Frequently Asked Questions
More questions about the LEQ System? Wondering if the LEQ Accelerator could be the answer to increasing your team's effectiveness? Curious about what makes the LEQ System so unique, but so simple? We've got your answers below!
I've never heard of LEQ, what is it?
The LEQ is short for Leadership Effectiveness Quotient - think of it like IQ, but specifically designed to measure leadership effectiveness. The LEQ System was designed by Leadership Tap to help organizations train their team members to be highly effective leaders by focusing on the implementation of 14 Critical Activities. These activities form the foundation for effective leadership by naturally producing the key pillars upon which all effective teams are built: Clarity, Consistency, Communication, Commitment, Cohesion, and Competence.
What makes the LEQ System different from other leadership training programs?
The LEQ System goes beyond vague leadership advice by giving you measurable, practical insights. You’ll receive a personalized LEQ Score based on your real-world leadership habits, followed by specific next steps to improve. With each critical change comes a bump to your score (and quality of life)! This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Our system is tailored to your unique situation, with practical tasks and coaching to help you grow.
How will this benefit me and my team in the long run?
Better Results: By mastering foundational leadership habits, you’ll see improvements in team performance, engagement, and productivity.
More Time and Focus: The LEQ helps you manage time more effectively, allowing you to focus on what matters and cut through distractions.
Happier Teams: With increased trust, cohesion, and clarity, your team will be more motivated, engaged, and aligned with your vision.
Sustained Growth: You’ll have a clear roadmap for long-term improvement, with measurable progress to keep you accountable.
How does the LEQ Accelerator differ from the LEQ Checkup? Do I need both?
The LEQ Checkup is your starting point, providing a clear snapshot of your current leadership effectiveness across six foundational pillars by providing you with your Leadership Effectiveness Quotient (LEQ) Score. Think of it as a leadership diagnostic. The Accelerator then builds on your Checkup results, offering you a guided path to turn those insights into daily habits. Together, they form a complete system that gives you both the clarity on where you stand and the tools to get where you want to go.
How does the Accelerator actually “accelerate” my progress as a leader?
The LEQ Accelerator cuts out the guesswork and trial-and-error. Rather than spending time figuring out how to improve, you get a clear roadmap that prioritizes the daily activities and habits that make you a stronger leader faster. It’s like having a fitness coach for your leadership skills—focused guidance, structured routines, and a step-by-step path that gets you to results sooner.
What if I don’t have the time to add more to my plate?
The LEQ Accelerator is crafted for busy leaders, with practical steps you can integrate directly into your existing routine. It’s not about adding more—it’s about making your current efforts more effective. By focusing on what matters most and providing simple, repeatable activities, the Accelerator actually saves you time and stress by making your leadership role more streamlined and impactful.
How long will it take to see changes in my team?
While every team is unique, leaders often start seeing positive shifts in their team’s alignment, communication, and engagement within the first few weeks of consistent implementation. The Accelerator is designed to create noticeable changes quickly by focusing on Critical Activities that yield real, visible results, helping you and your team gain momentum right from the start.
Can I expect a return on investment for the Accelerator?
Absolutely! The Accelerator boosts not only your effectiveness as a leader but also your team’s overall performance. When your team is aligned, motivated, and clear on their roles, productivity increases and turnover decreases, which directly impacts your organization’s bottom line. You’ll get back your investment through better results, improved team morale, and a work environment where people love to contribute.
What if I already have leadership experience? Will this still benefit me?
Yes! Even seasoned leaders find that the Accelerator provides valuable structure, fresh insights, and refined practices that elevate their impact. Leadership isn’t static—your needs and challenges evolve, and the Accelerator helps you continually level up by focusing on timeless fundamentals, so you can handle any challenge with greater clarity and confidence.
How is this different from traditional leadership training programs?
The LEQ Accelerator goes beyond theory. It’s all about action, focusing on the daily habits and interactions that make great leaders and build successful teams. Unlike programs that emphasize lofty ideals or leave you with a binder full of notes, the Accelerator equips you with doable, everyday actions that help you put effective leadership into practice immediately. It’s leadership you can see, feel, and measure.
Do I have to commit to the LEQ Accelerator to benefit from my LEQ Score and the LEQ System?
Absolutely not! The secret behind the LEQ system is not complicated, it’s just commonly overlooked. Leaders and training programs typically have the same aims, they just neglect to commit to the effective practices that will allow them to arrive at their desired outcomes. You can activate these 14 Critical Activities on your own - the process will simply take time and discipline. The coaching, accountability, and expert guidance of the Accelerator is available for leaders looking for help to activate (and fast track) their success.
What happens if I try to implement the LEQ Critical Activities on my own and decide I need more support?
No problem! We’re here to make sure you’re supported every step of the way. If you prefer to start with the self-guided approach and find you’d benefit from a coach, you can easily transition to the partnered pathway. We want to see you thrive, so you’re free to adjust the level of support to fit your needs.
How do you define "Effective Leadership?"
Effectiveness means that you, as a leader, are getting more done. You’re hitting your goals, you’re more productive than you’ve ever been. But it’s also about elevating the people around you so that they’re more productive than they’ve ever been. But it’s not just about grinding through the work.It’s about enjoying the process.
It’s about creating an environment where people like coming to work, where there’s less stress, higher levels of engagement, and where people even laugh more. Leadership isn’t just about hitting metrics; it’s about doing it in a way where everyone is having fun along the way. When people enjoy the work, when it’s engaging and meaningful, that’s when leadership is truly effective.
