Three ways to work with 123Exec. Executive Coach shows you where each leader stands and how to develop them. Executive Operator runs the business day-to-day with a leadership dashboard, a 1:1 coaching tool, and a rhythm for your annual, quarterly, and ongoing initiatives. Executive Strategist gives the executive team the full suite: strategy, cash, and enterprise-value tools on top of Operator and Coach.
The Leadership Readiness Diagnostic is a transient analysis tool. When you submit your responses, they are processed to generate your personalized report. We do not retain your inputs after the report is generated.
By using this assessment, you acknowledge that:
You have a legitimate business interest in evaluating the leader(s) you are assessing.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for any decisions you make based on the report.
The report is generated as a strategic planning and leadership development tool. It is one input among many in your leadership decisions and is not a substitute for professional HR, legal, coaching, or medical advice.
You will manage the resulting report in accordance with your organization’s confidentiality and data-handling practices.
To minimize data exposure, we recommend entering first names or initials rather than full names when identifying the leader being assessed. No data is shared with third parties beyond what is required to generate your report.

Going further with the Executive Operator engagement. To turn these insights into results, the Operator license places each leader's score into a Leadership Dashboard paired with a 1:1 coaching tool to drive progress over time. It also adds a 360 assessment and a leader self-assessment, so you get the full picture of your coaching priorities. The Strategist license opens the complete suite for company-wide leadership and strategy.

How this works
Use this tool to assess one specific person who reports to you, a manager, director/VP, or C-suite leader. You'll answer 22 quick questions about how they're operating today (single tap per question, about 10 minutes) and get a coaching plan showing exactly where to focus their development. At the end you'll get an AI-written coaching report, and an optional comment box lets you add anything the ratings don't capture.
This is Step 1 of a full review. Two optional next steps complete the picture (available in the Operator license): the leader's own self-assessment (Step 2) and a 360 from peers and direct reports (Step 3).

These results show where this person is operating today, measured against the level their title calls for. Read them as a development map, not a verdict on the person.
Start with the Operating Level versus Title Level summary, since it frames everything else. Then focus on the lowest-scoring competencies first, because that is where coaching moves the needle fastest. A low score in a single competency is an individual coaching conversation. A pattern of low scores across related areas points to a larger development priority worth a dedicated plan.
Take the Development Roadmap into your next 1:1. Choose one or two items to begin with, not all of them, and use the suggested opening line to start the conversation. Then revisit this diagnostic in a quarter or two to see what has moved.
This is a coaching tool. The decision about how to invest in this person belongs to you and your leadership, who can weigh context this assessment cannot see.

As easy as 1, 2, 3
You know where this leader stands. That is the Executive Coach hat.
Every executive wears three hats. 123Exec is all three in one system: your Executive Coach, your Executive Operator, and your Executive Strategist.
Executive Operator. Run the company. Operational excellence. Every leader's numbers, every initiative tied to a priority, one weekly hour that runs on the data, a 1:1 board for each person. This report becomes that leader's development path, tracked every week, and you get the same for your whole team. From $199 a month for up to five leaders.
Executive Strategist. Operate at a higher level. You stop managing what is happening and start deciding what is possible. Cash, pace, runway and the strategy work, with a certified coach who runs your quarterly and annual planning.
