The Self-Leadership Stance inventory

A baseline of the five daily actions at the center of the book: start with yourself, be curious, access resources, cultivate discipline, and show compassion. There are no right or wrong scores. The point is an honest starting line you can revisit as you grow. New to the framework? Read about the Stance first.

This runs entirely in your browser. Your answers never leave this device. If you choose to save a result, it stays in this browser’s own storage so the page can show what has changed when you take the inventory again. Come back on the same device and browser to compare, and delete a saved result whenever you like.

Rate each statement from 1 (rarely) to 5 (almost always), thinking about how you usually act, not how you wish you acted.

Answer the ten statements, then choose “See my results.” You'll get a profile across the five actions and a suggested place to focus first.

The five actions, the ten statements, and the 1-to-5 scale are from Chapter 1, “Self-Leadership Baseline Assessment,” of Crocco, O. S., Greer, T. W., & Gibbons, E. A. (2026). Foundations of Leadership Development: The Self-Leadership Journey. Palgrave Macmillan.

The book frames this as a baseline to establish at the start of a course and revisit in Chapter 14, where you build a full self-leadership development plan.
