The Cultivation Effect®
Leadership Diagnostic

The things that got you here —
may be the very things holding you back.

Why Knowing Is Necessary

High-performing leaders don't fail because they lack effort or intelligence.
They stall because the patterns that once drove success begin to limit growth under pressure.

This diagnostic helps you identify those patterns —
and what to do next.

Begin the Diagnostic
5 Minutes • Private results • Actionable insight

Most leadership challenges aren't skill gaps.

They're pattern problems.

Under stress, leaders tend to:

• Over-function instead of empower
• Default to control instead of clarity
• Push harder instead of slowing down
• Solve symptoms instead of addressing root causes

These patterns often look like strength —
until they quietly create friction.

The result?

• Burnout
• Decision fatigue
• Misalignment
• Repeating the same issues with new faces

This diagnostic reveals why those patterns exist —
and how to interrupt them

What You'll Walk Away With

Upon completion of the diagnostic, you'll have:

• A clear view of your dominant leadership pattern.
• Language to name what's been happening beneath the surface.
• A grounded recommendation for what to do next.
• A bridge to tools, facilitation, or reflection — if you choose
to further the work

This diagnostic is part of a larger system

The Cultivation Effect® framework helps leaders move from insight to integration.

This diagnostic often serves as the starting point for:

• Keynotes that shift perspective at scale.
• Facilitated Experiences that interrupt patterns in real time.
• The Workbook for sustained reflection and application.

You decide how far you want to go.

Clarity doesn't come from doing more. It comes from seeing differently.
