Free tool · Leadership diagnostic
Is this a technical problem - or an unclear decision problem?
Answer six quick questions before you commit to an engagement or buy another tool.
The second instrument · Leadership decision diagnostic
Identify which decision conditions need attention.
Choose the statement that best reflects the current leadership conversation. This is unscored and stays in your browser.
Discussion focus
Use this carefully: it is a conversation aid, not a score, audit, certification, or recommendation.
Reading your result
Two honest ways to read it.
If several answers were "not yet"
Look at the bigger picture first.
Direction, authority, vendor judgment, risk, and capacity may all need attention together before you take on another isolated project.
If just one answer was "not yet"
A focused brief is probably enough.
Define the decision, the criteria, the owner, and the next step - no need to expand the scope beyond that.
What to do with it
This starts a conversation. It doesn't prescribe a service.
Share the result with the executive who owns the business consequence, the operational or technical owner closest to the evidence, and anyone whose sign-off you need on funding, risk, or vendor decisions. One unresolved area may fit a focused brief. Several connected areas may point to a roadmap or a governance reset.
- Use it nowWhen a decision is pending and ownership or criteria are unclear.
- Run it againAfter a big change in strategy, vendors, leadership, or risk - not as a routine score.
- What "done" looks likeThe area you flagged has an owner, an answerable question, evidence needs, and a next decision point.
- Escalating itTake it to whoever has the authority to act; don't send credentials or confidential system details.
