Leadership Beyond the Role

A Private Leadership Assessment

How ready is your accumulated leadership capital to create value beyond the role you hold today?

A significant leadership career produces far more than experience. It produces judgment, relationships, perspective, credibility and knowledge that may have value far beyond the institution in which they were accumulated.

This assessment considers how deliberately those assets are being given a life beyond your current operational role.

Your responses and the resulting profile will be recorded and handled confidentially by Legacies of Africa. This information is used to generate your private Leadership Beyond the Role Profile and to support relevant follow-up relating to this assessment. For more information, see our Privacy Notice.

Clarity

How clearly have you decided what you want your contribution beyond the role to become?

1. I can describe, in one or two sentences, the contribution I want to make beyond the boundaries of my current executive role.
2. I know which opportunities I want to say yes to over the coming years β€” and which I deliberately want to refuse.
3. I have a clear picture of what I want my accumulated experience to enable, rather than simply a list of possible activities.
Please answer all three statements before continuing.

Portable Authority

How independently can your judgment, relationships and credibility create value beyond the institution?

4. People seek my judgment because of what I know and how I think, not only because of the position or institution I represent.
5. I have meaningful relationships and credibility that would remain active if my current title changed tomorrow.
6. I am increasingly known for particular ideas, areas of judgment or leadership expertise β€” not simply for the organisation I lead.
Please answer all three statements before continuing.

Codified Judgment

How much of what you know now exists beyond your memory and individual presence?

7. I can identify the lessons, principles or frameworks from my career that would be genuinely valuable to other leaders.
8. Important parts of what I have learned exist somewhere beyond my own memory β€” in writing, frameworks, talks, recordings, methodologies or other intellectual assets.
9. I could clearly answer: β€œWhat do you know after decades of leadership that cannot be learned from a textbook?”
Please answer all three statements before continuing.

Contribution Architecture

Have you deliberately created the vehicles through which your accumulated leadership capital can now create value?

10. I have deliberately chosen the vehicles through which I want to contribute β€” such as governance, advisory, investing, mentoring, institution-building, writing or speaking.
11. I have begun building the relationships, positioning and infrastructure required for those activities to exist independently of my current role.
12. Opportunities that come to me increasingly fit a coherent direction rather than being a collection of unrelated invitations.
Please answer all three statements before continuing.

Independence & Selectivity

Can your contribution grow without recreating another demanding operational role around you?

13. The contribution I am building can create significant value without requiring me to be personally involved in everything.
14. I have clear boundaries around how much time, access and operational responsibility I want to carry in this phase of my leadership.
15. If my current executive role changed tomorrow, I would know what to begin building rather than simply waiting to see what opportunities appeared.
