FAQ

Q: CAN I PURCHASE THE ASSESSMENT FOR MY ENTIRE TEAM?

Absolutely, you can purchase the assessment for your entire team. Utilizing the same assessment across your organization brings several key benefits:

1. Consistency in Evaluation: Applying the same assessment criteria across the team ensures a uniform standard of evaluation. This consistency aids in accurately comparing and understanding the diverse leadership styles and competencies within your team.

2. Shared Language and Understanding: When everyone undergoes the same assessment, it cultivates a shared language and understanding of leadership within the organization. This common framework can enhance communication and collaboration among team members.

3. Identifying Organizational Strengths and Gaps: Consistent use of the assessment across the team provides a holistic view of the collective leadership capabilities, highlighting organizational strengths and areas that require development.

4. Facilitating Team Development: Understanding the individual and collective leadership profiles of your team can greatly assist in tailoring development programs, team-building activities, and succession planning more effectively.

5. Promoting a Culture of Growth: Implementing a uniform assessment sends a strong message about the organization's commitment to continuous learning and development, which can boost morale and encourage a growth mindset among team members.

By investing in the assessment for your entire team, you're not just evaluating individual leaders; you're building a stronger, more cohesive leadership framework that supports the overall growth and success of your organization.

Q: WILL I KNOW WHO GAVE ME THE SPECIFIC FEEDBACK?

No. We will summarize and anonymize the feedback before sharing it with you.

Keeping feedback anonymous is essential for fostering honesty and candor. Anonymity allows respondents to provide genuine, constructive feedback without fear of repercussions, ensuring that the focus is on the content of the feedback rather than the identity of the contributor. This approach minimizes the influence of office politics and interpersonal dynamics, leading to more honest and comprehensive insights. Additionally, it encourages wider participation and builds trust in the assessment process, as participants are assured that the goal is developmental, not punitive or personal. In essence, anonymized feedback creates a safer, more open environment conducive to meaningful and unbiased leadership development.

Q: CAN I USE THE ASSESSMENT TO EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF A LEADER?

No. Leadership assessments, while valuable for development and growth, are not ideal for performance evaluation due to several reasons:

1. Focus on Development, Not Performance: Leadership assessments are designed to identify areas for personal growth and development rather than to measure job performance. They are more about understanding leadership styles, strengths, and areas for improvement and not evaluating how well a leader meets specific job-related metrics or objectives.

2. Subjective Feedback: These assessments often rely on subjective feedback from peers, subordinates, and superiors. While this can provide valuable insights into a leader's behavior and impact, it's not always an objective measure of their performance outcomes or business results.

3. Limited Scope: Leadership assessments typically focus on behaviors, traits, and competencies that are important for effective leadership but may not cover all aspects of a leader's job responsibilities or the specific results they have achieved.

4. Potential for Bias: Feedback from colleagues and direct reports can be influenced by personal biases, both positive and negative, which can skew the results and make them less reliable for performance evaluation.

5. Long-Term Perspective: Leadership assessments are generally more concerned with long-term growth and potential rather than short-term performance indicators.

In contrast, performance evaluations are usually more objective, focusing on measurable outcomes, results, and specific job responsibilities. They are intended to assess how effectively a leader is performing in their role based on predefined criteria and organizational goals.

Q: HOW SOON CAN I EXPECT THE RESULTS?

The report is typically ready within two weeks of starting to collect the feedback. And we'll need a few days to finalize the survey once we have agreed on the details of the assessment.

All in all, it's typical for the assessment to take three to four weeks.

Still have questions?

How soon can I schedule my first session after signing up?
After you've been accepted into my individual coaching program, your contract starts on the day I receive the first payment. You'll be able to schedule your first coaching session at that time. My availability varies from week to week, but I never take on more clients than I can fully support in a given week. Simply email me if you're unable to find a convenient spot on my calendar, and we'll work it out together.
Can I record my coaching sessions?
Unless you request otherwise, I automatically record and transcribe all our sessions to help me stay 100% present during the call and not worry about taking detailed notes. I'm happy to share both the recording and the transcript with you.
I've done this before—bought a course, hired a coach... but I always seem to drop the ball before getting the results. How can I be sure this is not going to be the same?
Look, at the end of the day, you're the one who'll need to do the work. I can neither predict whether this time will be different for you, nor guarantee your results for you. What I can guarantee is my unconditional positive regard for you, regardless of how you might feel about your performance at any given moment. I know that behavior could be incredibly difficult to change. Especially if you have ADHD or any other form of neurodiversity that affects your executive function. I will use all of my training and my experience to support you in the best way I know how.
Can I bring a business partner or a team member to a session?
You're free to share the recordings and transcripts of our sessions with your partners. But our one-on-one sessions are strictly for me to support you. If you'd like to discuss group coaching for your team, please email us at support@sudarkoff.com
What if I have a vacation coming up, or some other event, will I get a make-up session if I have to skip a week or two?
If you feel like you won't have enough time to dedicate to coaching, then perhaps it's not the right time. Just come back when you're ready to commit. That being said, you're not paying for my hours, you're paying for results. I know life often gets busy—we'll work around whatever else might be happening in your life. We'll meet more frequently when you need lots of support, and less when you don't. I also offer unlimited email and Slack support between the sessions.
What's your refund policy?
The trial session is free and there’s no risk or obligation. If you're accepted into my individual coaching program, I offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with your first coaching session for any reason, just let me know and I’ll refund your money in full. Thereafter, you can cancel any time before the start of the next billing cycle. Cancellation becomes effective as of your next renewal date, and your services will continue until the end of your current subscription term.
How do I pay for your services?
I accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH direct debit, and several other options via Stripe.com. If your company will be paying for my services, and it uses a vendor management system, I'll be happy to accommodate that. I can also send you a monthly invoice if that's your preference.
