Readiness check: does shared leadership fit you?
Before you invest, comes the honest diagnosis. The readiness check shows whether shared leadership fits your situation – and where the pitfalls are.

Why check first?
Shared leadership is no sure thing and not the right answer for every situation. Those who start without checking often realise only months later that a basic prerequisite was missing. The readiness check is the cheap insurance against an expensive project in the wrong place.
What the check looks at
- Is the task even divisible – or does it need a single ultimate responsibility?
- Is there a willingness to genuinely share power and visibility?
- Does the organisation carry the model – bodies, works council, IT, processes?
- Do the potential people fit in attitude and way of working?
Aus meiner Praxis
I’ve seen an organisation put two excellent leaders into a dual leadership – and overlook that both had the same strength and no one wanted the unloved tasks. A readiness check would have made that visible in a single conversation.
Your result
- A clear assessment: go, go with conditions, or better not.
- The concrete pitfalls, named rather than glossed over.
- A recommendation for the next sensible step.

Frequently asked questions
Is the check already the consulting?
No, it’s the diagnosis before it. It may even conclude that you don’t need further consulting.
What if the result is negative?
Then you’ve spared yourself an expensive failed project – and get a recommendation for what fits instead.
