Now is the ideal time to consider what qualities have enabled your organization to develop its imperative strength – and what you must do to sustain it.

56% to 70% – CHALLENGED
Your organization seems to be operating with a weak or inconsistent sense of clarity and confidence. Don't despair, that situation can be quickly remedied! Creating an imperative plan will help you define the “necessary progress” your organization needs to dramatically increase its imperative strength score – and lift its productivity, morale, level of stakeholder support.
20% to 55% – CONCERNED
Your organization is struggling with its clarity and confidence. Don’t give up! This self-assessment isn't a death sentence - it's a wake-up call for you to craft an imperative plan for your organization. Your first task is to share this tool with others on your team and ask whether they see the situation the same way you do. It’s not unusual for people within the same organization to have totally different assessments of what's going on. Now is the opportune time to convene some courageous conversations about what can or must change. For sure, you should proceed with a sense of urgency.
