The 5x Team Assessment

The 5x Team Assessment is a comprehensive diagnostic tool that evaluates a leadership team’s capabilities, development areas, and execution effectiveness across the five components of the 5x Model. You can take it yourself, engage your leadership team, or open it up to your board and PE sponsor for additional feedback if you so choose.

Based on the book and research in The 5x CEO, the 5x Team Assessment provides an invaluable visual representation of where the organization stands and where it can improve. It delivers a clear, actionable report that highlights what’s working, where gaps exist, and what’s needed to accelerate performance, improve alignment, and drive sustainable success.

  • The assessment cuts through complexity with 60 targeted statements tied to the 5x Model’s framework to include: Strategy, Talent, Focus, Execution and Culture
  • Takes just 15 minutes to complete
  • Provides a clear, color-coded report that CEOs and leadership teams can leverage as a guide for improvement

What makes the 5x Team Assessment so valuable is its two-layered approach. It measures both how important each targeted statement is to your business and how well the leadership team believes the organization is currently executing in that area. This combination is where the real insight emerges: you see not only where performance is strong or misaligned, but also which areas are viewed as most critical given your business, industry, and market context. It’s a fast, practical way to diagnose what’s holding your team back—and unlock the focused action needed to accelerate value creation.
