How does the analysis work?

Four statements form each area score on a five-point scale. The rules consider low area scores, strongly divergent individual signals, lever clusters, relationships between areas and explicitly defined operating patterns. You can override the suggested focus based on context.

Is this a scientifically validated test?

The model is evidence-informed and draws on established research streams. It is an independently developed leadership review, not a standardized psychometric test and not psychological diagnostics.

Result

System state, operating patterns and one concrete 14-day experiment.

You receive a system profile designed for concrete leadership work — with transparent rules instead of an opaque score.

You test the working hypothesis against your leadership reality and can deliberately override the suggested focus.

System state, not one overall grade

The review distinguishes robust conditions, tensions, mixed signals and areas with concrete stabilization potential.

Patterns, not a simple ranking

Rules test connections such as clear direction with weak commitment, strong delivery with limited capacity, or responsibility without sufficient decision rights.

Experiment, not an action catalogue

The selected focus becomes a 14-day working plan with a first move, leadership conversation, operating routine and observable evidence signal.

THE SIX SYSTEM AREAS

Leadership becomes effective through operating conditions.

01Direction & FocusHow clear is what takes priority now, what deliberately moves back, and when priorities are reviewed?

02Decisions & CommitmentHow clear are decision ownership, appropriate review effort, constructive dissent and commitment afterwards?

03Delivery & LearningHow clear are expected outcomes, outcome ownership, critical dependencies and learning from deviations?

04Candor & CollaborationHow early do critical information, tensions, deviations and feedback become directly workable?

05Capacity & WorkabilityHow sustainable are protected thinking time, limited parallelism, recovery and the handling of recurring additional load?

06Mandate & Decision RightsHow clear are the boundaries of responsibility, decision rights, critical interfaces and cross-functional decision paths?

METHODOLOGY

Evidence-informed. Original. Transparent.

The model combines established research streams on goal and role clarity, psychological safety, team learning, decision processes and sustainable work capacity. The statements and rules are independently formulated; this is a leadership review, not a standardized psychometric test.
