Leader Energy Self‑Assessment (8-10 mins)

IMPORTANT: Answer based on the last 14 days. If the last 14 days were unusual, answer for the most representative 14‑day period you have had in the last 2 months.

This is for you. No one is grading you, and there are no “good founder” answers. Choose the option that best matches your real experience, not what you wish were true (honest answers create useful results). Self-report tools are most helpful when you answer quickly and candidly.

Response scale (all items): 1 = never, 2 = rarely, 3 = sometimes, 4 = often, 5 = almost always.
