The 2-Minute Self-Test: How Aligned Is Your Partnership?

Through 20 questions, you’ll evaluate your partnership across three core dimensions: personal alignment, relational dynamics, and organizational structure.

The goal isn’t perfection, but clarity. This is an opportunity to identify what’s working, what’s unclear, and what may need attention before misalignment puts your relationship or your company’s future at risk.
