Discover Your Leadership Signature in 20 Minutes

Uncover your signature leadership strength through the Leadership Integrity Framework℠

You’ve built a successful career. You’ve navigated complexity, made tough calls, and delivered results. But there’s something stirring—a sense that your leadership could be even more integrated, more intentional, more you.

This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about recognizing what’s already powerful within your leadership and building from that foundation.

What This Is:

The Leadership Signature Discovery is a focused exploration of your natural leadership strength—the dimension where you already lead with mastery. Based on the Leadership Integrity Framework℠ from the book, this quick assessment helps you identify which of four essential dimensions serves as your signature strength:

PURPOSE – Leading from deep conviction and values
 PRESENCE – The power of how you show up
 PARTNERSHIP – Leading through connection and trust
 PERSPECTIVE – Seeing patterns and systemic implications

What This Isn’t:

This isn’t another personality test or competency assessment. You won’t be labeled, boxed, or given a color code. Instead, you’ll discover which aspect of your leadership serves as your foundation right now—a snapshot of how you’re leading in this moment, in this context.

Your signature strength isn’t fixed. It can shift as your context changes, as you develop, as new challenges emerge. A merger, a new role, a crisis, even personal growth—all can influence which dimension takes the lead. That’s why we invite you to return in six months, or whenever your context significantly shifts, to see how your leadership signature evolves.

This isn’t about putting you in a permanent category. It’s about understanding where your natural strength lies today, so you can lead from that foundation while developing integration across all dimensions.

A Note from Maria Wade:

“When I started building the Leadership Integrity Framework, I assumed I’d need a comprehensive assessment instrument. I spent months thinking about design and validation. And then I paused.

Because the tools I already use in my coaching practice — Leadership Circle Profile, Hogan, MyWorldView, NBI — are excellent at what they do. They’re robust, well-validated, and backed by serious research. I realized I didn’t need to reinvent what already works well. What was missing wasn’t depth. It was access.

The Leadership Signature Discovery is my answer to that. A free, immediate way for any leader to begin reflecting on where their leadership already has natural strength — without needing a budget line or a certification on the other end. Think of it as a gift and a starting point: 20 minutes of honest reflection, followed by a sequence of emails designed to help you do something with what you discover.“

The Leadership Integrity Difference:

The Leadership Integrity Framework℠ asks a different question than most leadership development: not what you need to DO differently, but how your leadership can become more coherent across all its dimensions.

When you understand your signature strength, you:

  • Recognize where your leadership already has a solid foundation
  • Know where to anchor when complexity increases
  • Understand both your natural strength and its shadow
  • Can build consciously from that foundation toward greater integration

Your Information:

  • Confidential: Your responses are private and secure
  • No spam: You choose whether to receive follow-up insights
  • Purposeful: Aggregated insights help us understand how senior leaders engage with the four dimensions

Valuable:

Every participant contributes to building something meaningful for senior leaders

Frequently Asked Questions

Most leadership development focuses on competencies—what you need to DO differently. The Leadership Integrity Framework focuses on integration—how you can BE more coherent across all dimensions of your leadership.

When you understand your signature strength, you:

  • Lead from a place of natural confidence
  • Know where to anchor when complexity increases
  • Understand both your superpower and its shadow
  • Can build consciously from strength rather than constantly fixing weaknesses

Q: Is this the full LīF Assessment mentioned in the book?
 A: The book describes a comprehensive assessment, and that vision helped shape my thinking. As I’ve worked with the framework in practice, I’ve found that excellent tools like the Leadership Circle Profile® and Hogan already measure many of these dimensions in depth. The Leadership Signature Discovery is designed to be something different: a free starting point for reflection that’s accessible to any leader, not a replacement for those instruments. I’ll share more about how these tools connect to the framework as that thinking develops.

Q: How is this different from other leadership assessments?
 A: Most robust leadership assessments offer deep, validated measurement and typically require investment and professional interpretation — and they’re excellent at what they do. The Leadership Signature Discovery is a different kind of tool: a free, self-directed reflection designed to help you recognize your natural leadership strength and begin exploring the framework. It’s a starting point, not a substitute.

Q: What if I score evenly across dimensions?
 A: That’s actually wonderful—it suggests you’re already working with multiple dimensions. You’ll receive special “Integrated Leader” insights.

Q: Can I retake the assessment?
 A: Yes, and I’d encourage it. Your signature can shift with context — a new role, a crisis, or personal growth can all influence which dimension takes the lead. I’d suggest retaking every six months, or whenever your context changes significantly, to see how your leadership orientation evolves.

Q: Will my team members benefit from this?
 A: While designed for senior leaders, emerging leaders often find value in understanding these dimensions early in their development journey.

Q: Is there a cost?
 A: The Leadership Signature Discovery is free — it’s a gift to readers and the leadership community. For leaders looking for deeper measurement, I recommend exploring tools like the Leadership Circle Profile® or Hogan through a coaching engagement.
