What you’ll learn:

  • How well you manage yourself under pressure
  • How effectively you support and empower your team
  • Whether your team trusts you enough to speak openly
  • How clearly your 1:1s and goals align your team
  • How strong your decision making process is
  • How well you motivate people to do great work

It only takes 3 minutes.

You’ll see where your leadership is strong — and where scale may require more structure — across six core skills:

Confidence and Managing Yourself

Confidence starts with knowing your strengths and owning your gaps. When you manage yourself well under pressure, you create clarity, calm, and a steady leadership presence.

Empathy and Managing Others

Empathy helps your team feel heard, respected, and valued. When people feel understood, collaboration improves and motivation rises.

Trust and Managing Relationships

Trust is the foundation of high performance. When people feel safe to speak openly, collaboration improves, relationships strengthen, and performance rises.

Alignment and 1:1s

Alignment comes from clear priorities and consistent 1:1 conversations. When everyone knows what matters most, teams stay focused, accountable, and grounded.

Decision Making

Decision making improves when you gather good information, reduce bias, and test ideas against reality. Good processes lead to better outcomes—even under pressure.

Motivation

Motivation grows when people feel safe, respected, and part of something meaningful. When leaders support these core needs, teams become more engaged, resilient, and driven to grow.

About Lisa D. Foster, Ph.D., ACC 

I work with experienced leaders who are performing well — and who know their next level will require new skills.

My clients are stepping into inflection points: greater visibility, broader scope, or higher-stakes decision making. They’re smart, capable, and successful — and aware that continued growth requires a different kind of leadership.

The shift isn’t about effort. It’s about how you show up as ambiguity increases, complexity grows, pressure rises, and judgment matters more than execution.

For over eight years, I’ve worked with leaders in biotech and pharma as they move into bigger roles, manage other leaders, and navigate enterprise-level decisions.

On average, my clients reach their next role within 12 months — with broader scope, greater influence, and compensation that reflects that expansion — because they learn how to lead at a higher level.

This Leadership Skills Audit is designed to help you see where you’re strong, where growth will matter most, and what’s likely to shape your next inflection point.​

Sales Manager, Pharmaceudical Device Company

I thought I was being strong as a leader, but now I realize I may have been coming off as arrogant. I've stared to shift my leadership style and, even with little adjustments, people are responding better. 

Adam

I’ve been leading teams for years, but this quiz highlighted some blind spots I didn’t even know I had. The insights were practical, and I immediately applied them in my next leadership meeting.
