For your business · Leadership team diagnostic

See your leadership team clearly before you change anything.

A fixed-scope diagnostic of how your leadership team actually works: who decides what, where work lives, and what still depends on you. You get a written read against the six practices of the Brave Cave Standard and a working session to go through it.

A paid engagement with a fixed scope. The price is set after a first conversation; it is not published.

What happens

About three weeks, start to finish.

1

A conversation with you

What you see happening, what you want to be different, and who is on your leadership team.

2

Private input from each leader

Each leader answers a short set of questions on their own: how they work, which decisions they hold, and where their work lives. Nobody sees anyone else’s answers in this step.

3

A look at how work really moves

Using the reports and tools you already have, we compare what the team says with what actually happens.

4

The written read and a working session

Where your team stands on each of the six practices, what to fix first, and what can wait. We go through it together, and it is yours to keep whether or not you go further.

What you get

A plain read against six practices.

The same six practices the Brave Cave Standard puts in place, so the diagnostic tells you exactly where an engagement would start.

Every person known

Whether leaders understand how each other work.

One place work lives

Whether work and requests have one home.

Decisions at the right level

Who decides what, and what still comes back to you.

Processes that outlive people

What lives only in someone’s head.

One number, trended

Whether the team shares a number it reports on.

Everyone accountable

Whether each person knows what they own.
