Manager Effectiveness Assessment™
How the people closest to the work experience being managed.
Effective management is more than being supportive, knowledgeable, or well-liked. Managers create the conditions in which people understand what matters, make decisions, perform their work, receive feedback, develop, and remain accountable.
This assessment measures the day-to-day management experience across six dimensions — and shows where intention and experience diverge.
What you'll discover
Your read on the work.
- Which management behavior your team experiences most consistently
- The dimension creating the greatest drag on team effectiveness
- The management risk most likely to affect performance if left unaddressed
- A 30-day action plan built from your two lowest dimensions
Who it's for
Built for these leaders.
- New managers building their operating rhythm
- Experienced managers inheriting a struggling team
- Organizations standardizing what good management looks like

Sample report
Effective Manager
This is an illustrative excerpt. Your report is written from your own responses.
What we see
Consistency, not capability
Clarity and trust are strong. Delegation is where the team's experience becomes uneven — responsibility without matching authority.
Watch for
Bottlenecks and excessive approvals. Your team may feel responsible for outcomes without the authority to achieve them.
Do next
Establish explicit decision rights: OWN, CONSULT, APPROVE, ESCALATE — and publish them to the team this week.
Then
Your results feed a development plan you can run in 30 or 90 days — and carry into the interactive guide.
