How much momentum dies waiting on you?

A wrong decision can be corrected. A slow one kills velocity and teaches your team you cannot pull the trigger.

Fast and 90 percent right beats slow and 95 percent right.

The Decision Sprint is one of the five personal protocols behind The 5 Minute Leader system: reversible versus irreversible doors, the five minute sprint, and how to communicate a decision so it does not get relitigated.

What this assessment measures

Twelve statements, three in each of four areas: Clarity, Speed, Ownership and Communication. You rate how true each one is right now. The score is not a personality type and it does not change with your mood. It is a read on how the work moves.

Clarity

When I sit down to decide something, I can state the decision as a clear either/or rather than a topic.
I know what information I actually need, as opposed to what would be nice to have.
I can tell the difference between a decision that is reversible and one that is not.

Speed

Reversible decisions get made quickly rather than researched.
I do not gather more input on something once I already know what I think.
Decisions rarely sit on my desk for more than a few days.

Ownership

I make the call myself when I have the context and speed matters more than buy-in.
When I ask for input, everyone knows it is input and not a vote.
I am comfortable deciding at around 70 percent certainty and committing fully.

Communication

When I decide, I state it plainly rather than saying we are leaning towards something.
People hear the decision, the reason, and what happens next, in that order.
I do not reopen a decision every time someone is unhappy with it.

How the score is read

Your answers produce a score out of 100 and place you at one of four levels. Each level comes with a plain reading of what it means and where it usually breaks.

Level 1, The Deliberator. Scores 0 to 40.
Level 2, The Researcher. Scores 41 to 60.
Level 3, The Decider. Scores 61 to 80.
Level 4, High Velocity. Scores 81 to 100.

You also get a score for each of the four areas, so you can see which one is actually holding things back rather than guessing.

What to do with the result

The point is not the number. It is which of the four areas comes back lowest, because that is the one to work on first. Pick that one, change one thing this week, and take the assessment again in a month to see whether the change held.

Quiz, test or assessment: which is this?

All three words describe the same thing. A decision making quiz, a decision making test and a decision velocity assessment all point at what is on this page: twelve statements, four areas, a score out of 100 and the level that goes with it. Nothing is graded and there are no trick questions. It is a read on how you work right now, not a personality label.

How long does it take?

It takes about four minutes. You answer one screen at a time and you can go back and change an answer before you finish.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no payment and no trial. You answer the questions, then give your name and email to unlock your level, your area scores and the single move to make next.
