The Political Quotient
Technical capability gets people to senior level. What happens next is decided by something rarely named and almost never taught: the ability to read power, work with it, and act inside it without losing yourself.
Forty statements, twelve to fifteen minutes. Your report is generated the moment you finish and emailed to you as a private link. It is free, and it is a mirror rather than a scorecard.

Four capabilities
01
Political Acuity
How accurately you read where power actually sits, and what is moving beneath the stated agenda.
02
Authentic Influence
Whether you can move people without trading away the trust that makes you worth following.
03
Networks and Coalitions
Whether the relationships exist before you need them, and hold when interests conflict.
04
Political Will and Judgement
Which contests you enter, when you enter them, and what you are willing to carry.
Before you start
- Answer for what you actually do, not what you intend or believe one should do. The wise answer is not always the one that sounds best.
- Think of your behaviour over the last twelve to eighteen months at work.
- Every statement needs an answer, and you cannot return to a part once it is submitted. Answer in one unhurried sitting.
- Your responses are confidential. There are no right answers, no pass and no fail.
