What 10,000+ leaders taught us

The assessment is built on insights from two major global studies — not conventional wisdom, not theory. Proven.

Point Perception Gap

Our global surveys reveal a typical 30-point gap between how leaders rate themselves and how their teams rate them. We chalk this up to two factors: (1) Leaders are by nature optimistic, and (2) far too many leaders are our of touch with those they lead. Proceed with caution if you scored extremely high.

Leaders Surveyed

The assessment is built on insights from our two most recent global surveys with more than 10,000 participants. The questions are designed to reveal where your greatest opportunities lie–think of it as a diagnostic scan of your leadership hard drive.

Recommend Frequency

We suggest you take this assessment every six months for the rest of your career. Regardless of your current scores, you can improve. You must start where you are, but you do not have to stay there.

What Leaders are Saying

About This Assessment

“The Secret has a way of asking the right questions that draw out deep reflection and spark real ‘aha’ moments. It encourages honest self-evaluation and helped me think differently about how I lead and build trust within my team”

Natalie Copeland
CMO, Snellings Walters

“I’ve learned from some of the best leadership minds out there, but Mark Miller and Ken Blanchard break down the mystery of leadership in the simplest, most effective way I’ve seen. Hugely beneficial for anyone who wants to lead themselves and others better.”

Aaron Witt
Founder, BuildWitt

“In my 30-plus years of leadership experience, I’ve seen how a leader’s past success can become a limitation if they don’t evolve. Mark Miller and Ken Blanchard strip away the complexity and provide a clear, practical roadmap to becoming a better leader based on real-world application.”

Colonel Glenn C. Schmick
Army Advisor, Air War College

“The Secret is engaging from start to finish and holds your attention in a way most leadership books don’t. It challenges you to think differently, connects deeply to real leadership situations, and delivers insights that truly stick.”

Director of Restaurant Dev.
Chick-fil-A Inc

Your score isn’t a verdict. It’s a starting point.

Every exceptional leader we’ve known started somewhere. The difference between leaders who dramatically improve and those who stay stuck isn’t raw talent — it’s the willingness to embrace a proven system and practice it consistently.

Common Questions About the Assessment

01
Is the leadership assessment really free?
Yes. You’ll get your overall score out of 100, a breakdown across all three LED OS disciplines, and gap alerts with specific next steps. No email required to see your results.
02
How long does the assessment take?
About five minutes. Twenty statements, a 5-point scale, results calculated immediately. It’s designed for leaders who don’t have time to spare but still want a useful read on where they stand.
03
What does the leadership assessment measure?
Three disciplines from the Lead Every Day Operating System: how you’re growing as a leader, how you’re building and leading your team, and how you’re developing your organization’s culture and engagement. Each discipline scores separately, so you’ll see precisely where the gaps are rather than getting a single number with no context.
04
How accurate is this leadership diagnostic?
The questions come from two global studies with more than 10,000 participants across healthcare, financial services, consulting, HR, and technology. The 30-point self-assessment gap holds across every industry and seniority level we’ve studied. The assessment is calibrated for that — which is why we recommend erring toward the lower score when you’re between two ratings.
05
How often should I retake the assessment?
Every six months. That’s enough time to make real progress on your lowest-scoring areas before you measure again. We’ve seen leaders improve dramatically inside that window when they’re working from a clear picture of where they started.
06
What happens after I take the assessment?
You get a report with your overall score, discipline scores, and specific guidance for your weakest areas. If you want to go further, the LED OS gives you a path forward — through coaching with our certified coaches, the LED Academy, or Mark and Randy’s books.
