A number of our Network Members have recently got in touch with questions about Split Wheels. Here are some of the common questions that came up, along with how to answer them!

Q. What is a Split Wheel?

A. The majority of Team Management Profiles (TMPs) result in major and related role preferences that are adjacent on the Team Management Wheel. In the picture below the major role is Assessor-Developer, with the related roles of Explorer-Promoter and Thruster-Organiser falling either side.

G'day!

How did Governor Phillip lead his team and manage the convicts to develop the foundations of Sydney, New South Wales and our great country of Australia? In 1788, he took on the role as our first Governor. It is an outstanding story of leadership and teamwork that I have written about in a book called Amazing People of Sydney. It provides proud and personal stories of those who have developed our country. 

I attended a very inspiring talk by Karen Schmidt of Let's Grow!

Karen is a motivational speaker who made the observation that a negative person in the office is like that one bad raspberry in the punnet.

They infect the others around them, slowly but surely, until all the raspberries in the punnet have gone off.
 

Recently, I was asked the question:
 
"We are considering the use of 360-degree feedback as a key component of our leadership development programme. I need to gain buy-in from our senior executive team that addresses the return on investment for using 360-degree feedback in our development programmes. Do you have any tips?"

There are reports that Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, is not known for her charisma. The press says she rarely smiles and has yet to deliver a knockout speech.
 

Yet, according to surveys, she is the most popular political leader in Europe. She is ranked the most powerful woman in the world by Forbes magazine for the fourth year in a row (Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton didn’t even make it to the top 30).
