Leadership Effectiveness Profile
Map where your leadership amplifies and where it creates friction.
A dual-domain assessment that measures both the Amplifying Behaviours that expand your leadership capacity and the Friction Patterns that constrain it. Eighty questions across eight dimensions reveal the balance between creative leadership and self-limiting tendencies, giving you a clear picture of where to focus development for maximum impact.

What It Measures
8 dimensions, each with behavioural anchors
Every dimension is scored, benchmarked, and accompanied by specific coaching recommendations.
Decision Clarity
How clearly and efficiently you make decisions, distribute decision rights, and translate choices into action.
Team Multiplication
How effectively you develop others, build team capability, and create a unit that performs beyond the sum of its parts.
Strategic Bandwidth
How well you maintain strategic focus, protect thinking time, and keep the organisation's energy on what matters most.
Authentic Authority
How consistently you lead with integrity, speak truth to power, and build trust through values-aligned action.
Growth Orientation
Your commitment to continuous learning, adaptive capacity, and leading effectively through change and uncertainty.
Over-Control
The tendency to seek security through micromanagement, perfectionism, and centralised decision-making. Creates bottlenecks and disempowered teams.
Approval Dependency
The tendency to avoid conflict, suppress authentic views, and seek self-worth through conforming to expectations. Leads to passive leadership.
Protective Withdrawal
The tendency to create emotional distance, default to critique over contribution, and retreat from engagement. Leads to isolation.

Sample Report Insight
Your Decision Clarity scores in the 78th percentile, but your Over-Control dimension sits at the 71st. This is a pattern we see often: you make excellent decisions, but you are making too many of them. Your team has the capability but not the authority. The friction is not in the quality of your judgement. It is in the distribution of it.
