The Connected Leader Assessment
You already know your role is more than diary management, inboxes and meeting notes.
​
The real work often sits in the moments that are harder to measure: knowing what matters, reading the room, influencing without authority, spotting what is missing and staying steady when everything is moving quickly.
The Connected Leader Assessment helps you understand the professional capabilities that shape your contribution as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant or Chief of Staff.
​
It gives you a clearer picture of where you are already strong, where you may be ready to stretch, and which development areas could make the biggest difference next.
​
35 statements. Five leadership capabilities. Around 10 minutes.
What this assessment measures
The Connected Leader Assessment looks at five capabilities that define modern support and strategic partnership roles.
​
These are not abstract leadership theories. They are the practical capabilities you use when you prioritise, influence, communicate, protect capacity and help leadership focus on what matters most.
The five dimensions
Judgement and Decision-Making
How you identify what matters, decide what to escalate, balance speed with accuracy and make sound calls when the full picture is not available.
Influence and Stakeholder Trust
How you build credibility, navigate relationships and shape outcomes without relying on formal authority.
Strategic Contribution
How you connect day-to-day work to wider organisational outcomes, spot gaps early and help leadership focus on what matters most.
Communication and Presence
How you communicate with clarity, confidence and adaptability across meetings, written updates and senior conversations.
Sustainable Performance
How you protect your capacity, maintain your judgement under pressure and work in a way that can be sustained over time.
Why take the assessment?
Because “being good at the role” is often too vague to be useful.
You may know you are capable. You may know people trust you. You may also know there are parts of your contribution that are difficult to explain, evidence or develop with intention.
​
This assessment gives language to the value you already bring. It also helps you see where to focus next, so your development feels practical rather than generic.
​
It is designed for reflection, not comparison. Your result is not about ranking you against other people. It is about understanding the shape of your own contribution and deciding where to invest your energy next.
