Lead the way your team actually needs you to.
Most leaders are doing their best. What they can't see is the gap between the leadership they intend and the leadership their team experiences. The Momentum Leadership Assessment turns that gap into something you can see, measure, and close.

The real leadership gap
The problem is rarely effort. It's consistency and perception.
Leadership rarely breaks in obvious ways. It gets uneven. It depends on who you report to. And the way a leader sees their own impact often drifts from the way their people feel it day to day.
Leadership is experienced as inconsistent
Good intentions don't scale on their own. When the experience of being led changes from manager to manager, culture can't take hold.
Intention drifts from experience
Most leaders believe they coach, empower, and develop more than their teams actually feel. That gap quietly erodes trust and credibility.
"Good leadership" stays abstract
You can't improve what you can't name. Without observable behaviors to anchor to, development stalls at vague feedback and good advice.
Why Momentum Leadership
A clear standard for how great leaders actually behave.
Momentum Leadership was built from work inside more than 30 Fortune 500 organizations to answer one question: what do the leaders people trust and grow under actually do? The answer became the Momentum Leadership Competency Model — a practical map of the mindsets, skills, and behaviors that build momentum in the people around you.
The assessment is your entry point. It takes that model and turns it into a personal read on where your leadership is strong, where it's inconsistent, and where a small shift would create the biggest lift for your team.
What the assessment measures
Four core areas. Twelve competencies. All observable.
Every competency is measured through three real, observable behaviors — the kind a teammate could actually watch you do. Twelve competencies, three questions each: thirty-six signals of how you lead.
Inspiring Growth Through Presence
Regulating Self to Engage Others
Empowering Ownership & Performance
Building a Trusted Culture of Coaching
The two dimensions underneath
Every behavior maps to Capability × Connection.
The strongest leaders don't choose between driving performance and building trust. They do both. Your results show where you sit on the two dimensions that make momentum possible.
Do you build the how?
Clarity, empowerment, challenge, and follow-through — the skill of developing people and performance in a consistent, effective way.
Do you build the trust?
Presence, belief, safety, and genuine investment — whether people experience you as growth-minded and truly on their side.

Self-assessment · Team assessment
See yourself first. Then see the gap.
The assessment starts with you — an honest read on your own leadership. The bigger insight comes when you add your team. When their view sits next to yours, you see exactly where your intended leadership and their lived experience line up, and where they don't.
That dissonance is where the real growth lives. Setting up a team assessment takes a short conversation.
