01
Direction
What are we trying to accomplish?
Purpose, ambition, strategic choices, priorities, and tradeoffs.
Five lenses and limits
Direction → Design → Talent → Performance → Culture
Work & Theory starts with the work an organization must accomplish, then examines whether people have a workable way to do it.
02
Design
What organization does the work require?
Roles, decision rights, workflow, information flow, and critical interfaces.
03
Talent
Who can do the work?
Capability, capacity, commitment, and the context required to succeed.
04
Performance
How will we know the organization is working?
Outcomes, expectations, authority, feedback, development, and consequences.
05
Culture
What behaviors sustain the system?
What people consistently expect, reward, tolerate, reinforce, and model.
What the model assesses
The Health Check and Diagnostic organize the evidence a leader provides into questions about work, operating conditions, and leadership choices. The free result is a response-based starting point; the paid Diagnostic provides a fuller structured leadership read.
How to interpret results
Use results as hypotheses to test in the next leadership conversation. Start with the lowest-scoring condition, examine the contributing evidence, and choose a small first action before changing people or systems broadly.
What it does not claim
It does not establish cause, diagnose people, provide an organization-wide finding, replace interviews or protected colleague input, offer legal advice, or substitute for leadership judgment.
Privacy boundary
Health Check progress is stored locally in the browser until you submit. Submitted scorecards are associated with the contact information you provide so they can be reopened from the same device or later dashboard flow. Individual 360 responses remain private; leadership sees aggregate findings only.
