Tick if the answer to a question is "yes". Answer the questions honestly to discover whether, by walking the talk, you could impact employee motivation in the workplace

I arrive at the office on time and do not leave early. I expect the same levels of accuracy in my own work as my employees.

I do not blame others. I take responsibility for my part in mistakes.

I encourage a 'no blame' culture where staff are able to admit mistakes and learn from them. I do not keep secrets from my employees.

I do not encourage gossip or rumour.

I set high ethical standards for my behaviour towards employees and hold myself to those standards. I ensure that staff have the training they require.

I participate in training to improve my own skills and competencies.

Employees have an active role in developing objectives for themselves, their team and the company as a whole. I regularly check that objectives between different parts of the team or company are congruent. Everyone pulls together for the same end rather than competing for different results.

I have a clear system for handling employee discontent. Employees are aware of the system for handling discontent and feel encouraged to use it to address problems. Members of my team do not ask me simple questions. Significant matters are brought to my attention. But smaller challenges are considered and resolved by those responsible. I am not bothered by minor matters. I do not build rapport with my team by sharing my weaknesses and fears. I am honest but professional.

Employees are encouraged to make mistakes.

Employees tell me when mistakes have been made, how they have been rectified and what the key learnings are from such mistakes. I have a coach or mentor who keeps me focused and motivated about my work.

I do not teach. Instead I lead, share, encourage and stimulate team members to grow, develop and learn. I trust my staff.
