A. The grid gives us a visual representation of which leadership domains and strengths we share, and which are missing. Meredith’s leadership domain is Relationship Building, Chelsea’s is Influencing, Matthew’s is Relationship Building, Omar’s is Executing, Tommie’s is Strategic Thinking, and Elizabeth’s is Executing. Our team’s dominant leadership domains are Executing and Relationship Building. This will be to our advantage when working together to get things done. We all are motivated to accomplish goals and meet deadlines, while we are also able to work together cohesively by forming relationships and minimizing conflict.
