team process and debrief your leader report alongside it.
