How much capacity do you
actually have right now?

As AI absorbs more analytical work, four distinctly human capacities determine how well you lead. This assessment reveals where yours stand — and where the gaps may be costing you.

Presence

The capacity to be fully in the room — not just physically, but attentionally. It's the foundation of discernment: catching what's unsaid, reading what's actually happening, and responding to reality rather than a version of it filtered through distraction.

In meetings, I find myself thinking about what's next rather than fully absorbing what's happening now.
RarelyAlmost always
When someone is speaking, I'm genuinely listening rather than formulating my response.
RarelyAlmost always
I can sit with uncertainty or ambiguity without immediately moving to fix or resolve it.
RarelyAlmost always
Embodiment

The capacity to access your body as a source of intelligence — not just a vehicle for your brain. Leaders who are embodied regulate better under pressure, access intuition more readily, and make decisions from groundedness rather than anxiety.

Under pressure, I can access a sense of calm in my body even when the situation is stressful.
RarelyAlmost always
I make important decisions from a place of groundedness rather than urgency or anxiety.
RarelyAlmost always
I trust my intuition as a valid source of information when making complex decisions.
RarelyAlmost always
Imagination

The capacity to generate genuinely new thinking — not optimize existing patterns. In a world where AI excels at the latter, imagination is the distinctly human edge. It requires conditions most organizations have systematically eliminated.

I regularly make time for unstructured thinking — walks, stillness, space without an agenda.
RarelyAlmost always
I find myself generating genuinely new ideas rather than refining existing ones.
RarelyAlmost always
I can envision futures or scenarios that are meaningfully different from what currently exists.
RarelyAlmost always
Collective Intelligence

The capacity to create conditions where a group thinks better than any individual within it. This isn't collaboration for its own sake — it's designing the environment where the whole genuinely exceeds the sum of its parts.

The teams I lead regularly surprise me with thinking I couldn't have generated alone.
RarelyAlmost always
I actively create conditions for diverse perspectives to shape decisions, not just inform them.
RarelyAlmost always
I notice when a group is operating below its collective potential and know how to shift it.
