Ambitious leadership deserves clarity.

You shape strategy, culture and change every day. But how strong is your leadership practice as an organisation, really, compared to others?

Without an objective mirror, leadership conversations stay abstract. The same discussions return. Priorities shift. Senior time gets consumed by repeat debates instead of forward motion.

That is exactly why we developed the State of Leadership & Governance Assessment 2026.

In just 15 minutes, your organisation participates in a national benchmark across the Netherlands. You receive immediate feedback, followed by a detailed report showing how your leadership and governance approach compares to peers, and where capacity you can unlock sits within your system.

It is not a personal test. It is an organisational benchmark.

Why leadership and governance are under pressure in 2026

Leadership today is not about control. Nor is it about stepping back completely. It is the ability to balance ownership with empowerment. To know when to step in — and when to create space.

Many leadership teams struggle to hold that balance consistently. You can have the right roadmap and still fall back into familiar patterns. The executive agenda collapses into operations. Strategy drifts. Teams wait for direction instead of taking initiative.

It can feel frustrating. As if you have already tried “everything”, but vision, people and daily practice never fully align.

This benchmark is designed to make those patterns visible. Ambiguity is risk that moves quietly through the system.

What is the State of Leadership & Governance Assessment 2026?

This is not a survey. It is a structured reflection tool built from real-world leadership practice across Dutch organisations.

Its purpose is simple:

• Show where leadership and governance in the Netherlands currently stand

• Make blind spots visible at organisational level

• Offer a concrete starting point for focused improvement

You receive:

• An organisational leadership profile

• A national benchmark comparison

• Insight into emerging leadership patterns in 2026

Short. Evidence-based. Practical.

The 6 dimensions the assessment measures (what you’ll learn)

The assessment reveals how your organisation performs across six interconnected dimensions:

• Taking Ownership — how quickly decisions move from discussion to action — and where accountability truly sits.

• Leading with Purpose — how clearly direction is translated into priorities teams can act on.

• Team Facilitation — how leadership removes friction and enables collaboration instead of creating dependency.

• Driving Value — how daily execution connects to strategic outcomes.

• Result Awareness — how progress is made visible — beyond dashboards and reports.

• Learning Culture — how reflection turns into structural improvement, not temporary fixes.

These dimensions do not live in slide decks. They show up in your meetings, your trade-offs, and how your teams experience leadership every day.

What you gain (and why it’s worth 15 minutes of your time)

In 15 minutes, you gain:

• A clear organisational reflection

• A comparison with peers across the Netherlands

• Insight into where your leadership system supports growth and where it slows it down

And there is a broader impact. By participating, you contribute to a national picture of how leadership and governance are evolving in the Netherlands helping raise the level of the conversation across organisations.

Who is this for? (and who it’s not for)

This is for leadership teams who:

• Want a reality check beyond intuition

• Are driving change and want to understand why progress sometimes stalls

• Prefer clarity over assumptions

This is not for those looking for a quick score without reflection. Honest input creates meaningful output.
