Discover the Gap Between How You Lead and How Your Team Experiences You
The Unicorn Leadership 360 measures your leadership across seven interconnected levels, giving you a data-driven picture of your strengths, blind spots, and the exact path to becoming the leader your team needs.
Your biggest leadership blind spot is the one you can't see.
Research shows most leaders overestimate their effectiveness. The gap between how you see yourself and how your team experiences you is often the single biggest obstacle to building a high-performing culture. This assessment closes that gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Is the assessment really free?
The self-assessment and your self-only report are free. The Leadership 360 is a one-time $79 upgrade: invite your manager, peers and direct reports, and your report adds the self vs. team gap, blind spots and rater-group breakdowns. Add a 60-minute coach-led debrief for $149 total.
02How long does it take?
The self-assessment takes about 10 minutes (56 questions). Team assessments take about the same. You can pause and return anytime using your access code.
03How many team members should I invite?
We recommend 5-10 team members for the richest insights, ideally a mix of supervisors, peers, and direct reports. There’s no limit. Team responses are anonymous and grouped by relationship type.
04Is team feedback anonymous?
Yes. Team members are never identified by name in your report. Feedback is grouped by category (supervisor, peer, direct report) so you can see patterns without compromising trust.
05What are the Seven Levels?
The Seven Levels of Unicorn Leadership are: (1) Psychological Safety, (2) Empowerment, (3) Communication, (4) Accountability, (5) Innovation, (6) Vision & Strategy, and (7) Team Composition. Each level builds on the previous. They’re a dependency structure, not isolated skills.
06Can I retake or update my assessment?
Your results update automatically as new team responses come in. You can return to your assessment anytime using your unique access code. Your report refreshes each time you return.
07Do I need to be in a management role?
No. While the assessment is designed for people who lead others, it’s valuable for anyone wanting to understand how they show up in collaborative settings, including aspiring leaders, team leads, and individual contributors who influence their teams.
