Twenty-four statements. Your first answer is usually the right one.

When the ground shifts under us, I move our priorities before the old plan starts to fail.

I make it safe for my team to change course publicly when new information arrives.

When the facts are incomplete, I stay analytical rather than reactive.

I deliberately seek out practices from outside our industry that could improve how we work.

People on my team can articulate, in their own words, why their work matters to the wider mission.

In meetings, I make sure the harder version of the conversation actually happens.

Constructive disagreement is a normal feature of how I run my team, not an exception.

I build working relationships across functions before I need them.

I make calls at roughly 70% certainty when waiting longer would cost momentum.

I hold a decision firmly until clear new evidence justifies revisiting it.

The people who execute my decisions understand the reasoning, not just the verdict.

I push decision authority as far down the organisation as the decision allows.

My commitment to inclusion shows up in how I structure decisions, not just in what I say.

I notice when the same voices are doing all the talking, and I intervene.

I deliberately check my own decisions for patterns that could disadvantage particular groups.

I weight expertise based on the strength of the argument, not the seniority of the source.

My team has seen me name, out loud, a mistake I made and what I learned from it.

I treat surfaced problems as a sign of trust, not a sign of complaint.

I can recall the last time I genuinely changed my position based on someone else's input.

I am comfortable saying “I don't know” without losing authority in the room.

The energy I bring on hard days raises my team's level rather than draining it.

I keep visible composure during sustained pressure, not just brief spikes.

I move toward conflict on my team rather than around it.

When something breaks, I look at the system that produced it before I look at the people involved.
