Take Your Standout Score

You 're good at your job.

So why doesn't it feel like it's paying off?

You're working harder
than most

You put in the hours, hit your targets, and go above and beyond. But it’s not changing how you’re seen or the results.

You're in the details

You're stuck in the work. Your team depends on you for most things—and there’s no space to think ahead and lead differently.

You manage up and across—it’s not landing.

You stay visible and build relationships, but your cross-functional work still lacks traction and runs into hurdles.

Every manager’s career hinges on six conversations—most don’t know how to run them. Standout  Score changes that.

1. Strategy

YOUR DIRECTION

Your work isn't moving your career forward.



Know exactly what to focus on so your work actually matters.

2. Breakthrough

YOUR EDGE

Hard conversations end without real progress.



Turn the hard moments into the results your team is capable of.

3. Performance

YOUR TEAM

Your team isn't improving — and it's on you.



Help your team get better so your results get better.

4. Goal

YOUR TIME

Your team stalls when you're not there.



Get your team running on its own so you get your time back.

5. Partner

YOUR REACH

Cross-team work stalls before results.



Build the relationships that make work move faster and doors open.

6. AI

YOUR ADVANTAGE
