The Autopilot Gap™ Framework
Every team learns how to lead its leader.
The better you become, the more completely your team adapts to you.
Over time, teams learn:
- What gets rewardedWhat gets ignored
- What is safe to sayWhat is dangerous to challenge
The distance between the leader you believe you are and the leader your team actually experiences is the Autopilot Gap™.
From autopilot to deliberate leadership.
