What is the Leadership Identity Assessment™ (LIA™)?

The Leadership Identity Assessment™ (LIA™) is Carl Shawn Watkins' free diagnostic for legal leaders. Twenty-five questions across five dimensions — identity, authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, resilience, and firm culture — reveal where you lead from identity versus performance, and where the “Courage Gap” is draining your firm. You'll receive a personalized 5-dimension profile.

The Leadership Identity Assessment™ measures five dimensions of courageous legal leadership: identity & clarity, authentic leadership & vulnerability, emotional intelligence, resilience & burnout prevention, and purpose-driven firm culture. Rate each of the 25 statements from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Your responses stay between you and Carl.
