Free tools from the firm for boards and investors deciding who leads: a source counter that runs in your browser, one-page tests for the leadership decisions that come up most, and our newsletter.
Count how many genuinely separate sources sit behind your view of a founder or CEO. Seven questions, then a working map. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Eleven accounts of a leader can boil down to a handful of separate sources. The Source Map shows you how many you actually have, and what to do next at each count.
Each test comes from an issue of Leadership, Underwritten and fits on one page, with room for notes. Bring it to the board meeting or the investment committee.
Five tests before a decision that rests on one person. Use it before you appoint, extend or back a leader the room already knows well.
Five tests before a shared top seat. Use it before you appoint co-CEOs or split the top job between two leaders.
Five tests before backing a leader in a company that may change hands. Use it when a sale, merger or new owner could change the job the leader was chosen for.
Five tests for underwriting a new CEO’s first team. Use it when a new CEO is rebuilding the team.
Subscribe to Leadership, Underwritten and the full set arrives in your welcome email. New tests are added as new issues come out.
Every two weeks, one leadership decision from the news, read the way a diligence team would read it. Free, and written for board members, investors, family offices and their advisors.
