Self-assessment for leadership · 3 minutes

Which step is your operation on?

Capture, order, govern, decide. Eight yes-or-no questions, two per step. Your answers are never sent or stored: the result is calculated in your browser.

STEP 1 Capture

What you already have: payroll in spreadsheets, invoices by email, contracts in PDF, changes announced in a chat.

Does the information about people, purchases and customers exist somewhere, even in spreadsheets, email or chat?

Do you know where to find each thing (payroll, this month’s invoices, contracts) without asking one specific person?

STEP 2 Order

One record per person, supplier and customer. One catalog of positions, cost centers and currencies.

Does every person, supplier and customer exist exactly once, with no duplicates or names spelled several ways?

Do all areas use the same catalog of positions, cost centers and currencies?

STEP 3 Govern

Every change with user and date. Rules that decide who approves and what stops when evidence is missing.

Is every change (a position, a supplier, a commercial term) recorded with who made it and when?

Are there written rules that decide who approves and what stops when evidence is missing, without relying on an email?

STEP 4 Decide and foresee

Questions with answers, and signals before they hurt.

Can you answer questions like "how much real overtime did each area have" or "which supplier concentrates the exceptions" in minutes?

Do you see signals before they hurt, for example which renewals expire in the next 90 days?

How it is scored: you move up a step only when you answer "yes" to both of its questions and to every question before it.
