Leadership Review

Comprehensive leadership evaluation

Six rooms: two self-assessments, two anonymous team assessments, a simulation and a planning document. An HR or L&D lead runs it and the group meets where it applies. The simulation is built around each manager's role and seniority, the rest around their own situation. Unlimited attempts.

How the program works

A six-week facilitator-led program for a cohort of four to ten managers, run by an HR or L&D lead, built on Renatus. Two self-assessments, two multi-respondent team assessments, one simulation and one document room · Six weeks, one room and one live session a week · Unlimited attempts · Run again at day ninety and ongoing.

The rooms

Leadership Style

Assessment

Calibration: role title and leadership level (team lead, manager, senior manager, director, C-suite or founder), and team or organisation size and the kinds of decisions they make.

Strengths Profile

Assessment

Calibration: role title and level (early manager, manager, senior manager, director, C-suite or founder).

Team Alignment

Assessment

You invite the direct reports as respondents, and the manager responds too.

Team Dynamics

Assessment

As in week 3, with the same respondents.

Performance Conversation

Simulation

Calibration: role title, situation type (coaching a high performer, underperformance, a PIP or an exit conversation), industry or sector, and a brief description of the working context.

Execution Plan

Framework

Set-up: what they are trying to achieve and by when, where they are now, the four-phase execution timeline, the things that absolutely must happen, who is responsible for each item, what could derail the plan, and how they will measure progress.

Why this program exists

A manager has an account of how they lead, and their team has an account of how it lands, and the two are rarely put side by side. This program prepares managers through private assessment, an anonymous synthesis from their own team, one rehearsal and a written plan, with a live session each week. Ren takes each manager's account of how they lead, gathers the team's account of how it lands, plays the direct report in the conversation the gap points at, and builds the development plan from what the manager states in the room.

What you'll achieve

Two private profiles: how they lead by their own account, and their strengths with the cost of each when overplayed
Two team syntheses, gathered anonymously: whether the team's priorities are the ones they set, and how it works when it is honest
A scored rehearsal of the conversation the gap points at, and a development plan with a checkable goal, owners, dates, risks and measures
Unlimited attempts on every room, each scored on the same dimensions and charted against every attempt before it

At a glance

Who it's for: Managers with direct reports, in a cohort of four to ten: team leads a year in, managers and senior managers in a development cycle, and directors whose reports are managers themselves. Every room calibrates to role and level, so a team lead and a director are read at their own level in the same cohort. Each manager needs at least three direct reports willing to respond in weeks 3 and 4, and a line manager willing to own a milestone in week 6. It assumes the managers already run their teams.
Cadence: 6 weeks

4: How it lands · Team Dynamics · Invite each team's respondents; read What No One Says and Decision Making per team
5: Feedback under pushback · Performance Conversation · Read Clarity of Message and Empathy under Pressure; read the team report
6: Development plan with owners · Execution Plan · Read each plan for the line manager's name; run the plan check

Session by session

Week 1: Leadership defaults

Put each manager's own account of how they lead on the record before their team's arrives, with the evidence behind it.

Leadership Style

Week 2: Strengths and their cost

Name the strengths each manager's evidence supports, and the cost each carries when overplayed, before the team says where it pays that cost.

Strengths Profile

Week 3: Priorities as they land

Show each manager whether the priorities they set are the priorities their team names, and where the team only appears aligned.

Team Alignment

Week 4: How it lands

Put each manager's own account next to the team's account of how the team works, and name the gap in one sentence.

Team Dynamics

Week 5: Feedback under pushback

Hold the conversation the gap points at, with a direct report who pushes back, and see whether the manager's account holds under it.

Performance Conversation

Week 6: Development plan with owners

Turn the gap and the rehearsal into a development plan with a checkable goal, owners, dates, risks and measures, and get the line manager's name on a milestone.

Execution Plan

Two self profiles, two team syntheses, one rehearsal and one development plan per manager, over six weeks.
