Compass Navigator™
Compass uses focused assessments to reveal leadership patterns, team dynamics, successor readiness, and organizational constraints—then converts the findings into clear development and operating priorities. Every instrument reads back to the same eight areas, so leaders build one repeatable way to diagnose their own enterprise.
This page answers one question: What does the evidence actually say?
Start here · Enterprise. Team. Leader. Successor.
Choose the one you are actually carrying. Each leads to a different pathway — and a different conversation. For an organization-level engagement, start with Enterprise Readiness; the instruments beneath each pathway stay open below.
Use the arrow keys to move between the four questions, then press Enter to jump to the matching pathway.
Selected: Enterprise Readiness — Enterprise Readiness is scoped to the transition in front of you — growth, succession, or sale. That conversation comes before any instrument is named.

Daily practice
Mental fitness moves the same way physical fitness does — short reps, done daily. Run the guided drill, then keep the day honest with the checklist.
The cost of skipping it
Every leader already has saboteurs — the Judge, the Controller, the Hyper-Achiever. They cost you one thing that compounds: the quality of the decision in front of you right now. A single reactive email, a rushed hire, a deferred hard conversation — each is a saboteur tax on the next curve.
How it fits the day
Three reps before your first meeting calibrate the day. Name the saboteur once when it shows up, pause ten seconds before one hard response, and close the day with one honest read on what drove you. Ninety seconds in, ten seconds out, repeat. It is the smallest rep that changes how you architect the system around you.

Operating System Review

Where revenue, margin, and effort actually concentrate — and which customers, products, or people are subsidizing the rest.
Facilitated · Data-supported
Succession Readiness Review
Bench strength, owner dependency, and the honest timeline between today and a transition the business can survive. Incorporates a Positive Intelligence (PQ) — Mental Fitness Assessment read on each successor candidate to assess the mental fitness and self-command the next stage will demand.
Facilitated · PQ-informed · Owner-level
How this starts
A scoping conversation about the decision, the people involved, and the timeline. Compass recommends the instrument afterward — or tells you that you do not need one. Start with Book an Enterprise Scoping Call below.
Team Effectiveness pathway · Open instrument · Confidential by design
A team instrument, not an individual one. It reads the group as a unit — one team, answered by the people in it — and belongs to the Team Effectiveness pathway.
Fifteen statements, rated usually, sometimes, or rarely. They resolve into the five tiers of Patrick Lencioni's team pyramid — trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, results — and the report places you on that pyramid at the lowest tier that is not yet healthy. That tier is the constraint every tier above it inherits.
It takes about ten minutes. You receive a branded summary report with your tier scores, your placement, the two tiers carrying the most risk, and the Compass discipline that rebuilds each one. It is open to anyone — no password, no request step — and your answers stay in your browser unless you choose to email the report.
15 statements
Rated on a three-point scale, roughly ten minutes.

The four pathways
Nearly every assessment question Compass is asked resolves into one of 4. Successor readiness draws on all three others at once, which is why it is treated as its own pathway.
03
How does this leader actually operate under pressure?
A clear read on how one leader operates under load — behavior, drive, blind spots, and the gap between how they see themselves and how the organization experiences them.
Supporting instruments
02
Why does this team underperform its own talent?
Why a capable group produces inconsistent results — trust, candor, decision rights, and the unspoken agreements about what is acceptable.
Supporting instruments
04
Is this person ready for the role we are about to hand them?
Whether the person named for the next seat can carry it — judgment, self-command, and follower-ship — and what must be built before the handoff date.
Supporting instruments
01
Is the business built to carry what comes next?
Whether the organization can produce results without the owner holding it together — dependency, concentration, cadence, and what scrutiny would reveal.

How it works
Anyone can send you a report. Compass reads the result against your stage, your structure, and the decision in front of you — then tells you what to do about it.
Enterprise Readiness: Enterprise reads exist to produce a sequence: what changes, in what order, and who owns each move.
Clarify
We start with the decision you are trying to make. The instrument is chosen last, not first.
Assess
The right profile, review, or diagnostic — administered privately and without theater.
Interpret
Results are read against your business, your stage, and your operating system. This is the part that matters.
Act
You leave with a sequence: what to change, in what order, and who owns it.
Sample output
Every pathway ends the same way: a short written read, the two or three findings that change your next decision, and a sequence with owners and horizons. Below is an illustrative excerpt — the structure is real, the content is not.
Act is where the Enterprise Readiness pathway earns its keep. Enterprise reads exist to produce a sequence: what changes, in what order, and who owns each move.

Compass Performance
Enterprise Readiness — Organizational Read
Results are heroic, not systemic
Two people are named in 60% of critical paths. Performance holds because of them, which is precisely the risk a buyer or successor prices in.
Revenue concentration exceeds tolerance
Top three clients represent 44% of revenue and 61% of gross margin. Two are on evergreen terms with no renewal governance.
The operating cadence does not reach the front line
Strategy is set quarterly and reviewed at the top. Below the leadership team, priorities are inferred rather than assigned.
| Move | Owner | Horizon |
|---|---|---|
| Document and cross-staff the six single-person critical paths | COO | 90 days |
| Renewal governance and terms reset on the top three accounts | CRO | This quarter |
| Cascade the quarterly priorities to team level with named owners | Leadership team | Next cycle |
Debrief. Presented to the owner first, then to the leadership team as a working session.
