The way you lead helps shape the everyday conditions your team works within. How you respond to questions, communicate expectations, manage changing priorities, provide support, and make decisions about workload can all influence how easy or difficult it is for people to do good work sustainably.

How Well Are You Supporting Your Team? is a reflective leadership assessment designed to help you look more closely at those everyday practices.

Rather than evaluating whether you’re a good or bad leader, the assessment focuses on the conditions your leadership may be helping create. It explores how consistently your current practices support open communication, useful support, sustainable work, effective performance, and clarity.

Leadership can be difficult to assess from the inside. Most leaders have a clear sense of how they want to lead, but intentions and everyday behaviour do not always line up perfectly, particularly during busy, uncertain, or demanding periods. This assessment encourages you to reflect on what you actually do, including the moments when supportive leadership requires more effort.

As you respond, think about your usual leadership over the past three months, or since you began leading your current team if that has been a shorter period. Consider what your team would actually see in your day-to-day leadership rather than what you intend to do or believe a good leader should do.

There are no perfect leaders and no perfect answers. Honest reflection will give you a more useful result.

Your results will help you recognize the supportive practices you may already have in place, identify where your approach could become more consistent, and consider practical opportunities to strengthen the conditions your team works within.
