Space provided here for you to step into this picture and see the organization that you want to create.

Rate Yourself

We invite you to take a moment to assess how you currently show up as a leader. For each of the 10 items listed below, rate yourself on a scale of 1 (minimally effective) to 5 (optimally effective). A perfect score is 50. Rate yourself as a leader who:

  1. is driven to achieve sustainable results both for clients and the organization
  2. has a compelling long-term vision and effectively communicates it
  3. consistently makes business decisions—even the tough ones—with a clear focus on the long-term vision
  4. identifies and focuses on the most important opportunities and challenges
  5. builds and empowers effective leadership and management teams
  6. attracts and keeps the very best clients, business partners, and employees
  7. gets people working well together
  8. solicits and acts on perspective and feedback from colleagues, employees, clients, and vendors in order to become more effective
  9. diligently presses forward even in the face of significant obstacles
  10. makes time and space for other life priorities to keep the creative juices flowing and combat burn-out
