Week 4 worksheets
1. The top 20 percent audit
Started in activity 1 (the top 20 percent audit). Name your top 20 percent: the people whose growth multiplies. Then count the hours, real numbers from last month, not impressions. No reports? Count the people you mentor, unblock, and review for.
| My top 20 percent (names) | Hours they got from me last month |
|---|---|
- Total hours my top 20 percent got from me last month: __
- Total hours my bottom 20 percent got from me last month: __
- The gap, in one line (if my best people got the least of me, what exactly am I multiplying?):
_______________________________________________
- Whose judgment am I replacing with my own answers, one rescue at a time? __________________
- One hour I will move from rescue to multiplication next week: _______________________________________________
2. The 30-day handover letter
Started in activity 2 (the 30-day handover letter), done solo. Write the first 5 bullet points of the handover doc you would produce if you left in 30 days. Systems, decisions, and relationships all count. Name a real person on every bullet. If no one is named, that is not a documentation gap. That is your finding.
| # | Handover bullet (what the next person must know or own) | Who is named (a real person, or NO ONE) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ||
| 2 | ||
| 3 | ||
| 4 | ||
| 5 |
- Bullets with a real person named: __ of 5
- The thing I hold today with no second holder (a system, a decision, or a relationship): _______________________________________________
- The first transfer step this quarter, in one sentence I could say this week (no title needed): _______________________________________________
3. The capstone one-pager: the 30-day leadership experiment plan (evidence artifact)
This week's take-home and the most important worksheet in the course. One page, fixed template, exactly these six sections. Start from your lowest arc in the self-assessment. The plan is reviewed in your 1:1 mentorship session, never presented; at the case clinic you state a one-line public commitment, the behavior and the start date.
1. Diagnosis. My lowest arc is __________________ (score ____). The specific behavior gap is:
_______________________________________________
2. The real problem. One current, named situation on my team where this gap costs something. Be concrete: a person, a project, a metric.
_______________________________________________
_______________________________________________
3. The experiment. For 30 days I will __________________________________ (one behavior), __________________ (frequency), starting __________ (date).
4. Evidence I will collect (eg 1:1 notes, delegation log, calendar tags, a re-run proposal):
_______________________________________________
5. Success measure. What will be observably different at day 30:
_______________________________________________
6. Risk. What makes me likely to quit this: _______________________________________________
My counter: _______________________________________________
Counts as done: submitted by end of Wednesday, 2 days before the case clinic, with a real named problem. Plans without one get sent back. Reflection without the artifact counts as not done.
Tip: if you have not booked your mentorship 1:1 yet, book it for after you draft this plan. The 1:1 pressure-tests sections 2 to 5, and it is much more useful with a real draft in hand.
