Bill Abbate's Leadership Diagnostic & Trajectory
Real-time contrast between the "Friend Boss" and the "Firm Coach"
š Immediate Behavioral Observations
- Sufficient standard accountability forces deliberate practice rather than coasting.
- Direct feedback initially causes short-term cognitive strain, quickly converting to self-efficacy.
- No hidden resentment brewing over carrying unaddressed underperformers.
š Actionable Coaching Scripts
- For Drifting Seniors: "I respect your past wins too much to watch you coast. Here is the bar we need."
- For Junior Apprentices: "I will not let you fail alone. Let's inspect the code together and redo the spec."
- On Missed Standards: "Being nice means telling you the truth now before production breaks."
