Can you pass the CEO test?
Most founders I work with are exceptional at building products. They're less exceptional at knowing themselves.
The gap shows up in predictable ways: a leadership team that tiptoes around you, a calendar that owns you, a nagging sense that you're falling behind despite all evidence to the contrary.
I've put together two diagnostics I use with the founders I coach:
The CEO Test
35 questions across 7 leadership challenges. Takes 15 minutes. Most founders find at least one score that surprises them.The 4 Relationships Framework
Forget "work-life balance." Your life is shaped by four relationships: Work, Loved Ones, Self, and Existence. Which one are you neglecting?
