Why Skill/Will Matrix?

"No person can be a → great leader
unless he takes genuine joy in the success of those under him." ~ W.A. Nanc

If you assigned a task to someone and the job does not quite get done well enough, one of the most likely reasons is that:

you have delegated the task to someone who is unwilling – or unable – to complete the job, and have then remained relatively uninvolved or 'hands-off', or
you may have been too directive or 'hands-on' with a capable person who was quite able to complete the assignment with little assistance from you; you just ended up demotivating him/her.

Consequently, whether you are → managing, or → leading , or → coaching, it is critical to match your style of interaction with the player's readiness for the task. The Skill/Will Matrix will help you do this.
