The Retention List Self-Assessment (Free)

You think your performance review is a private conversation between you and your manager. It isn't. By the time you sit down, the decision was already made, in a calibration meeting you weren't invited to, by 10–15 leaders who may not know you well.

This free kit shows you how that room sees you.

The Retention List Self-Assessment scores you on the five blind spots that keep talented professionals off the list leadership fights to keep. 25 statements, about 10 minutes, and you'll know whether you're Exposed, Vulnerable, Defensible, or Indispensable.

Why High Performers Get Cut, the companion guide, explains the scorecard executives actually use, why technically brilliant people get stuck, and three strategies you can start using this week.

This is for you if:

• You're doing senior-level work but you keep getting passed over

• You've watched layoffs hit people who were hitting every deadline

• You're the one who fixes everything, and you're starting to suspect that's a cap, not a shield

• Nobody has ever shown you how the decision actually gets made

Take the assessment online in 10 minutes and get your result instantly, or use the fillable PDF on your phone, print it, or walk through it with a mentor. Re-take it in 90 days.
