A diagnostic for leaders who feel trapped in a situation — and want to find a way through
When a leader gets stuck, it's rarely because they lack ability. It's because they keep applying the same strategy — and it has stopped working.
Every leader has six fundamental strategies for dealing with challenges. Under pressure, most of us rely on one or two — and become blind to the rest. That blindness is what keeps us stuck.
This diagnostic helps you see which strategies you've been using in your current situation — and which ones you haven't tried yet. That's where the way through usually is.
Takes about 10 minutes
Describe the leadership challenge you're currently facing. Be specific — not a general theme, but the actual situation that's keeping you up at night.
Thinking about your current situation — how well does this describe what you've been doing?
