The Manager Reality Check

Stressed manager

The Hidden Crisis Facing Today's Leaders

If you're like most managers, you've experienced that sinking feeling when facing a complex decision with no clear answer. You're not alone.

The statistics are sobering:

  • 67% of managers report decision paralysis in complex situations

  • 73% feel uncertain about their management decisions

  • Only 23% feel "very confident" in their decision-making ability

The Promotion Trap

Here's what nobody tells you when you become a manager: You'll be expected to make decisions that affect people's careers, team performance, and organizational outcomes—with virtually no training on HOW to make those decisions well.

Most managers are promoted because they excelled as individual contributors, not because they demonstrated decision-making capability. Sound familiar?

New Managers

The Real Cost of Poor Management Decisions

When managers guess instead of knowing, everyone pays the price:

Management team

For Your Team:

  • Higher turnover (costs average $50K-$92K per replacement)

  • Lower engagement and productivity

  • Increased stress and burnout

  • Safety incidents and quality issues

Manager

For Your Career:

  • Decisions escalated to senior leadership

  • Reputation as someone who "needs guidance"

  • Slower advancement opportunities

  • Constant second-guessing and stress

Failing business

For Your Organization:

  • Poor patient outcomes (in healthcare)

  • Regulatory compliance issues

  • Lost productivity and revenue

  • Cultural dysfunction

Thinking

Does this describe your managers' experience?

☐ They're romoted to management but feel unprepared for complex decisions
☐ They spend too much time analyzing situations instead of acting confidently
☐ They wish they could predict which approach would work before trying it
☐ They feel like they're learning management through trial and error
☐ They want to advance but need to prove their leadership capability

What's Missing from Traditional Assessments

You've probably taken personality assessments, 360 reviews, or skills evaluations. Here's why they're not enough:

DISC/Myers-Briggs Tell You WHO You Are

But not how you'll handle a staffing crisis at 6 AM

360 Reviews Tell You WHAT Happened

But not how to predict which approach will work next time

Training Programs Teach WHAT to Do

But not HOW to think through novel situations

Performance Reviews Focus on Past Results

But don't help you improve future decisions

Skills Assessments Measure Knowledge

But not judgment in complex, ambiguous situations

You Need Predictive Intelligence, Not Just Self-Awareness

What if you could know, before making a decision, which approach would likely succeed? What if you could predict outcomes based on your specific strengths and the situation at hand?

That's exactly what the Leadership Index Assessment provides.

Introducing the Leadership Index Assessment

The Missing Piece in Leadership Development
While other assessments measure personality or past performance, the Leadership Index™ Assessment measures your ability to navigate future challenges.


Here's what makes this so different:

Predictive vs. Descriptive
Instead of telling you who you are, we predict how you'll perform in specific situations.
Competency-Based vs. Trait-Based
We measure skills you can develop, not fixed personality characteristics.
Situational vs. Generic
Real scenarios that mirror your actual management challenges, not theoretical examples.
Outcome-Focused vs. Process-Focused
We predict which decisions will succeed, not just how you prefer to work.


The Science Behind Your Results
Academic Foundation
Based on organizational psychology research with effect sizes of r=.34-.37 for predicting leadership success—among the strongest correlations in leadership science.
Validated Methodology
Combines situational judgment theory, situational awareness research, and adaptive leadership frameworks into a unified "Situational Intelligence" model.
Continuous Improvement
Our algorithm learns from real manager outcomes to improve prediction accuracy over time.

How it works.
