The Six Leadership Saboteurs Assessment

Break Through What’s Holding You Back from Exceptional Leadership

You work hard, care deeply about your team, and show up every day with the best of intentions—so why does leadership still feel so overwhelming?

This assessment is designed to provide:

A personalized breakdown of your top saboteur(s)

Clarity on how those patterns show up in your leadership

Powerful reflections and mindset shifts to propel your growth

Targeted suggestions to help you lead with more confidence, intention, and influence

Even the most experienced leaders can get stuck in behaviors that undermine their impact.

Whether it’s a blind spot, outdated habits, or an unproductive approach, these behaviors negatively impact your leadership and the effectiveness of your team. If unaddressed, they can undermine your ability to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.


The Six Leadership Saboteurs Assessment was designed to help you uncover the behaviors that hold you back from exceptional leadership.

Created by leadership author and former executive Laurie Maddalena, this assessment is based on over 17 years of coaching mid-level and executive leaders. She’s witnessed how even strong leaders can get stuck in outdated patterns—and how powerful the shift can be once those patterns are recognized and addressed.
