Phase 1: Assess

Purpose

The Assess phase evaluates your leadership landscape — your style, your team's maturity levels, and the key challenges to address. This foundation informs all subsequent phases.

Usage

/leadership:assess <team-name>

Example:

/leadership:assess engineering-team

What It Does

1. Asks questions about your role, team size, experience levels, and challenges
2. Assesses each team member's maturity and autonomy needs
3. Identifies your natural leadership style and potential blind spots
4. Prioritizes challenges to address
5. Writes the assessment to .metapowers/leadership/<team>/01-assess.md

Output

Creates .metapowers/leadership/<team>/01-assess.md containing:

• Leadership profile (style, strengths, blind spots)
• Team member maturity assessment
• Prioritized challenges
• Recommended focus areas

Next Phase

After Assess, proceed to Vision to define your team's purpose and values.
