Leaders are geared to create impact, but vary on the extent they are guided by an inner calling. The orientation to control indicates how, as a leader, you hold yourself personally responsible to define strategies and drive implementation. People Orientation and Inclusion

About the Enabling Director
Attributes
You are the face of the business and you are self-confident. As the founder holding this status is important to you. You pass on your values to your employees. You invest energy in your own personal development.
Side Effects
Do not lose sight of your own employees. Even in your role as leader, do not forget the importance of the human touch.
Potential
Your team can rely on you in difficult times. Your potential lies in the mix of sensitive leadership, clear announcements and a calm view on the facts.
Challenge
Do you actually know your employees?
Invite several of your employees to an “out of work” activity. Just do not overdo it and immediately head to the obstacle course or engage in trust exercises. First things first, a relaxed meal out will do.
Position yourself in the middle of senior team members and new trainees, make an effort to not be too intimidating. Get to know your team on a more human level. This strengthens the team spirit and prevents inside conflicts.
