Executive Summary

Your Backbone Profile

Seven principles at a glance.

Every score runs 0–100 and means one thing: how consistently you reported living out that principle. Higher is more dependable under pressure; lower means the behaviors show up less often when they matter most. Here is what each of your seven scores is telling you.

Where You Lead From

Your strongest contribution & your priority.

Your 90-Day Backbone Plan

Your Backbone Scorecard

Measure it, or it didn't happen.

Track these weekly. Elite leadership is a number that moves, not a feeling. Start by baselining each in week one.

Your Development Curriculum

Where to grow, in order of impact.

Your lowest score is your development priority, the one your 90-day plan above is built around. Your next two lowest come after it, in this order. Protect and maintain the rest.

The Premium Step

Book your Backbone Intensive.

  • A pre-read of your full report. L. David Harris reviews your profile before you meet, so no time is spent repeating what you already know.
  • A 60–90 minute working session. We interpret your scores, run a guided 360 gut-check (how your CEO and team would really score you), and finalize this 90-day plan against your real context.
  • A 30-day accountability check-in. One follow-up to keep the plan moving after you leave the room.

This is a paid working session, and your fee applies in full toward any coaching engagement you begin within 30 days. It is the bridge from your report to real change.

  1. Where do you see me creating the greatest stability and value?
  2. Which principle do I use least consistently under pressure?
  3. What am I holding that I should be developing in someone else?

How to read this

Scores reflect how consistently your current behaviors express each principle, normalized to 0–100. This is a developmental self-reflection tool, not a validated psychometric, clinical, or employment-selection instrument. Its power is the conversation and the plan it starts.
