CONNECTION & COMMUNICATION
Clear, consistent communication builds trust. This area explores how well you connect with your team, share updates, listen, and create space for people to speak up and feel heard.
PURPOSE & VISION
Great bosses give their team a reason to care. This section looks at whether your purpose and direction are clear, shared, and used to guide decisions and day-to-day work.
CULTURE & BEHAVIOUR
Culture is what your team does when you’re not in the room. This area checks whether your values are lived, your standards are clear, and behaviour reflects what you stand for.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR PEOPLE
No two team members are the same. This section focuses on how well you understand different personalities, motivators, and generations—and how you adapt your leadership to suit each person.
SYSTEMS & DELEGATION
If everything relies on you, your leadership isn’t sustainable. This section checks how well your systems support the team—and whether you delegate in a way that builds trust and ownership.
COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
Compliance and safety are more than tick-boxes—they’re the foundations of a well-led business. This area looks at how embedded your standards are and how confidently your team supports them.
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
Modern teams and patients care about values. This section covers sustainability, wellbeing, ethics, and community—what you’re doing beyond profit, and how you show up as a responsible business leader.
SELF-LEADERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT
You can’t lead others if you don’t lead yourself. This area explores how well you look after your own energy, learning, and growth—and whether you’ve built support around you.
PERFORMANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY
People want to do a good job—if they know what that looks like. This section covers goals, feedback, expectations, and how well you support and challenge performance across the team.
