As leaders, our job is to effectively navigate diverse and, oftentimes, unexpected challenges for projects taking place within our organizations — particularly the ones where the stakes are the highest.

Missed deadlines, overspent budgets, disconnect between project expectations and the end result, and lack of mutual accountability are a few of the challenges — and the list could go on. But amid problem-solving these roadblocks, have you stopped to consider:

  • What may be some of the underlying causes of these organizational obstacles? 
  • Does my team have all of the resources they need to succeed?
  • What can I do or provide for my team that will ultimately lead them to triumph?


As you take this assessment, we want to encourage you to be as candid with your responses as possible. The ultimate goal of this assessment is to garner insight as to whether or not your team is set up for project success and, in the end, provide you with the tools and resources needed to smooth your friction points.
