How they work

How the diagnostic tools work

These tools are not formal diagnoses. They are structured reflection tools designed to help leaders notice patterns that may otherwise remain hidden.

They explore practical questions about leadership behaviour, team effectiveness, change readiness and senior appointment risk. The result can help you decide whether a deeper conversation would be useful.

Answer a short set of questions

Each diagnostic asks a focused set of practical questions about what is happening in your organisation, team or appointment decision.

Where to start

Which diagnostic should I start with?

  • If the issue is leadership behaviour, feedback, delegation or management confidence, start with the Leadership Practice Review.
  • If the issue is team trust, challenge, clarity, accountability or conversations happening outside the room, start with the Team Reality Review.
  • If the issue is change resistance, fatigue, alignment or involvement, start with the Change Readiness Reality Check.
  • If the issue is a senior appointment, hiring risk or onboarding concern, start with the Senior Appointment Risk Check.
  • If the issue is unclear, arrange a confidential conversation.

Important note

A reflection tool, not a formal diagnosis

The diagnostic results are designed to prompt reflection and conversation. They reflect the answers given at that moment and should not be treated as a full organisational diagnosis.

They become more useful when explored alongside other evidence, conversations and context.
