Navigating your
leadership
challenges.
Made for founders, executives, and anyone who leads a team through change. The forecast names the archetype you lead with and the moments where you're at your best, and it knows the co-leader who covers the rest.
Four leadership moments.
Your team's work moves through four thresholds, in roughly the same order, and each one asks for a different kind of leader to get the team across. Nobody carries all four naturally. You'll lead two of them well and stretch on the rest, and your two combine into one of nine leadership archetypes.
The nine leadership archetypes.
Your two RIDE letters combine into an archetype: the way you do change. The first letter is how you open a change; the second is the ending you drive toward. It runs deep, showing in how you decide long before you think about it. The RIDE Forecast names yours.
Eight leadership styles.
Underneath your archetype sit eight leadership styles, two for each phase of work. The forecast scores you on all eight. Your strongest is the style you reach for without thinking; your weakest is where a co-leader earns their place.
Your forecast includes a chart like this one.
The black curve shows your strengths across the eight leadership styles. The red dashed curve shows what one of the four phases of work is asking for. In this example, that phase is Encounter, the part of the work where a team meets its customers and the world.
Where the dashed curve sits outside the black, the phase asks for more than the leader brings. On this profile, Encounter is a real stretch on Engaging and Commanding. Section 3 of your forecast does the same comparison for all four phases, so you can see where you fit and where you'll want a co-leader.
