About this assessment

Most staffing mistakes are not character failures, they are placement failures. Built on Dr. Mark Rutland's finder, binder, minder, grinder framework, this asks fifty questions, including ten head-to-head choices that cut through the flattery most self-assessments invite. You pick your lens first, whether you are reading this for yourself, for your team, or because you place people.

This is for you if…
  • You want to lead in a healthier way.
  • You're looking for where you fit and serve best.
What it measures
  • 4 contribution styles: Finder, Binder, Minder, Grinder
  • Your primary style and the one behind it
  • The organizational season you do your best work in
What you'll walk away with
  • Your profile shape, adjusted for how generously you rate yourself
  • Your number one check, the blind spot that rides along with your strength
  • Four growth steps, a Scripture, and questions written for your lens

Built on Dr. Mark Rutland's ministry application of the finder, binder, minder, grinder framework. Selecting the Staff for Success, National Institute of Christian Leadership. Used with permission. Assessment items, scoring, and interpretation are original.
