Paratus™ Consulting LLC Leadership Pulse Check

A Quick Check on Your Leadership Rhythm

Grounded in the Paratus™ Leadership Operating Model, this streamlined assessment gives you fast insights into your current leadership habits, systems, and impact. It’s not about perfection, it’s about clarity. In just a few minutes, you’ll get a pulse check on how your leadership is showing up today.

What This Assessment Is For

This isn’t a personality quiz or academic benchmark. It’s a simple but powerful measure, built from over 30 years of experience working with leaders across industries and organizational stages. It reflects the real patterns that separate leaders who thrive from those who burn out. There are no right or wrong answers, only honest ones.

The assessment is anchored in the six components of the Paratus™ Leadership Operating Model: Clarity of Purpose, Setting Direction, Consistent Execution, Connection, Compliance & Integrity, and Go Forward Development.

Your responses will highlight where you’re leading with rhythm and structure and where drift, inconsistency, or gaps may be slowing you down. Think of it as a snapshot: quick, clear, and actionable.

What You’ll Receive at the End

Once completed, you’ll receive:

A score and leadership category that shows where you currently stand from our experience. Also you will recieve a coaching recommendation, based on the Paratus™ Leadership Operating Model and insights from The Leadership Secret No One Tells You.

How It Works

Expect to spend just 5–10 minutes completing this pulse check. Be honest. What you put in will shape what you take from it. Upon completing the assessment, you’ll receive an email with your score and leadership category, along with recommendations and strategies to improve your leadership systems and rhythms. Use your results as a starting point to reflect, recalibrate, and decide what needs to shift in how you lead.

The Paratus™ Leadership Assessment Categories 

Systematic Leader (The Architect) – You lead with structure, clarity, and consistency. Coaching at this stage focuses on scale and refinement.
Fragmented Leader (The Juggler) – You’ve got strengths, but inconsistencies are holding you back. Aligning your rhythm will unlock greater momentum.
Horsepower Leader (The Grinder) – You’re relying on effort more than systems. Coaching helps you build a sustainable structure for lasting growth.
Surviving Leader (The Endurer) – You’re keeping it together, but at a cost. It’s time to rebuild your leadership system and reclaim your purpose.

Leadership isn’t about keeping up, it’s about getting clear. This pulse check is your chance to measure the heartbeat of your leadership in minutes and take the next step toward becoming a Systematic Leader.
