A scoring instrument for the hidden risks that derail a leadership transition before anyone names them.
This worksheet is built to surface succession risk factors honestly, before they shape outcomes no one intended.
Each of the ten domains is scored on a one-to-five scale. A one signals high risk, with no evidence of capability or active resistance to the work. A five signals low risk, with evidence of strength, clarity and alignment. Scores in the middle are honest acknowledgements of work still to do.
It works best when scored by several parties independently, before the conversation. The comparison between their scores becomes the source of insight. Use it during board sessions, leadership retreats, or alongside the LeadLab IQ simulator.
Score the same ten domains independently, then compare. The gaps between your readings are where the real risk sits.
A candid read on the factors that quietly define whether a handover holds or unravels.
A structured instrument to bring to a board session or retreat, turning a vague sense of risk into ten scored domains.
A single diagnostic that scores the factors defining legacy failure or success, and turns the result into a conversation worth having.
The factors that most often derail otherwise capable transitions, each defined so that it can be scored honestly rather than optimistically.
10 domainsA clear scale from high risk to low risk, with each point described, so different scorers apply the same standard.
1–5 scaleGuidance on scoring separately before the conversation, so the difference between readings surfaces the risk no single view would catch.
Designed for board sessions, leadership retreats, and use alongside the LeadLab IQ simulator, as a live instrument rather than a one-off.
