How This Works
This tool helps you connect strategic objectives to the leadership practices that matter most right now. Complete the sections in order; your responses will generate a brief PDF summary and support a follow-up debrief.
Enter who is responding and the team or function you are considering.
List key objectives and score their impact, urgency, and complexity.
Sort all 28 practices into Critical Now, Second Order, or Lower Priority.
Email yourself a PDF summary. The deeper interpretation happens in the debrief.
1. Respondent and Focus
2. Strategic Objectives
Enter the objectives from the strategic plan. Score each one for impact, urgency, and leadership complexity, then use the highest-demand objectives to guide the practice sort.
How much this objective matters to results, customer or stakeholder value, risk, strategic position, or organizational health.
How soon leadership action needs to improve for the objective to stay on track.
How much success depends on uncertain work, cross-boundary coordination, real tradeoffs, changing conditions, or no obvious playbook.
3. Forced Practice Sort
Sort every practice into exactly one stack. Drag cards into a stack, move them between stacks, or drag them back to the Practice Library if you want to reconsider. You can also use the buttons on each card. The limits are intentional: they force tradeoffs so the final report can distinguish the most significant priorities from second-order and lower-priority practices.
The practices most essential to delivering the strategic objectives in this time horizon.
Practices that matter, but are not the first constraint on performance right now.
Practices that are useful generally, but less central to the current business challenge.
Critical Now
0 / 6Most significant practices for performance.
Second Order
0 / 8Helpful, but not the first constraint.
Lower Priority
0Not central to this moment.
