Leadership Time Diagnostic

How much of your managers' week is actually spent leading?

Two minutes, one question: where does a week go for the supervisors and managers in your organization? See how much of it is leading, what the rest is costing you, and decide whether it is worth a conversation.

Reference figures used below (editable estimates)

These two figures drive the dollar estimate. They are reasonable starting points, not final numbers. Edit them if you know your own, or leave them as-is for a rough read.

hrs/week
Paid working hours in a normal week for one manager.
$
Salary plus benefits, taxes and overhead. Usually 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary.

Your managers' week

Rough is fine. Think about a typical week, not a bad one.

How this is built
Year one, what gets measured

A baseline leadership survey in Month 1 is repeated in Month 12, so the comparison is direct rather than reconstructed. The question at the end is not whether people attended. It is what they can handle now that they could not handle a year ago.

Year one targets

15% improvement in overall leadership effectiveness. 20% in difficult conversations, accountability and appropriate escalation. 25% less HR time spent on preventable management issues. 15 point gain in leaders reporting confidence.

Is this worth a 30-minute conversation?
