Self-Diagnose Your Leadership Crisis: It's YOU! #shorts
In this concise leadership monologue, Bill Canady presents a rapid self‑diagnosis tool to uncover personal leadership breakdowns. He outlines three simple rules for the exercise: each line must name an individual (not a committee, function, or team), the same name may appear on multiple lines, and if the participant writes their own name on all three lines they have identified a Phase 3 problem—meaning the issue lies with themselves. After the quick 40‑second check, the speaker advises the viewer to look at the blank space, which often reveals the truth. The next step is to select a likely internal ally—typically the CFO—and schedule a 15‑minute conversation within the month. During this meeting, the leader should grant the ally four authorities (the data, the standing slot, the kill list, and the direct line), verbally commit to supporting them when the work becomes uncomfortable, and explicitly tell them they have the speaker’s backing.
