Action Wheel Assessment

"Treatment without diagnosis is malpractice." ~Warren Hoffman

An MRI scans soft tissues....The AWA scans soft issues!

Just as an MRI provides a picture of a person's “soft tissues”, the AWA provides an image of your organization's “soft issues.” The AWA also provides a picture of where the organization is strong and thriving. The AWA has been designed to be minimally invasive, and to capture the initial image of "what-is-going-on” – or what the organization's members initially think is going on.

The Action Wheel assessment is based on the leadership model created by Dr. Robert Terry and first taught in his book Authentic Leadership: Courage In Action

The Action Wheel Assessment: How It Works for Your Organization

• Includes 60 questions and can be completed in 15 - 20 minutes.
• Can be taken by any number of people in an organization.
• Provides each participant with a written and graphic report of their view of the organization.
• Provides an aggregate report of the entire organization that keeps all individual responses confidential.

The Action Wheel Assessment becomes a powerful tool when done as part of a Leadership and Alignment Workshop for your entire leadership team. When you engage our consultants to teach the Action Wheel process, part of the workshop will be a review of an aggregate report prepared by our team that reveals both the strengths and weaknesses within your organization.

The sample aggregate report below was prepared for one of our clients; identifying data has been removed.

The Action Wheel inventory assesses seven features of action that determine any organization's strengths and vulnerabilities.

Those seven features are:

• Existence: organizational identity and history that both limits and launches the organization.
• Resources: people, money, time, space, information, equipment and tools
• Structure: systems, policies and procedures
• Power: energy, motivation, morale, control
• Mission: goals, objectives and desires
• Meaning: guiding values, purpose
• Fulfillment: the completed act, that into which meaning, mission, power, structure, resources and existence converge.

"Every human act reveals these seven generic features, all the time, every time. These features are explicitly or implicitly present whether the action has happened, is happening, or will happen. "
~Bob Terry, Authentic Leadership: Courage In Action

• Fulfillment: an embodiment term, denoting that into which human action moves.
• Meaning: a significance term, justifying that for which human action moves.
• Mission: a directional term, identifying that toward which human action moves.
• Power: an energy term, signifying that by which human action moves.
• Structure: an organizing term, denoting that through which human action moves.
• Resources: a material term, connoting that with which human action moves.
• Existence: a limiting and possibility term, outlining that from which human action moves.
