Catalyst for Clarity by Cdaeris

Every leader deserves to see their next move clearly.

Leading people means carrying decisions that rarely come with a clear answer: who to hire, where you're stuck, what to fix first. We built Catalyst for Clarity so you can step back, look honestly at where you are, and leave with a direction you trust.

Catalyst for Clarity offers two free leadership and hiring readiness evaluations for business owners, executives, managers and team leads who are leading people today.

How it works. Both evaluations are built on Cdaeris' EPIC Leadership Architecture, the operating framework our consultants use with clients every day. You answer questions about your real team and your last few weeks. Your report is written from those answers and arrives by email.

Free. About five minutes. Your report arrives by email, and there’s nothing to book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this leadership and hiring quiz actually free?

Yes. Both the How do you lead best? evaluation and the Should I hire? assessment are free, take about five minutes each, and email you a full personalized report. There's no call to book and nothing to buy afterward.

How do I know if I'm ready to hire my first employee?

It comes down to four things: whether you have enough proven demand, whether the business can carry the cost if the hire is slow to produce, whether the job is documented well enough for someone else to learn it, and whether you're ready to manage another person day to day. The Should I hire? evaluation scores all four from your own answers and tells you which one, if any, is holding you back.

What's the difference between the two evaluations?

Should I hire? is for one specific decision: whether to bring someone on right now, and what has to be true first. How do you lead best? is broader: a read on your leadership pattern as an owner or manager, three actions worth taking this week, and the kind of outside support that fits your situation. Take whichever question is on your mind.

Who is this leadership evaluation for?

Business owners, executives, managers and team leaders who are responsible for leading people today. The questions ask about your real team and your last few weeks, so the evaluation is built for someone who is actively leading.

How is my report personalized?

Every report is written from your specific answers. The samples above show exactly what a report looks like.

What happens after I submit the quiz?

Your report arrives by email within a few minutes, written for your answers. You can read it right away, and any next step is your choice.
