How dependent is your business on you?

Rate 15 statements about how your business runs today. It takes about five minutes, and you’ll see your score straight away.

For each statement, choose how far you agree, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Answer for how things are now, not how you would like them to be.

Area 1 of 5Sales and client relationships

1We regularly win new business without me being involved in the sale.
2Our largest clients have strong relationships with people other than me.
3If I stepped back for three months, I’m confident sales would hold steady.

Area 2 of 5Decision-making

4My managers make day-to-day decisions without checking with me first.
5When staff need an answer, I am rarely the person they come to.
6Decisions on pricing, hiring and spending within agreed limits are made without me.

Area 3 of 5Day-to-day operations

7Work is delivered to the same standard whether or not I’m there.
8I could take a four-week holiday without being contacted.
9The team resolves problems and complaints before they reach me.

Area 4 of 5The management team

10At least one person could run the business in my absence.
11My managers have clear responsibilities and are held to account for results.
12We have identified successors for the key roles in the business, including mine.

Area 5 of 5Knowledge and systems

13Our key processes are written down and followed.
14Important knowledge, such as client history, supplier terms and passwords, is kept in shared systems, not in my head.
15I receive regular management information, such as a monthly report of key numbers, without producing it myself.
