The Reality

Most managers never find out how they’re really doing.

Performance reviews measure your team’s output — not how you made them feel getting there. Your one-on-one meetings give you what people are willing to say out loud. But the real experience — whether your team feels coached, recognized, respected, empowered — lives in the gap between what they tell you and what they’d say anonymously.

The Leadership Impact Index closes that gap. In nine dimensions. Validated by the same research team at Mayo Clinic that produced 14 peer-reviewed studies on leadership and team wellbeing. You’ll know exactly where you’re strong, where you’re leaving potential on the table, and how you’re trending over time.

Leadership Impact Index
Anonymity & Trust

Your team will tell you the truth — because they know they can

The single biggest obstacle to honest feedback is fear. Respondents who believe they can be identified give safe answers — not useful ones. The Leadership Impact Index was built to eliminate that fear entirely.

Minimum five responses before any scores are revealed

Scores are locked until the threshold is met. This is enforced by the system — administrators cannot override it, and you cannot see individual responses, only aggregated scores.

No individual responses visible — ever

The platform shows scores and trends. It never reveals which team member chose which rating. Respondent identity is never tracked or stored alongside their answers.

The invite email makes the anonymity promise explicit

Every respondent receives an email that states the anonymous nature of the assessment and the minimum-response threshold. Informed respondents are honest respondents.

The 9 Dimensions

Nine questions. Nine dimensions of leadership.

The Leadership Impact Index was developed at Mayo Clinic to measure the nine dimensions of leadership behavior most predictive of team satisfaction, retention, and performance. Each dimension gets a score. Each score gets a trend. Together, they tell you more about your leadership than any performance review ever could.

Your Growth Path

One assessment is the start.
Tracking over time is the point.

The Leadership Impact Index is designed to run repeatedly — so you can see your leadership evolve, validate the habits you’re building, and course-correct before small gaps become big ones.

01

Run your baseline

Deploy your first assessment and get a clear picture of how your team experiences your leadership across all nine dimensions. This is your honest starting point — not a judgment, but a map.

Know your starting point
02

Focus on two or three dimensions

Your report shows which dimensions are strongest and which have the most growth potential. Pick two or three to develop intentionally — through habit change, reading, or working with a coach.

Targeted growth, not generic development
03

Run a follow-up — and see what moved

Run the assessment again after a development period. Your Score Trajectory view shows improvement over time, dimension by dimension. You’ll see exactly what changed — and what still needs work.

FAQ

Questions from individual leaders

You can deploy the Leadership Impact Index directly — no organizational approval required. Create your own account, add your team members as respondents, and run your assessment independently. Results are yours and private to your account.
Not unless you share them. Your Leader Detail report is private by default. If your organization deploys the Leadership Impact Index company-wide, your scores may appear in the Organization Heatmap visible to HR administrators — this is typically disclosed during company-wide rollout.
The minimum five-response threshold protects anonymity. If you have fewer than five direct reports, you can include skip-level team members, cross-functional partners, or peers who work closely with you to reach the threshold — giving you a richer picture of your leadership impact.
Most leaders see the most value running every 60–90 days. This gives enough time for habits to shift and for your team to notice the change, while still providing enough data points to track meaningful trends over a year.
Traditional 360-degree assessments take 30–60 minutes per respondent, cost thousands of dollars, and require certified facilitators to interpret. The Leadership Impact Index takes under 60 seconds, costs $100 per assessment, is fully self-administered, and gives you results immediately. It was developed and validated specifically at Mayo Clinic.
