Results and feedback from Velocity's leadership work
“Now associates understand themselves better, and leaders have new tools to support their teams.”
“Velocity challenged our team and brought us together in ways that have paid immediate dividends.”
How scoring works
Each check is one point. Healthy means 9 to 12 checks and at least 3 in every section. A high total with an empty section is a warning, not a pass.
0 to 4: Tank needs attention
Block time for culture work before anything else.
5 to 8: Close the gaps first
Use your unchecked boxes as this month's plan.
9 to 12: Healthy tank
Keep up small, steady maintenance.
