THE INFLUENCE GAP ASSESSMENT

How well is your leadership value being experienced?

You may have the expertise, experience and authority.
But is your leadership creating the level of influence, visibility and impact you are capable of?

Take 5 minutes to pause and reflect. Rate each statement from 1–5 based on how consistently it is true for you today.

RATING SCALE

1 — Rarely true
2 — Occasionally true
3 — Sometimes true
4 — Usually true
5 — Consistently true

A 5 score means this is true even when the stakes are high, the room is difficult, and the situation is unfamiliar.
