Some decisions you compute; some you have to author. Confusing the two is why leaders get stuck. This reads how you decide. Six questions.
Answer for how you tend to handle genuinely hard decisions — the ones that matter and don’t resolve themselves. The questions look at whether you can commit when there’s no clean right answer.
The Decision-Making Diagnostic is a free decision-making style assessment from Impact Thinking — 6 statements, about three minutes, built directly on the frameworks published on our research desk. It reads what you actually do under decision pressure — whether you can tell analysis-shaped decisions from stand-shaped ones, commit, and back the call afterwards.
It’s built for leaders whose big calls stall, wobble, or get relitigated. The free read returns your band and profile immediately, with an interpretation of what the result means and the one thing it suggests you can’t currently see. It pairs with Being a Leader II — Leadership as Natural Self-Expression, the programme built on the same ground.
It reads what you actually do under decision pressure — whether you can tell analysis-shaped decisions from stand-shaped ones, commit, and back the call afterwards. It reads 6 statements and returns a banded profile with a deep interpretation.
About three minutes — 6 statements on a five-point scale. The read is free and immediate: your band, your profile, and the blind spot it points to. A full personalised report, benchmarked against other leaders, is £95; a whole-team report is £495.
It’s a structured self-assessment built on the frameworks published on our research desk — designed for development, team performance and measurement, not for hiring decisions. For selection contexts we run structured engagements where instruments inform, and never replace, human judgment.
Often because a stand-shaped decision is being treated as an analysis problem — ‘more data’ standing in for the discomfort of declaring. The diagnostic reads where your pattern stalls and what a real close looks like.
