What Your Leadership Check‑In Results Reveal and Why Awareness Is Your Competitive Advantage

Leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about having the awareness to ask the right questions, especially when execution slows, communication breaks down, or momentum feels harder to sustain than it should.

That is why I created the Leadership Check‑In, a short, emotionally intelligent self‑assessment that offers a snapshot of how leadership behaviors are currently supporting or blocking clarity, accountability, and results.

Whether you have already completed the check‑in or you are considering it, this guide will help you understand why this moment of reflection matters.

If You Have Already Completed the Leadership Check‑In

First, thank you for taking the time to pause and reflect. Your responses highlight how leadership is truly showing up day‑to‑day, not in theory but in lived experience.

This is not a diagnosis.

It is a starting point.

Here is what your score may be telling you.

7 to 10 “Yes” Responses, Strong Foundation

This indicates your organization has built real trust and clarity into how leaders operate.

You likely see:

• clear expectations at the start of initiatives

• open communication and early course‑correction

• leaders who model accountability and confidence

Your opportunity is consistency and scalability. The next level is ensuring these behaviors are not limited to a few leaders but are embedded across teams.

4 to 6 “Yes” Responses, Gaps Impacting Execution

This is the most common score and often the most powerful.

Your organization probably values culture yet struggles with:

• inconsistent follow‑through

• hesitation around tough conversations

• teams feeling busy but not always effective

Your opportunity is to strengthen emotionally intelligent operating habits. Small leadership shifts here unlock clarity, ownership, and momentum.

0 to 3 “Yes” Responses, Culture Likely Slowing Performance

This does not reflect a lack of care. It reflects a lack of structure that supports your people.

You may be experiencing:

• avoidance of conflict

• unclear roles and priorities

• stalled initiatives despite strong effort

Your opportunity is to reset how leadership shows up, with intention, compassion, and clarity.

If You Have Not Completed the Leadership Check‑In Yet

This assessment is not about grading leadership. It is about revealing patterns you cannot afford to ignore.

The Leadership Check‑In helps you:

• identify where execution breaks down

• understand how emotional intelligence is influencing results

• pinpoint where culture supports or blocks performance

It takes less than five minutes, and the insight it offers often reshapes how leaders view their role.

What Happens Next

Whether you have already completed the check‑in or plan to now, the next step is simple, reflection followed by action.

In a follow‑up conversation, we will use your results to:

• identify leadership strengths to build on

• pinpoint gaps impacting performance

• explore emotionally intelligent strategies to strengthen execution

Progress begins with awareness.

Thank you for choosing to pause, reflect, and lead with intention.

Stay healthy and keep Stretching,
