For technical experts stepping into people leadership
Your leadership readiness assessment.
A practical assessment to help emerging leaders in fast-paced organisations understand their leadership strengths, identify development priorities, and lead with greater confidence.
As you make the transition into leadership, the demands you face and skills you need change.
You're transitioning from individual contributor to leader, from technical expert to strategic thinker. Your focus shifts from tasks to people and processes.
Communication becomes more complex. Conflict feels harder to navigate. Everyone’s looking to you to set an example. Confidence can wobble, even for people who are highly competent.
Many technically strong professionals find themselves promoted into leadership roles without support to develop the human skills required to succeed - the core performance skills that drive business success.
This Leadership Readiness Assessment is designed to help you pause, reflect, and gain clarity on how prepared you are for the human side of leadership and where to focus next.
What this assessment is (and isn't)
This assessment is:
Practical, reflective, and grounded in real leadership challenges
Designed specifically for emerging leaders in fast-paced organisations
Focused on skills that directly impact performance and collaboration
It isn't:
A personality test
A judgement or a pass/fail exercise
A generic "soft skills" quiz
What you'll explore
This assessment looks at four core pillars of effective leadership:
Communication and Clarity - how clearly and intentionally you communicate, especially under pressure
Emotional Intelligence and Self-Awareness - how well you manage your own responses and read what's happening for others
Conflict and Influence - how you handle tension, challenge ideas, and influence outcomes without replying on authority
Confidence and Leadership Identity - how comfortable you are stepping into leadership, being visible, and leading through uncertainty
What you'll gain
By completing the assessment, you'll receive:
A clear snapshot of your current leadership readiness
Insight into strengths you can build on
Clarity on areas that may be holding you back
Reflection prompts and practical next-step guidance
Optional support if you'd like help developing further
Who this is for
This assessment is for you if you're:
An emerging leader or first-time manager
A technical expert moving into people leadership
Leading in a first growing or scaling organisation
Feeling capable, but unsure why leadership feels harder than expected
Leadership readiness isn't about being perfect.
It's about knowing how you lead and where to focus next.
