Leadership Leaks Quick Check™

What might be happening beneath the surface?

Every organization has the capacity to align, communicate, act, connect, learn, and perform effectively. And every organization can experience conditions that quietly drain that capacity. Leadership Leaks™ are patterns within a leadership ecosystem that may quietly reduce the capacity leaders and organizations need to function effectively.

The Seven Leadership Leaks™ explored in this Quick Check are:

💧 Meaning — Shared understanding of who we are, what we stand for, where we're going, and what our organizational experiences mean.

💧 Trust — The ability to rely on leadership, communication, follow-through, and organizational responses.

💧 Clarity — The translation of organizational priorities into clear action, expectations, responsibilities, decisions, and measures of success.

💧 Courage — The willingness to acknowledge difficult realities, have necessary conversations, take thoughtful risks, and act despite discomfort.

💧 Ownership — The agency, empowerment, responsibility, and accountability needed for people to appropriately own their work and organizational outcomes.

💧 Connection — The relationships, collaboration, belonging, and human connection that strengthen how people work together.

💧 Reflection — The willingness to pause, understand what is happening, learn from experience, examine assumptions, and make informed decisions about what comes next.
