THRIVE: Purpose, Passion, Performance Reflective guide

The BIG 5 are based on questions posed by Steve Radcliffe in his wonderful book ‘Leadership Plain and Simple’ (2012). The BIG 5 Questions for leaders 1 2 3 4 5 What do I care about? What do I want to lead for?

What do I currently do regularly that is in line with my values?

How do I want to make people feel?

What will I do each day to make my impact a little better?

We recommend using these questions regularly, especially during periods where you are particularly challenged. They can act as a way to re-centre ourselves, and can be part of your reflective journal.

The questions can also be effectively used with colleagues whom you share high psychological safety with, maybe as part of a one-to-one meeting or coaching session.
