YOUR WEATHER SYSTEM

Card 1 of 4 • The Foundation
You set the climate for your entire team.

WHAT IT IS Leaders are like weather systems. Whether you're sunny and calm or raging like a cyclone, you set the climate for your entire team. You can't control the emotions you feel when you have a bad day, but you must control how you express them so you don't rain on people who don't even have an umbrella.

Card 2 of 4 • The Two Lenses
Recognize your state before you zap someone with a lightning bolt.

🔍 LEADER LENS
  • Recognize your emotional state and own your personal "weather" before you walk into a room.
  • Prevent yourself from accidentally zapping someone with a lightning bolt.
👤 IC LENS
  • Know what kind of weather the boss is bringing to the office today.
  • Feel psychologically safe enough to work without constantly checking the forecast or hiding in the storm shelter.

YOUR WEATHER SYSTEM

Card 3 of 4 • Red & Green Flags
Are you bringing sunshine or an unpredictable thunderstorm?

🚩 RED FLAGS (Breaking Down)
  • The team scatters when the boss walks by.
  • Bringing a bad mood from home and unleashing it on the team.
  • Operating like a sudden, unpredictable thunderstorm.
✅ GREEN FLAGS (Working Well)
  • Acknowledging out loud when you're having a cloudy day.
  • Team members bringing sunshine when you need it.
  • Consistent, manageable climates that foster sustainable growth.

YOUR WEATHER SYSTEM

Card 4 of 4 • Self-Check & Application
Do a weather check before you step into the room.

SELF-CHECK:
"When I'm having a terrible day, what does my 'storm' look like, and who usually gets caught in the rain?"
THE PLAY Do a "weather check" before your next team meeting. If you're bringing in dark clouds, take 5 minutes outside to reset, or simply acknowledge to the team that you're feeling a bit "off" today so they don't assume it's their fault.
