Before you begin

Leadership assessments offer a snapshot of your current balance of skills. Remember, we are always a work in progress and constantly changing and growing!

Assessments based on the Michigan Model of Leadership provide a snapshot of your current strengths and areas for growth across these competencies. Every leader has unique strengths and every leader has opportunities to continue growing. And, our strengths and areas for growth are constantly evolving as we learn and grow and the needs of our teams and organizations change as well. The goal of an assessment is to help you zoom in on the areas of growth that are most helpful to you in this current life phase, allowing you to set intentions for growth and to design and engage in the micro-moves that will allow you the greatest progress in your leadership growth.

What you'll get

You'll leave with a practical Growth Plan you can revisit, revise, and build on.

The MMoL Growth Hub will help you translate your feedback on the Michigan Model, asking questions and guiding you through the process of setting an intention and planning out some micro-moves. You'll end each session with a practical roadmap that identifies where you want to grow, the specific micro-moves you'll practice, how you'll gather feedback, and when you'll reflect on your progress. It's a living plan you can revisit, revise, and build upon throughout your leadership development.

Step 1 Capture Your Self-Assessment Open your Leadership Assessment Feedback Report next to this page. For each quadrant below (in the same order as your report), copy two numbers from the “[Quadrant] Overall” chart — the last chart in each quadrant’s section: your Self score and your How Others Rated Me score. We’ll compute your gaps and point you in the right direction.

↺ Returning for a new cycle? Capture your last one first

Before you set a new intent, take three minutes to close the loop on your last micro-move. Have your previous MMoL Growth Plan (PDF) next to you — your notes here will appear on your new map.What did I experiment with — and what do I see about leading well from those micro-moves?What have I learned — and what might I do differently this cycle?

Step 3 Design Your Micro-Moves This is where Practice Micro-moves gets designed: for each skill you selected, write one small, specific micro-move to try in the next 2–3 weeks. Small and testable beats big and vague.

Review Your Self-Assessment

1. My StrengthsBased on your self-assessment, what strengths can support this cycle? Look at where you rated yourself highest — where do you already show up strong, and how could those strengths carry your micro-move? What strengths can you build up?

2. My Areas of GrowthWhere did you rate yourself lowest — and does that match how you experience yourself day to day? What feels most worth working on right now? What might you try now to address this issue in new ways?

Summarize: Strengths & Areas of GrowthIn your own words, capture your strengths and areas of growth — naming them yourself sharpens your intent, and it gives your MMoL Growth Plan a baseline in your own voice to look back on after your micro-moves.

Commit: Micro-Moves & AccountabilityYour selected skills arrive here with the micro-moves you designed in Step 3. Refine them if new thinking sharpens them. Then give each one an accountability anchor: how will you know it’s working, and who will you ask for feedback that is safe and honest?

My MMoL Growth Cycle Goal

Step back and look at what you built above. In a sentence or two, name this cycle’s goal. Things to also reflect and capture: How will you leverage your strengths to support your micro-moves? What will be different about your leadership when this loop closes? What do you need to learn to become the leader you want to be?
