About this assessment

Christian leadership rests on a three-legged stool. Spirituality is loving God. Chemistry is loving people. Strategy is loving the world by fulfilling God's mission. On top of the legs sits Leadership itself. In about five minutes, 48 honest statements adapted to your exact ministry role, this assessment measures all three legs and nine foundations, names your leadership style from the six possible orderings, and hands you a full report: your genius and your shadow, a biblical mirror, a 90-day plan, team pairings, and a coaching guide. No style is better than another. Each is a stewardship, and the Church needs all six.

Based on the Leadership Stool framework from David T. Olson's book
