The resources in this hub are designed to help boards and senior leadership teams surface the human systems shaping organisational performance — — the patterns of leadership behaviour, decision-making, power and culture that sit beneath strategy, structure and intent. They are not frameworks to be implemented or programmes to be rolled out. They are diagnostic and reflective tools that make visible what is often sensed but difficult to name: where execution slows, where tension is avoided, where difference is under-used, and where leadership systems no longer support the outcomes required. Used thoughtfully, these resources help leaders see the system they are part of — and begin clearer, more informed conversations about what may need to shift next.
Each resource is designed to be used by boards, executive teams or senior leaders — individually or collectively — often in preparation for a key conversation, decision or inflection point.
The purpose is not diagnosis for its own sake, but clarity:
Working with those patterns requires leadership attention and, in many cases, deeper system-level work.
Leadership teams rarely struggle because of a lack of talent or commitment. More often, performance is shaped by how disagreement is handled, how authority is exercised, and how accountability operates when stakes are high.
This resource supports leadership teams to examine how they function as a collective — particularly where recurring patterns of tension, avoidance or decision rework are present.
Use this diagnostic to see how your leadership team actually operates — not how it intends to.
A structured assessment of leadership team dynamics, decision-making, trust and psychological safety. It surfaces the patterns that quietly shape execution under pressure and highlights where leadership behaviour may be enabling — or undermining — performance.
This is often a first step toward understanding where leadership team effectiveness needs to be strengthened.
Use this pulse to surface what is working — and where alignment may be more assumed than real.
A focused diagnostic designed to surface the quality of alignment, challenge and trust between boards and executive leadership. It highlights where expectations diverge, where accountability blurs, and where decisions may be compromised before issues become visible risks. Often used as a starting point for more honest board–executive conversations.
At senior levels, leadership effectiveness is less about capability and more about judgement under pressure. Decisions are made with incomplete information, under scrutiny, and with real organisational consequence.
This resource helps boards and executive leaders reflect on how alignment, challenge and trust are functioning — and where misalignment may be quietly affecting decision quality and accountability.
Culture is not what organisations say they value. It is what leadership behaviour, systems and decisions make possible — or difficult — over time.
This resource helps leaders identify early warning signs that culture may be undermining performance, trust or strategic delivery — often well before formal metrics reveal a problem.
Use this tool to spot cultural risk early — before it becomes performance or reputational risk.
A practical diagnostic that helps leaders identify subtle but significant signals of cultural risk, including decision bottlenecks, disengagement, silence and patterns of behaviour that are being tolerated rather than addressed.
Designed to support timely leadership action, not retrospective fixes.
These resources are designed to surface patterns — not to resolve them in isolation.
Shifting how leadership teams operate, how decisions are made, or how culture is experienced requires working directly with leadership behaviour and human systems over time. Where these tools highlight persistent or high-stakes issues, deeper advisory work is often required.
If you are a board, executive team or senior leader using these resources and would value support in working with what they surface, you can explore my approach to:
Whether you’re seeking to strengthen leadership team effectiveness, build psychological safety, or align culture with strategy — I partner with senior leadership teams to create the conditions where strategy is delivered effectively and difference drives sustained competitive value.
