Welcome to the
Leadership Load estimator
Is Your Leadership Team Reducing Your Load, or Adding More to It?
You hired strong leaders so the company would not depend on you for everything.
And yet, too many issues still find their way back to your desk.
This assessment helps you see where your leadership team is carrying the load well, and where leadership gaps may still be pushing work, tension, and decisions back onto you.

Where to focus first
Some of the load you are carrying may not come from the amount of work alone. It may come from leadership gaps that pull decisions, tension, and coordination back to you.
Meaning
This is a common pattern in growing companies. It usually means the leadership system has not matured at the same pace as the company
What to do with this
Once you can see where the load is returning to you, you can start addressing it more precisely.
