Leadership Under Pressure - Scan

...

There are no right or wrong answers. 

Start

Block 1: internal activation

For each of the following statements, rate how strongly this reaction becomes active in you under pressure. 

 

0 = not at all

10 = very strongly

 

Use the full scale: if something feels strong, rate it high. If it’s not present, keep it low.

 

Answer as honest as possible.

The more raw you are, with what actually happens inside you under pressure, the more we can clear after the assessment.
