Personal Influence
What it means: Refers to the freedom we have to do our work and the input we have into decisions that affect our jobs.
When it's a strength
- Vision, strategy and values are clearly communicated and employees use them in deciding how to get the job done
- Creativity and risk taking are celebrated, failures are seen as a part of learning
- Employee input is sought and used
If it’s a weakness:
- Input from employees is not used
- Restrictive policies and processes stifle creativity
- Risk takers are punished
