LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

The leader you think you are

Jason P. Carroll took his family's company from US$20 million to US$80 million by changing the culture. Then behavioural data showed him the leader he actually was. Success camouflaged the blind spots. Carroll saw himself as the opposite of his father — big vision, long leash, no dictator. Psychometric data said otherwise: he was steamrolling into rooms with the answer already formed, and the freedom he thought was empowering was leaving people stranded. His core assumption — that nobody wants to be told what to do, because that's how

Objective data replaces the caricatures leaders build of their teams. Photo courtesy Entrepreneurs' Organization.

he is wired — was simply wrong. Most people prefer clear instruction and want to be held accountable; he had filed accountability and micromanagement in the same drawer. The fixes were almost embarrassingly practical. Every executive got one red flag per quarter —

"Most of us would rather call ourselves self-aware than actually measure it. Until you measure it, you are leading blind." JASON P. CARROLL Serial entrepreneur · Founder, Aptive Index

raise it and he had to stop and listen. Index cards replaced open discussion, so the loudest voice in the room (usually his) didn't decide the answer. Agendas went out beforehand, so the processors could push back in writing. The reason leaders resist, he argues, is shame: "I steamroll, so I must be a bad leader" is the brain's shortcut, and shame makes people dig in rather than change.
