The Leadership Systems Diagnostic™
When burnout, turnover, and decision breakdowns keep repeating
Organizations in helping professions and mission-driven work are facing more than staffing challenges. They are navigating chronic burnout, compassion fatigue, disengagement, and leadership decision fatigue—often without clear visibility into why these patterns persist.
The Leadership Systems Diagnostic™ helps organizations identify how leadership behaviors, decision structures, and relational dynamics are shaping psychological safety, trust, retention, and organizational stability—before these issues escalate into turnover, reputational risk, or service disruption.
This diagnostic is designed for organizations that need clarity before committing to solutions.
What This Diagnostic Is Designed to Clarify
This diagnostic is designed for organizations that need clarity before committing to solutions.
Many organizations attempt to address burnout and turnover through surface-level interventions—policy changes, wellness initiatives, or additional training—without first understanding how leadership practices are influencing the day-to-day experience of teams.
The Leadership Systems Diagnostic™ helps organizations clearly see:
- why burnout and compassion fatigue are occurring
- where psychological safety is breaking down
- how leadership behaviors are impacting trust, engagement, and decision-making
- where leadership responsibility and authority may be misaligned
- how these patterns affect retention, performance, and organizational risk
This is not a performance review.
It is a leadership behavior diagnostic.
Diagnostic Core: Leadership for Psychological Well-being
A Research-Informed Leadership Assessment Built for Mission-Driven Organizations
At the center of the Leadership Systems Diagnostic™ is the Leadership for Psychological Well-Being Scale™ (LPWS)—a research-informed leadership assessment developed specifically for helping professions and mission-driven organizations.
The LPWS is designed to measure leadership behaviors and mindsets that directly shape psychological safety, trust, burnout risk, and organizational climate. Rather than capturing surface perceptions, the scale focuses on how leadership practices influence the lived experience of teams—particularly in high-demand, people-centered environments.
This allows organizations to move beyond assumptions and gain specific, actionable insight into how leadership behaviors are contributing to retention challenges, decision breakdowns, and workforce stability.
Leadership Behaviors That Shape Organizational Health
Unlike traditional leadership or engagement surveys, the LPWS measures leadership behaviors and mindsets that directly influence:
- psychological safety
- trust and relational stability
- burnout and compassion fatigue risk
- team resilience and organizational climate
Six Core Leadership Domains Assessed
The scale includes 42 items across six leadership domains:
- Trauma-Informed Awareness
- Burnout & Compassion Fatigue Sensitivity
- Emotional Intelligence
- Human-Centered Leadership Values
- Psychological Safety Promotion
- Empathetic Communication & Relational Trust
This allows organizations to move beyond assumptions and gain specific, actionable insight into how leadership practices are shaping the internal environment.
