Breakdown of the leadership diagnostic report
Common patterns

What other leadership teams uncovered

What looks like a people problem, execution problem or culture problem on the surface is often a leadership alignment problem underneath.

Professional services leadership team

On the surface, decisions kept circling and accountability felt weak.
  • Different assumptions about priorities and success were driving the friction
  • Once the misalignment was visible, ownership could reset and decisions moved faster

Founder-led growth business

On the surface, execution was slowing down and teams looked resistant to change.
  • Leadership signals were inconsistent and priorities were shifting without being named
  • Once the friction was visible, conversations became clearer and follow-through improved

Operations-heavy business

On the surface, the business looked like it had a communication or culture problem.
  • Leaders were not aligned on standards, behaviour or what mattered most
  • Once that gap was named, the business could focus on the cause rather than the noise

Deciphir Lens helps leadership teams track what keeps surfacing over time

Lens is the ongoing diagnostic and insight layer for leadership teams. It helps you see what is repeating, what is shifting, and where hidden leadership friction is continuing to drag on execution.

Recurring friction

Spot the same pressure points showing up again before they become more expensive to absorb.

Hidden causes

Get clearer on what is actually slowing decisions, ownership, consistency and follow-through.

Movement over time

See whether leadership alignment is improving, holding, or starting to drift again across review cycles.

Better intervention

Bring stronger evidence into leadership conversations, workshops and decisions about where to focus next.

Beyond the diagnostic

When the problem runs deeper, this is the next layer.

Lens helps you see where friction is showing up. Deep Dive uncovers what is causing it and what needs to change.

2. What Lens reveals

The symptoms become visible.

Misalignment. Slow decisions. Repeated friction. Poor follow-through. Unclear ownership. The same issues keep surfacing, but the real cause is still underneath.

Signal first

3. What you leave with

A clearer path forward.

A root cause diagnosis. A practical leadership action plan. Clearer priorities, ownership, timelines, and next steps on what to fix first, what to stop, and where the team needs ongoing support.

1. What Leadership Deep Dive uncovers

What is really slowing the business down.

Leadership Deep Dive is Deciphir’s in-person diagnostic for teams who know the issues run deeper than what is being said openly. It is designed to uncover the leadership patterns, decision-making failures, communication breakdowns, accountability gaps, trust issues, and hidden tensions creating friction across the business.

Root cause, not surface noise.

How long does the diagnostic take?

Most leadership teams complete the diagnostic in around 5-8 minutes.

How many leaders should complete it?

You need at least two leaders for a useful result, but the diagnostic becomes more valuable as more of the leadership team participates.

What do we receive?

You receive the complete report: leadership alignment, split priorities, values gaps, perception versus reality and the top areas creating friction.

Do participants have to be execs?

Not at all. The key is choosing from either your executive team or a selection of leaders and influential people across the broader business.

What happens after the report?

You can use the report internally, rerun it over time or use it as the starting point for deeper workshopping and leadership support.

Yes. The diagnostic and generated report are completely free.
