The Seven Forces™ Leadership Diagnostic
Diagnose Before You Prescribe
Leadership challenges often show up as missed expectations, stalled execution, and misalignment. The Seven Forces™ Leadership Diagnostic looks beneath those visible symptoms to help you examine what may be shaping leadership performance.
What to examine
The Seven Forces™
Seven interdependent forces shape how leadership intent translates into performance. Each may be enabling, limiting, or eroding performance.
Relational Capital
Relationships strong enough to endure under pressure.
Boundaries & Expectations
The lines around how leaders are expected to lead.
Direction
The shared sense of where we are going, and why.
Ownership
A clear owner for everything that matters.
Alignment
The connection between the parts and their pull toward the whole.
Execution
The path from decision to done.
Reinforcement
The regular rhythms, systems, processes, rewards, and consequences that strengthen what works and change what does not.
Before your next investment
Look at the system around the leader
A strong leadership workshop creates real momentum. The question is whether the environment your leaders return to can sustain it. We have built leadership systems inside global organizations, and the pattern holds: the environment wins.
The Seven Forces™ Leadership Diagnostic gives you a starting point for understanding how to make system changes for results that last.
Where to examine it
The Three Rails
Every question is associated with a Rail. Reading across the Rails can help you form better hypotheses about where a pattern may be produced or sustained.
Environment
The conditions, systems, structures, processes, signals, and patterns the organization produces, permits, protects, or prevents.
Leader
Patterns of behavior leaders across the organization enact. This is not an individual capability test.
Senior Team
What the senior team collectively models, regulates, tolerates, signals, and reinforces.
Your report fits your vantage point. All reports include Environment and Leader. The Senior Team Rail appears when your role gives you direct exposure to, or membership of, a senior leadership team.
