Is Leadership Development the Right Move?

Take the Quiz → Get Clear → Decide What’s Next

If you're here, you're likely wrestling with real leadership questions—your own, your team’s, or someone else’s.

 

Maybe you've got a newly promoted manager who's struggling. Maybe you're seeing repeat issues with collaboration, accountability, or communication. Maybe people problems are quietly stalling progress.

This quick quiz helps you figure out if leadership development—and specifically, my approach—is a good fit.

Why This Quiz?

Most leadership training focuses on communication skills. I focus on problem-solving—because good leaders don't just communicate better, they help others solve problems better.

 

I work with growing startups and other relatively small businesses that are hiring or promoting smart, capable people who've never had access to good leadership training. Through a blend of workshops and coaching, I help managers develop practical skills for:

  • Making faster, better decisions

  • Creating real accountability (not just tracking tasks)

  • Leading tough conversations with clarity and composure

  • Thinking systemically—not just fixing symptoms

The quiz will help you spot what's not working and whether my approach might help fix it.

📋 Take The Quiz

12 brief questions. Three minutes. Clear next steps.

 

The quiz assesses five dimensions of leadership effectiveness:

  • Clarity and follow-through

  • Problem-solving and strategy

  • Culture and communication

  • Conflict and trust

  • Leadership growth

 

You'll get personalized results and a recommendation on whether we should talk. →
