Understand where
short-term decisions
may be limiting long-term growth.
|
Every organization carries some level of Executive Debt — the hidden cost of decisions made to solve immediate problems without addressing long-term consequences. Over time, that debt compounds and shows up as stalled growth, friction across teams, and execution that feels harder than it should.
The Executive Debt Assessment is a free, structured diagnostic designed to help leadership teams identify where that debt exists and how it may be impacting strategy, execution, and performance.
\ What Is Executive Debt?
Executive Debt builds when leaders make necessary short-term decisions without resolving the underlying issues beneath them. These decisions often feel rational in the moment, but over time they create misalignment, inefficiency, and organizational drag.
Most companies don’t fail outright. They stall under the weight of unresolved decisions.
\ What This Assessment Helps You Do
The Executive Debt Assessment helps you:
- Identify where leadership decisions are creating friction or rework
- Surface misalignment that doesn’t show up in dashboards
- Separate symptoms from root causes
- Focus attention on the areas that matter most right now
This assessment is not about evaluating individual performance. It is designed to reveal organizational patterns that impact long-term health and execution.
\ What You’ll Receive
After completing the assessment, you’ll receive:
- Your overall Executive Debt Index (EDI)
- A category-level breakdown across key areas of the organization
- Insight into where risk is highest and where strengths already exist
- Practical guidance on where to start reducing Executive Debt
- Results are delivered immediately, with the option to download a summary for reference.
You can also view a sample Executive Debt Assessment results page to see exactly what the output looks like and how insights are presented.
\ Who This Assessment Is For
This assessment is especially useful if:
- Growth has slowed or become harder to sustain
- Execution feels inconsistent across teams
- Leadership alignment requires constant effort
- You suspect deeper issues than tools, talent, or tactics
This assessment may be less helpful if you are very early-stage and still validating foundational elements of the business.
\ What Happens After
Once you finish:
- You’ll see your results immediately
- You can download a PDF summary of your findings
- You may schedule an optional Executive Debt Review with an AspireSix Managing Partner
There is no obligation and no sales pressure. The assessment is designed to provide value whether or not you choose to take the next step.
