Discover the Gap Between Your Intention and Your Impact
Great Leaders Don't Struggle Because They Lack Good Intentions
They struggle because the leadership experience they intend to create isn't always the one others experience.
You may believe you're communicating clearly...
...yet your team leaves meetings confused.
You may believe you're empowering people...
...yet they wait for your approval before acting.
You may believe you're building trust...
...yet difficult conversations are avoided.
The difference isn't your intention.
It's the gap between intention and impact.
That gap is often invisible—until someone helps you see it.
Leadership Begins with Awareness
Every decision you make creates an experience for someone else.
Every conversation shapes trust.
Every expectation influences performance.
Every reaction either strengthens or weakens your credibility.
Most leaders never stop long enough to examine whether the leadership they believe they're providing is actually the leadership others are experiencing.
That's exactly what the Leadership Alignment Index™ was created to reveal.
What Is the Leadership Alignment Index™?
The Leadership Alignment Index™ is a confidential self-assessment developed by leadership coach and author Donna P. Dahl.
Rather than measuring personality or management style, it helps uncover something far more valuable:
The hidden gaps between what you intend as a leader and the impact your leadership is actually creating.
It explores five critical dimensions of leadership:
• Leadership Clarity
• Communication Alignment
• Trust & Influence
• Organizational Friction
• Personal Alignment
Within minutes, you'll have a clearer picture of where your leadership is working—and where unseen friction may be limiting your effectiveness.
What You'll Gain
By completing the Leadership Alignment Index™, you may begin to:
✔ Identify blind spots that may be affecting your team.
✔ Discover where trust may be unintentionally eroding.
✔ Recognize opportunities to communicate with greater clarity.
✔ Understand where leadership friction is slowing performance.
Why This Assessment Is Different
Many leadership assessments tell you who you are.
This one helps you understand how your leadership is experienced by others.
That difference matters.
Because leadership isn't measured by intention.
It's measured by impact.
it's measured by outcomes.
Your Results
After you complete the assessment, your results will be tabulated and you'll receive:
• Your Leadership Alignment summary
• An explanation of each leadership dimension
• Areas of strength
• Areas where hidden gaps may exist
For many leaders, these insights become the catalyst for meaningful and lasting change.
