H.U.M.A.N. Leadership Readiness Diagnostic
A developmental reflection and action-planning tool.
Prepare people before promotion. Support them through the transition.
Promotion is not proof of leadership readiness. Preparation must begin before the title changes and continue as the responsibility grows.
Explore the human work of leadership and leave with two practical commitments.
H.U.M.A.N. Advantage framework developed by Dr. Patrick D. Fagan, PhD, MBA.

N: Navigate the Human Side of Change

Purpose
For people preparing to lead, people new to a management role and leaders whose responsibility is growing. You reflect on 25 leadership behaviors from the past 90 days, see where you have had opportunities and where you have not, and build a 30, 60 and 90 day plan around up to two commitments, matched to your development stage.
