How you compare
Indicative range · n = 142 leadership teams
You're 0.3 behind the typical operating system. Typically the read sits below the comfort line — most teams have clear gaps to close.
Your route from here
One flagship read, then the specialist work.
Your weakest signal sits in Stage 2 — Leadership and High Performance. The staging rule: don't escalate to the next stage until the prior one is in good shape — that's where the work pays off for the least effort.
Stage 1
Organisational Effectiveness
Flagship · Business Excellence
Stage 2 · You are here
Leadership and High Performance
Flagship · Seven Lenses on Performance
Stage 3
Teams and Organisational Dynamics
Flagship · Strategic Inquiry (Process Enneagram + Charter)
Stage 2. Verify the operating system is sound first — leadership work compounds when the system underneath is in shape.

Business Excellence
24 statements · 8 elements · 15 min

Your diagnostic answers pre-fill 10 of its 24 statements — you won't re-rate what you just rated.

Seven Lenses
21 statements · 7 lenses · 12 min
Based on your weakest signal, the flagship is likely to surface this as the limiting element — the specialist work that follows the flagship read.
You don't need to skip ahead. The flagship reads all 8 elements; the specialist is one of them.
