EQV Compass — Floor Assessment

EQV Compass · Day 14 Milestone

Floor Assessment

Establishing Your Authentic Leadership Baseline

Leader Name

Organization / Role

Pre-Flight Score (if available)

The Floor Assessment does not evaluate performance. It establishes position. Its purpose is to name, with honesty and specificity, where you genuinely are — before the Compass orients where you are going.

Values Clarity

Establishing Your True North — Before Compass Entry

1.1 The Three-Question Test

List up to six candidate values. Apply all three tests to each. A genuine core value passes all three. An aspirational value typically passes one or two.

Candidate Value	Defended Under Pressure?	Costs You Something?	Held Even If Unpopular?

1.2 Your Three Confirmed Core Values

Select the three values that passed all three tests and record a specific recent instance where you held each at meaningful cost.

1.3 Organizational vs. Personal Values

Values Conflict Check

Are any of your three confirmed core values in tension with current organizational values or priorities? Describe specifically.

Behavioral Translation

Values-to-Behavior Floor Mapping

2.1 Current Behavior Inventory

For each confirmed core value, name three specific, observable behaviors that currently express that value in your daily conduct — actions a colleague could confirm occurred or did not occur.

2.2 Observability & Challenge Checks

Rate each statement 1 (low) – 5 (high) based on your honest current position.

Statement	Rating (1–5)
I can name three specific, observable behaviors that currently express my values — not aspirations, but actual recurrent behaviors.
In the past 30 days, I have defended at least one core value in a setting where defending it carried a real cost.
My stated values and my actual daily decisions are closely aligned — there is minimal gap between what I say I stand for and what I do.
I can identify specific situations in which I have felt inauthentically aligned — where I behaved in ways that did not reflect my genuine values.
The people who work most closely with me would accurately name my top three core values without prompting.

Challenge Awareness

Naming Your Barriers Honestly — Before Compass Entry

3.1 Challenge Category Selection

Select the 2–3 categories that most accurately describe where your authentic alignment breaks down. Click to select and add an initial observation.

3.2 Primary Challenge — Specific Account

Primary Challenge — Specific Account

When does this challenge activate? What do you do differently when it does? What is the gap between your behavior in this context and your stated values?

Secondary Challenge — Reflection Prompt

What is the specific, honest account of how this challenge manifests? What are you managing around rather than addressing directly?

Strategic Readiness

Compass Entry Preparation & 30-Day Commitment

4.1 Strategy Library — Initial Relevance Scan

Review the 15 EQV strategies. Select up to 3 that feel most directly relevant to the challenges you identified. This is a preliminary scan — formal selection occurs in the Compass.

4.2 30-Day Pre-Compass Commitment

Identify one specific behavioral commitment you will make in the next 30 days. A commitment without a trigger is a preference.

Behavioral Commitment

Describe the specific observable behavior you commit to.

Implementation Trigger

What specific event or condition will activate this commitment?

Success Metric

How will you confirm this commitment was honored? What would be observable?

Scoring Summary & Reflection

Floor Assessment Score + Compass Entry Band

Your Floor Score

Your behavioral ratings from Section 2.2 contribute to the score. Supplement with honest self-assessment across all four areas (each /25).

Score Band Interpretation

Band	Label	Compass Entry Guidance
0–39	Identity Calibration First	Complete the Identity Calibration Assessment before proceeding. Core values identification requires additional foundational work.
40–59	Values Clarification Needed	Core values may be aspirational rather than genuine. Focus Phase 1 Compass work on the Three-Question Test before moving to Actions.
60–79	Ready for Compass Entry	Sufficient foundation for EQV Compass completion. Expect significant insight in the Challenges section. Strategy Library selection is the critical next step.
80–100	Anchor and Advance	Strong existing alignment foundation. Compass work should focus on behavioral specificity and challenge precision. Values Audit (Strategy #15) recommended at outset.

Final Reflection

What did this assessment surface that you had not fully named before?

Write honestly. The most useful responses are ones that are slightly uncomfortable to read back.

What is the most significant gap this assessment reveals?

Be specific: between which stated value and which actual behavior is the gap currently largest?
