Potential Friction Points

Question 6
Complete the thought: "The thing that used to work well for me and doesn't anymore is..."
The next several questions ask you to pick two answers from the list of options — one that is most true for you, and the one that is least true. There are no right answers.
Question 7
Think of the last time a priority you set got quietly dropped from above. Looking back, which was most true, and which was least true?
Option Most Least
I hadn't made the case well enough
I needed the right people behind it earlier
What gets said matters less here than what actually gets funded
There was more going on than anyone was willing to say out loud

Question 8
When you're most frustrated at work lately, the frustration is:
Question 9
A peer says your team's approach is "not how we do things here." Which is most like what you'd actually do, and which is least?
Option Most Least
Adjust — it's not worth the friction on this one

Ask what's behind "how we do things" before deciding anything
Accept that your way and theirs don't mix, and pick which fight matters
Question 10
Describe the moment you first thought "something here isn't working."
2–3 sentences is fine.

Taking Perspective

Question 11
When you judge your own performance, which is most true and which is least?
Option Most Least
I measure against the goals I committed to
I measure against what the role actually demands, in or out of the goals
I measure against what I think is right, even when that conflicts with others
I measure against the impact across the organization, even though my goals suffer
Question 12
Think of a recommendation you were confident in that didn't get adopted. Which is most true of how you saw it afterward, and which is least?
Option Most Least
I was confident in the analysis, and it should have carried more weight than it did
The analysis held up, but I should have built support for it differently
The room was solving for something I hadn't taken seriously enough
Both readings were reasonable; the real move was changing the question, not winning the call
