Kaizen Summit Mentoring Self-Assessment

Your answers give us the context we need to select the mentor best placed to work with you. There are no right answers. We read every response, and the more open you are, the better the match we can make. This takes about seven minutes.

About you

Where you are

Every leader carries pressure points. Most of the leaders we work with recognise several of these. Which feel familiar right now? (Tick any that apply.)

Carrying too much myself because handing things over feels risky

A difficult conversation I keep finding reasons to postpone

A team that waits to be told rather than takes ownership

Feeling less sure than the title suggests I should be

The business moving forward at a personal cost

Something else

If you selected something else, tell us here.

Start with something good. Tell us about a recent moment, at work or at home, where your leadership made a difference.

How many people do you lead, directly or indirectly?

Describe one recent situation you would handle differently if you could run it again. What happened, and what did you do at the time?

Our method is built on ownership. Where in your leadership are you most tempted to wait for something outside you to change first?

If we asked the people you lead what you're like to work for, what would they say? Include what you suspect they'd only say quietly.

Where you want to be

What do you want to be different in six months? Up to three things, as specific as you can make them.

Goal 1
Goal 2
Goal 3

How will you know it is working? What would you see or hear, from your team, your family or yourself, that tells you something has changed?

Working with your mentor

What matters most to you in how you lead? Your standards, your non-negotiables, the things you will not trade.

When feedback lands best for you, it is:

Direct and to the point

Talked through together

Built up to, with the good stuff first

It depends

And when you're stuck, what do you want your mentor to do first: push you, listen, or share how they'd play it?

Boundaries and commitment

Mentoring runs on two calls a month plus what you do between them. What can you give it in a normal week?

Under an hour

One to two hours

Two hours or more

I am not sure yet

Is there anything you would rather keep out of mentoring conversations? We treat this as a firm line, not a suggestion.

Anything else we should know about you, your world, or what you are walking in with?
