The LDI measures whether you are multiplying leaders — or manufacturing Zombies. It is not a personality test. It is a systems diagnostic based on three observable, measurable outcomes from your last 12–24 months of leadership.
What the LDI Measures
01
Promotion Velocity
How many of your direct reports have been promoted into leadership roles in the last 24 months? Leaders who develop other leaders score high here.
02
Team Trajectory
Are the teams managed by your direct reports more engaged than they were 12–24 months ago? Measured by Z Scale movement.
03
Second-Level Trajectory
Are the people two levels below you trending up or down on the Z Scale? This is the true test of whether your leadership philosophy is propagating.
