Would your people describe you as someone who recognizes talented people, draws them in, and utilizes them at their fullest? Would they say they have grown more around you than with any other manager they have worked for? Or would they describe you as someone who pulled them into your organization not as a talent to be developed, but more as a resource to be deployed, and then left to languish? Would they perhaps say that they were heavily recruited but not given a meaningful role—just a visible role—and were serving as a showpiece or hood ornament in your organization?
