How it works
Answer 14 questions and in less than 3 minutes you will receive your current team score along with some ideas for optimising your score in the future.
You’ll be scored on the following key success factors which shape the performance of your senior leadership team.
Collective Purpose
& Clarity
A collective shared purpose helps everyone on the leadership team know what they are trying to do and where they are heading.
It makes it easier to see how well the team is doing and to spot what people need to learn or improve next.
Culture & Innovation
The leadership team shows everyone else how it’s okay to behave at work.
If they listen, support each other, and welcome new ideas, people feel safe to speak up and try better ways of doing things. If they don’t, people stay quiet, stop suggesting ideas, and just do the minimum.
Leadership System
Assess how the leadership team runs the business.
Do they work together, share responsibility, and make decisions as a team? Or does everything still have to go back to the CEO /MD because people only look after their own area?
Execution
This checks how work actually gets done.
Is there a simple plan with regular meetings, clear decisions, and people taking responsibility?
Or do things only happen when someone rushes in at the last minute to fix problems?
Practices & Habits
The way leaders act every day decides whether the business keeps moving forward.
Do they talk through disagreements, make sensible choices, and think about the future as well as today?
Or do they avoid tough conversations and only deal with what feels urgent right now?
Action Plan
This looks at whether the leadership team can turn ideas into a real plan.
Do they build the plan together, make it clear who is responsible, and keep checking it’s happening?
Or do plans get talked about once and then forgotten?

I have seen first hand the effect Les has on senior teams. I've watched leaders move from polite dysfunction to courageous collaboration. I've seen strategy sessions turn from sterile slide decks into galvanising calls to action. I've seen teams leave his sessions not just with action plans, but with a deeper sense of shared identity and renewed commitment.
