The most expensive dysfunctions in any organisation sit at the top table — and they’re invisible from inside it. Eight statements, four dimensions, about three minutes.
Answer for yourself, as honestly as you can — how you actually show up, not how you’d like to. The profile looks at three capacities a machine can’t supply: vulnerability, integrity, and presence.
The Senior Team Effectiveness Diagnostic is a free senior leadership team assessment from Impact Thinking — 8 statements, about three minutes, built directly on the frameworks published on our research desk. It reads the four dimensions that decide whether a senior team is a team at all — trust, voice, commitments, and decisions — and which one is taxing everything below it.
It’s built for CEOs, chairs, and executive teams who want an honest read of the top table. The free read returns your band and profile immediately, with an interpretation of what the result means and the one thing it suggests you can’t currently see. It pairs with Systems & Conversations for Organizational Excellence, the programme built on the same ground.
It reads the four dimensions that decide whether a senior team is a team at all — trust, voice, commitments, and decisions — and which one is taxing everything below it. It reads 8 statements across the dimensions of trust, voice, commitments, decisions.
About three minutes — 8 statements on a five-point scale. The read is free and immediate: your band, your profile, and the blind spot it points to. A full personalised report, benchmarked against other leaders, is £95; a whole-team report is £495.
It’s a structured self-assessment built on the frameworks published on our research desk — designed for development, team performance and measurement, not for hiring decisions. For selection contexts we run structured engagements where instruments inform, and never replace, human judgment.
Dimensionally: does work stay handed over, do the real disagreements happen in the room, do decisions leave with owners and dates, and do calls stay closed. Every member takes it; the collective pattern — and the splits — are the finding.
