When I was sent the REACTION Dashboard, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought it might be a guide to help leaders react properly to difficult situations. That is not it at all.
Rather REACTION is an acronym used in a template to help develop healthy leadership cultures in organizations. It is actually two things. The first is
Reason
Energy
Alignment
Clarity
Trust
All of these are graded according to:
Individual
Organization
Network
What I liked about this book is Chris Wignall presents this concept in two ways. The first part of the book is a narrative of a fictional group of leaders going through this process. It feels a lot like Patrick Lencioni.
Chris then takes readers through more of a teaching style description of what this looks like for organizations. He anticipates the questions and potential confusions about the REACTION dashboard and brings clarity.
The REACTION Dashboard is a short but extremely helpful resource for leaders. Chris is a Christian leader but these concepts could work in any context. Definitely worth taking your team through.
