What's in this Leadership Shadow template

The Leadership Shadow toolkit includes the four-area diagnostic model, a self-audit worksheet with reflection prompts for each area, and facilitation guidance for running a shadow review with your leadership team. Use it to surface the gap between the culture you intend to create and the one your behaviour is actually reinforcing.

Tips for using it

Start with your own shadow before involving others - it builds credibility when you've already done the uncomfortable work of self-assessment. Pair the self-audit with honest feedback from people who see you lead daily. The most useful insight usually comes from "How You Measure" - it's the area leaders think about least but the one that shapes behaviour most powerfully.
