We invite you to participate in this insightful personal leadership assessment designed to inspire an awareness, often unknowingly ignored, while providing a reflective opportunity to deepen your impact and influence as a leader. This assessment has been informed and designed by John G. Blumberg’s deep work on the re-imagination of the understanding of the essence of integrity. Over the last two decades, Blumberg refocused the core of his work on leadership skills to the very essence of what fueled the value and effectiveness of every leadership skill. His work on this was initially captured in his book, Return On Integrity: The New Definition of ROI and Why Leaders Need to Know It. This work has continued to evolve and deepen ever since. No prior reading of this book is necessary to complete this assessment and receive value from its informative results. To get the most from this assessment, each of the following is important to consider:
  • Consider each question with a raw discernment to bring you the most value. It is designed to let you take an honest look within. This assessment is not about what you hope for, feel obligated to strive for, or feel pressure to measure for. It is simply a “present moment” snapshot – certainly not an assessment or judgement of your integrity, but rather an analysis of your level of awareness, depth of understanding and conscious everyday experience of living within an essence of integrity. It shines the light on your true experience if you intentionally answer each question in the way you most truthfully experience it.
  • The value of your results isn’t measured by the height of your score, but by the depth of your discovery. We live in a world that often rewards for “playing the part.” This assessment offers the opportunity to unleash your natural potential of a deeper fulfillment in “being the part.”
  • This assessment contains 50 questions. By design, the questions are in a random order. Likewise, the response choices are also in a random order question-to-question. This allows each question to stand on its own without reference or progression to or from the questions around it. You can review and change your responses as often as you would like until you finally click on the “submit button” below question 50. That said, often your immediate gut response is often the most accurate if you stay in a mindset of being as raw, real and as honest as possible. You must answer all 50 questions before you can submit your assessment for scoring. If you click the “submit button” and have not answered one or more questions, it will direct you specifically to the unanswered questions for your response.
  • Our hope is that the gift of this assessment will serve as a teachable moment that invites you into a deeper understanding of integrity beyond shallow conventional wisdom. It is crafted to meet you where you are, and just as you are, encouraging thoughtful reflection and honest discernment. We hope it will provide you the opportunity to uncover untapped potential and highlight areas for growth – ultimately guiding you towards a continually more integrated and holistic approach to leadership.
  • As you proceed through each question, we encourage you to take your time and consider each question carefully and thoughtfully. Again, the true benefit of this assessment lies in your very raw, real and honest engagement with each question.
