The Leadership Gap Assessment

You are not measured here. You are compared.

The distance between how you believe you are leading and how your team experiences being led. Not a 360; two accounts of the same ninety days, laid beside each other.

Why it exists

Most bottlenecks don’t know they are one.

Questions leaders ask

Is this a 360?

No. A 360 asks people to rate a person on traits, produces averaged adjectives and gets gamed on both sides. This asks both parties to report observable events inside a stated window of time, then subtracts. Nobody is rated. Two accounts of the same ninety days are compared.

What stops the leader gaming his own answers?

He answers first and his set locks on submission. No edit, no retake, no second look. He never sees who has completed, only how many.

Will my team tell the truth?

They are never asked their opinion of him. They are asked what happened to them. That is a different question, and it is one people answer honestly because it is defensible in the room afterwards.
