Leader’s Dashboard

The Leader's Dashboard

When a leader has clarity on the items in The Leader's Dashboard, they have clarity and can focus
their time more powerfully on what really matters.

Purpose

The toolkit integrates into any leadership-related coaching work.

The Leader’s Dashboard offers a versatile tool that can be used as an assessment tool, as a living, breathing document to keep leaders focused and on track; as a tool to help leaders struggling with overwhelm and time management; and as a tool for leaders to get their team members on the same page and aligned.

On a single page, you have a tool that forces leaders to write down the most important elements of their work and career: vision, mission, values, strategic edge, initiatives, metrics, relationships, and development opportunities. Once a leader has clarity on these items, they have clarity and can focus their time more powerfully on what really matters.

Uses of The Leader's Dashboard

The toolkit has been used in the following situations.

Assessment

Along with other types of assessments, the Dashboard will identify where the leader has clarity and where they don’t. It identifies opportunities where the leader might want support and thereby inform their coaching or development plan. The tool is a living, breathing document for ongoing coaching and development. Every month or quarter, leaders can take out the Dashboard to review it, get coaching on outstanding issues and challenges, and update it.

Organizational Alignment

After they do it, many leaders want their employees to complete a Dashboard as well. This way, the leader can identify if everyone is on the same page with vision, mission, values, key performance initiatives, and metrics. Each employee’s
Dashboard should roll up into the overall strategic and financial plan for the organization.

Career Coaching

By completing a dashboard that looks at one’s current role and one’s overall career, leaders can determine the overall alignment between both. Then they can make decisions about how best to optimize their role and career with the overall vision and mission.

Goal Setting

Some leaders have used the Leader’s Dashboard as a way to bring their teams together and conduct a mini-strategy/business plan/goal setting session. The Dashboard offers a convenient way to take a look at the big picture mission/vision/values, the strategic edge of the organization, the tactical initiatives and metrics, and then ways to build relationships and capacity.
