3. Leadership Focus

Is my leadership style to promote or prevent for the team?

The Mindset(s)

The same regulatory focus from Week 2, now applied to how you lead. Each pole covers the same three leadership functions: goal framing, problem solving, and error management. (Feedback is its own week: Week 4, Feedback Orientation.)

  • Promotion Leadership: frames goals around gains, builds on what works, and encourages useful risks.
    • Survey item: “I plan to motivate my team by framing our goals around the gains and growth we can achieve.”
  • Prevention Leadership: frames goals around setbacks to avoid, fixes what is going wrong, and emphasizes accuracy.
    • Survey item: “I plan to motivate my team by framing our goals around the problems and setbacks we need to avoid.”

Polarity: Promotion ↔︎ Prevention (team leadership).

Measure: Promotion/Prevention Team Leadership Scale (adapted from regulatory focus theory). Six items rated 1–7, three per subscale.
