Thunderhead

Your role in a team

On a team, you might raise the big goal and rally everyone’s strength in one direction. Because you know methods that work, the foundation holds even at full speed.

When you shine

• Big events and launches
• A few weeks of all-hands push toward a goal
• Rolling out a proven approach more widely

When clouds roll in

• Goals that are small and chopped into pieces
• Long stretches of working alone
• A mountain of detailed checking

Classic Thunderhead moments

• Your voice gets louder whenever you talk about the goal.
• Your writing is always the biggest on the whiteboard.
• “If we all pitch in, we’ll get it done” is your motto.
• You’ve picked the celebration venue before the work is done.

Small habits for more sunshine

• With every big goal, write down one step for this week.
• Once a week, ask whoever has the details, “Anything getting in your way?”
• Before a big push, gather the key materials into one folder.

Working with you

Flag the small concerns early, before the momentum builds, and the cloud will grow even taller.
